Quotes: Movie Critics Won't Affect Audience Experience

If you look at the successful issues movies, 'Erin Brockovich,' 'Norma Rae,'... I bet you don't remember what the issues are. What you remember are the characters realizing they can accomplish something, going up against a monolithic institution and being able to change it. - WBD backer in LA Times

"Getting rid of representative government and calling in a private entity to handle things, in our current Opposite Day political moment, represents a glorious triumph of people power. The 'parent trigger' invites parents to use their vote to give up their vote — that is, to be enormously powerful for one short moment of direct democracy, which they will use to dispose, in the long run, with the 'public' part of public school, and thus with any actual power over their children's education." -- Liza Featherstone, Dissent Magazine
