whatever

google has probably pre-emptively archived these already. Is this supposed to confer some type of status upon these films. The government can't even run the postal service efficiently - I don't need them deciding which films are worth of preservation - especially since private industry is decades ahead of them in the preservation business.

Stupid

25 films per year. Do you realise how fucking retarded the Library of Congress is going to appear to future generations by saving copies of only TWENTY FIVE films per year for their little 'National Film Registry'? Fuck it, I'm alive at the same time this is happening, and I'm already laughing at their short-sightedness..

I think conceptually this is a great idea, but at the same time it's kinda bullshit. If a movie means something to even one person, it has as much merit as a movie than means something to millions of people. For someone to pick and choose which films are 'worthy' of preservation just sounds incredibly pretentious to me. Every film, no matter how 'good' or 'bad', should have an equal chance.

It's all fine and good that these are the films that they choose to represent our culture, but it's like a school principal planting smart kids in the hallway to impress the visiting superintendent. Sure it paints a good picture of the school, but it sure as hell is not an accurate one.
