Entry: The Broken Compass Link: http://www.takimag.com/site/article/the_broken_compass#11593 Post contents: As a Cinema Studies student graduating in the spring I completely agree that the hacks in Hollywood today have nothing on the classical era. Frank Capra, Howard Hawks, John Ford, Merian C. Cooper, Errol Flynn, and Cary Grant were either class acts (like Grant) or real adventurers (like Flynn) and so they brought talent and art to the screen. Those in Hollywood today are hacks who flunked out of high school and can only make pop culture references. And for the Tolkien vs Lewis debate, as much as I love Tolkien, "The Lion, The Witch, and The Wardrobe" was the book that made me love reading as a kid so I'm for Lewis. Sent at: 2008 09 07
