"There are no new pathologies under the sun. Watching older movies is great for this, "The Apartment" is another uncannily relevant source of social commentary."
"There's a scene in "The Swimmer" (released in 1968) where a 20 year old girl talks about meeting her boyfriend by computer, and wonders about the old days when people fell in love in person"
