In Reply to: How is he performing a public service regurgitating the words of one of the few critics... posted by Audiophilander on December 21, 2003 at 09:05:41:
...express an opinion on TRotK? On TTT I did, indeed, express myself, but the charge against me here is as much a fabulation as the writer's stuff on Outside.Regarding "the second hand comments of a second string critic", well, we all know how the writer admires trash and now we learn that the "first string critics" -- like Ebert and SiskelII? -- evidently thrill his pants off because of their exalted status.
So amusing...
Follow Ups:
Unless "cj" is the character from the fictional albeit more inspirational West Wing (i.e., the Press Secretary as portrayed by Allison Janny), then that opinion sure as shootin' looks like your's buckeroo! ;^)Of course, you'll probably say that the initialed comment merely separated the views of the critic, who's deftless prose you apparently admire greatly, from your own. However, it certainly leaves the impression that you completely agree with his viewpoint in spite of the fact that you obviously lack first hand observations about the film!
So, I ask again: How did you formulate an opinion about a movie you haven't seen?
Since some lessons bear repeating I'll re-link an excellent URL that provides a national cross section of critical opinion on TRotK. Needless to say, I'm inclined to agree with the majority opinion here, and BTW, I have seen the film!
