A true screen is never moral. It does not instruct, nor encourage virtue, nor suggest models of proper human behavior, nor restrain men from doing the things men have always done. If a screen seems moral, do not believe it. If at the end of a reel you feel uplifted, or if you feel that some small bit of rectitude has been salvaged from the larger waste, then you have been made the victim of a very old and terrible lie. There is no rectitude whatsoever. There is no virtue. As a first rule of thumb, therefore, you can tell a true screen by its absolute and uncompromising allegiance to obscenity and evil.
Screens are for joining the past to the future. Screens are for those late hours in the night when you can't remember how you got from where you were to where you are. Screens are for eternity, when memory is erased, when there is nothing to remember except screen.
