Once again, you post a conclusion without providing any analysis, then accuse another of being intellectually dishonest. Apparently, being hypocritical does not pose a problem for you.
What movies have you seen that were released in 2005? What films have you seen off of Ebert's top ten list? If you have not seen the films, then how can you comment, or does your superior intelligence allow you to be lazy? What films in Ebert's past lists would you disagree with? And, here is the biggie, the question which intellectually lazy people loathe, why? You are very adept at providing conclusions, apparently incapable of providing analysis. But why start now?

I'm sorry if it appears like laziness to not go into why I don't like them, but I simply haven't the slightest desire to discuss them. Is it worth one's time to discuss why Thomas Kincade is a bad painter? It's not my aim to convince anyone to change his mind. If you're content with bad art, then more power to you.
Convincing a philstine of his lack of taste is a fruitless endeavor. One can only let him wallow in it.

  Care to specify which films? You remind me of Cliff Claven from Cheers. The guy who likes to drone on about how much smarter he is, says absolutely nothing, proves that he is an idiot, then sits contentedly with a grin, all the while his life's calling is delivering mail and living with his mother in a mediocre apartment. This person needs to convince others of his superior intellect and culture all the while refusing to lay the cards on the table.
  Educated people are not lazy. Educated people are willing to submit their analysis, not their conclusions, for public comment. That you are not willing to do so demonstrates that you have more in common with Cliff Claven than someone who is truly educated, and someone able to add something productive, meaningful, and enlightening to discourse.
Well put; Donald trumped! (nt) - Audiophilander 11:19:38 12/20/05 (0)
