The Decline Of The Aperitif

If You Were To Ask Me If I'd Ever Had The Bad Luck To Miss My Daily Cocktail, I'd Have To Say That I Doubt It; Where Certain Things Are Concerned, I Plan Ahead.

Frankly, Despite My Horror Of The Press, I'd Love To Rise From The Grave Every Ten Years Or So And Go Buy A Few Newspapers.

Fortunately, Somewhere Between Chance And Mystery Lies Imagination, The Only Thing That Protects Our Freedom, Despite The Fact That People Keep Trying To Reduce It Or Kill It Off Altogether.

I Think Films Are Perishable, Because They Depend Too Much On Technology, Which Advances Too Quickly And The Films Become Old-fashioned, Antiques. What I Hope For Is That Technology Advances To The Point That Films In The Future Will Depend On A Little Pill Which You Take; Then You Sit In The Dark, And From Your Eyes You Project The Film You Want To See On A Blank Wall.

Thank God I'm An Atheist.
