H. L. MENCKEN Quote

Soon or late the movie as an art will have to emancipate itself from the movie as a vast, machinelike, unimaginative, imbecile industry...When that day comes the movies will split into two halves... There will be huge, banal, maudlin, idiotic movies for the mob, and no doubt the present movie magnates will continue to produce them. And there will be movies made by artists, and for people who can read and write.

(The Chicago Sunday Tribune, July 3, 1927)
