Why is that because he's not as anal retentive like many on this forum?What pompous conservative right wing hack do you propose we read to get insight on anything?

Try Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader. He's the finest film critic in the English language. Robin Wood is also superb.Neither one is even remotely conservative, if that eases your mind at all. It's disturbing that you equate philistinism with liberalism.
For mwe it's Anthony Lane in the "New Yorker".
Excellent, lucid analysis. All his books make great reading; ' PlacingMovies', 'Movies as Politics' and 'Movie Wars' in particular. The latter is recommended for anyone who thinks free market forces control what films are available to us at the local cinema...well, it is guided by an invisible hand, only it's in the shape of people the likes of the Weinsteins et al.Rico, RGA, corndog et al: I'd recommend reading some of his stuff, if you haven't already. Very entertaining, and maybe it'll help those who think Donald is just being plain snotty.
