The TV Set *
Jake Kasdan
US
@ home on DVD
These felt like scenes from a pretty good movie, but where they left a lot of the good parts out of the final cut. It's just not quite cutting enough or brilliant enough or caring enough. Also, it's been a truism since the dawn of time that network television caters to the lowest common denominator, so how are we supposed to feel anything but annoyed at a guy who rants and raves about not being able to make important, personal art through that medium? It's like an artisanal cheesemaker who becomes disillusioned when his new job at the Kraft factory turns out to be manager of the American singles line.
