"I'm not sure if you realize it, but most academic publishers won't publish something unless it is approved by a group of other film professors who invariably want things dumbed down to coincide with their own ideas or tricked out with a lot of fashionable jargon and theory and footnotes so that it will resemble other currently fashionable work; that's called 'peer review' and it's the only way a book gets published by a university press, which is where I'd be publishing." Ray Carney's Mailbag, page 22.
