>>> "I really don't care for you playing those stereotypes cards every time you run out of arguments. You alweays have them on the ready and play them willingly, believing they give you some edge." <<<Funny, but I don't recall posting anything to elicit that sort of defensive posturing from you. I wasn't looking for an "edge" nor was I challenging you to a card game; furthermore, I didn't infer that you were a cutural bigot, racist or any such thing, if that's what you're getting at. I only stated that (quote) "identifying tastes by culture is at the very least presumptuous and at worst stereotypical" (unquote). You were the one who made the statement (quote) "Sure enough that is not a universal notion. It is mostly an American one" (unquote).
>>> "... you have an absolute right to dislike any movie you feel like - and Solaris is no exception." <<<
Thanks, I appreciate that!
>>> "It is perfectly fine just to say "I don't like it" but you tried to provide a reason and that reason, and that reson was completely flawed." <<<
How was it flawed? The subjective comment I made about Solaris being dull was honest and straightforward. Also, the "reason" I provided was logical and observable, not "shallow", for anyone who finds themselves watching this snoozer.
