It's so  predictably ironic that the Salon article concludes with a 
link to an  illegal, badly transferred, horribly compressed YouTube 
version of  Mothlight. That's exactly what makes film purists angry 
about digital, and  frankly, I can't blame them.

Yeah. The guy is a little twirp, too-- he totally rips off Creative Cow's  
article only to add an even more cynical spin. And what the hell does he 
know  anyway?-- his world-weary, condescending, oh-so-hip attitude is 
ridiculously out  of scale. He writes likes he's 75 years old.
 
Plus,
 
a) Never trust a man with three names, and
 
b) Never trust anyone that young who has no hair. That haircut of his is  
really awful-- so why the hell should we defer to him on anything? He  knows 
nothing.
 
He's a typical "ought" a-hole who has no idea what he's talking about. His  
typewriter analogy is stupid, and for anyone to claim that film is a goner 
is  like saying that because we have Photoshop we no longer need oil paints.
 
Mark my words: in 100 years people are going to be MUCH more interested in  
celluloid prints than in any stupid and archaic digital compression scheme  
of years gone by.
 
This fact alone will make today's film work even more valuable. All the  
digital crap will have melted away-- thank God !  The artifact is  king.
