Ignoring the pretensiousness of your statement, let's just agree that your opinion is subjective and perhaps informed by a prejudice against the genre.

Picking the wings off of butterflies might be considered fun to a child, but picking apart popular movies requires a more mature, smpathetic, analytical approach, don't you think?
I hate to admit, but clark is right here.A popular movie! To the Big Mac culture only.
Of course we all know that Clark isn't part of the Big Mac culture, but using your fast food scale as criteria for calculating the nutritional value of his arguments, I'm still left with the impression that Mr. Johnsen's criticism of Alien is light weight.
