Anyone read this recent NYTimes article? I couldn’t make it past, “Just when they should be at their peak, experienced workers in creative fields find that their skills are all but obsolete.” I also refrain from rubbing salt in my wounds. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Your pride is well earned. It’s one of the finest film history documentaries ever made, artfully balancing style and substance while being wildly entertaining. Time for a rewatch.
