De Niro: Media is a dinosaur

Acting legend Robert De Niro is philosophical about press criticism of his movies, insisting it often has nothing to do with their quality.

The Oscar winner has been berated in recent years for choosing to appear in films deemed unworthy of his talent - his performance in 2002 movie City by the sea was described as "a Swiss watchsmith working on a faulty Timex" - but he insists all criticism is subjective and often very random.
