Ray Carney: Those movies were crap.
Interviewer: But a lot of people liked those movies a lot.
Ray Carney: They were still crap. What people need is
movies like John Cassavetes' Faces.
Interviewer: But a lot of people walk out of Cassavetes'
movies because they're so depressing.
Ray Carney: It doesn't matter. That's what people need, and
if people had any sense they'd realize it.
At times I don't think the term "consumer advocate" is appropriate
for Mr. Carney, and at other times I think that it's perfectly
appropriate.

Interviewer: I'm talking with the Ralph Nader of the film
industry, Ray (not Art) Carney. A real consumer advocate! Tell me, Ray,
what did you think about movies like Forrest Gump, Schindler's List,
and Pulp Fiction?
