Explanation:

The book you hold in your hands is often inconsistent, frequently self-subverting and, from time to time, utterly and stupefyingly wrongheaded. If it were not, I hasten to add, it would be pretty much useless, and not nearly as interesting as it is. Just as no director sets out to make a bad movie, so no critic sets out to render a faulty judgment, and most of us have sufficient pride to stand by our verdicts even as the taste of the majority and the opinion o f history itself conspire to render them absurd. But however out-of-touch we may end up looking—or, for that matter, however prophetic—we know, as we type, dictate or email our copy for the morning paper, that the last word will not be ours. And so this volume is a collection of first words, some prescient, some premature, and worth a good deal less than the thousand pictures they describe. Though its title may invoke the authority of The New York Times, this collection is more likely to start arguments than to settle them, argument being one of the solemn duties of criticism and, more importantly, one of the great pleasures of movie-going.
