As if folks haven't noticed, there is a small cadre of self-aggrandizing sycophants that feed off of each other's "Grey Poupon" sensitivities, and/or insensitivities when the mood strikes them. For want of a better description, these fine gentlemen are this forum's art-house snobs; unfortunately, they often go out of their way to be unpleasant. I could mention them by name, but that's neither polite nor really necessary; they know who they are as do the observant here, and since Colin Powell isn't pressing me to give up their names let's just keep it that way. Besides, they're easily recognized by their common predisposition to an intense dislike of almost every current Hollywood production unless it's inaccessible to the masses or controversial in some politically incorrect fashion (i.e., in other words, a Conservative's wet-dream). Oh yes, in an example of fathomless oxymora they do seem to gravitate toward subtitled, foreign and Euro-centric filmfare, even though, curiously enough, they frequently disapprove of European politics and culture.

I think that just about covers it.
