Pauline Kael once said...
Every filmy journalist's favorite Quote-a-matic, Pauline Kael, goes three-for-three. Roger Ebert, reviewing the reissue of Godard's Masculin-Feminin, cites: "Pauline Kael, who loved the film, was even more heartless in her description, calling them "this new breed between teenagers and people." The Weekend Australian recalls the late critic's tsk-ing of Arthur Miller: "American critic Pauline Kael asserted that Miller could never keep a secret when it came to writing: we always know what he is going to do." Bonus: actor Peter Bonerz, esteeming the DVD release of "The Bob Newhart Show," A's to the Chicago Sun-Times: "I mean, we were being reviewed by film reviewers in the New Yorker, that's how culturally relevant we were. Pauline Kael once said that the screwball film comedies of the '40s don't exist in film, they exist on the [CBS] Saturday night lineup."
