'Alien' Director Slams Gadgets

Director Ridley Scott, creator of classics such as "Alien" and "Blade Runner," says movies are suffering from a proliferation of viewing choices. Speaking at the Venice Film Festival, Scott said watching movies on phones, media players, computer screens and whatall compromises the experience:

We try to do films which are in support of cinema, in a large room with good sound and a big picture. But we're fighting technology...While it has been wonderful in many aspects, it also has some big negative downsides.
