Anything film can do, TV can do better
David Kronke from LA Daily news talks about the idea that TV is better than Films. Joss Whedon and others, comment on this view. |
 "This is Hollywood's favorite time of the year, film's awards season, perpetuating the long-standing notion that the most significant, rewarding and exhilarating work coming out of the entertainment industry can only be seen at your local movie theater."
Bunk!!
"While this was once true, it is no longer. The best American television is better today than the best American movies, say a number of industry professionals who have worked in both mediums."
...
"Television not only offers writers the chance to create nuanced characters, but to follow them on far deeper journeys than any two-hour film could offer. Here are some thoughts about whether TV is better than film, from those who work in both mediums."
Joss Whedon, director ("Serenity"), series creator ("Buffy the Vampire Slayer," "Angel"): "It's a wild generalization, but not an unfair one. ... I'm not a fan of the 'ride' as filmed art. There's no reason films can't be more exciting and thoughtful. I tend to be Joe Mainstream and, in that stream, I'd like to see some more interesting fish."
