Does that mean that Spielberg should give up films? Of course not! BUT he could start and end the day with a few minutes of Torah learning. That is all we can ask of anyone. There is NO point in sitting and doing this all day unless you enjoy it and can afford it. Keep the movies coming Coen Bros! TM

Josh,

You can say that about general Hollywood pop culture but not about the Coen Brothers, who are among the most influential filmmakers of their time for reinventing practically every genre of film — horror, thriller, noir, romantic comedy, etc. While there is some criticism that their genre-bending style is overly methodical and smug, their best work — including, or especially, The Big Lebowski — will last.

Who needs filmmakers? Who needs musicians or sculptors? Who needs actors? What do they contribute to the world other than some weirdly painted canvases or performances that are forgotten by the next breakfast. Wait! I know! The Jewish ones should be in a yeshiva somewhere studying talmud. Nothing fleeting about that, and the contribution to the world?! Just a tad greater than what Jewish accountants and lawyers contribute. Who needs artists? Who needs filmmakers? Who needs musicians or sculptors? Who needs actors?

So in this case, you might be giving money to Jewish directors and writers, but what have they contributed to the world other than a 90 minute flic that no one will remember a few months after its release?
