***How many films are better than Armaggedon ?

Well, that's one open-ended question. Thousands, I would say.

***What should Criterion pick ?

For WHAT purpose? To maintain its artistic integrity or to ....?

***We seem to be living in an artistic wasteland.

Where? US? Europe? Asia? World? Wrong on all of the above. The analogy would be eating at the McDonalds and claiming there is no good food to be found anywhere. Simply wrong.

***Film after film manages to make it to the theater with no script.

Sorry, you are watching and SUPPORTING wrong films. Good ones are out there.

***Many have models not actors. Look at Star Wars, insipid dialogue delivered by non actors in a rough draft of a script designed to link up the visual effects.

Why should ANYONE look at Star Wars besides the kids?

You are building a strawman. It is true that what is generally shown in the theater next to you in most US cities is garbage. But most of the Criterion list is not that sort of stuff. They mostly have the movies that you have to work at finding. Not your next show five minutes away.

You are not saying they should be serving Big Macs at the 5-star joints, are you?
