The Godard quote is entirely typical, but I wonder if it could come from
a fairly recent film, possibly IN PRAISE OF LOVE, which I have not yet
seen but that I do know gives several knocks to Hollywood.
It might also be in 2 X 50 YEARS OF FRENCH CINEMA, made for the 1995
"centennial" of film's "birth," in which Godard appears himself,
questioning the very notion of why anyone is celebrating the
*commercial* birth of cinema: "Why not just take the money and
celebrate that?" he asks.
It is most likely in reaction to the cost and success of TITANIC, but I
don't have anything more definite than that.

Subject: Godard quote
Hi all,
I'm trying to track down a quotation that I heard attributed to Godard,
but
Google and the various Godard websites have let me down. It goes
something
like this: What Hollywood really wants is to make just one film a year
that costs a billion dollars.
Ring a bell for anyone?
Thanks,
--Bill
