Damn. Missed my cue. Should have read your post before I posted mine. sorry, dear. (LOL!)I can't complain about condescension. I'm horribly condescending myself, at every opportunity; I just try to be clever about it. Writers all have a terrible egomaniacal problem. Why else would we be arrogant enough to believe people should pay their hard-earned money to read what we have to say?!
AuPh is terribly better educated in film than I am; he can attest that I quite often wander off when he's trying to show me Important Film, or (worse) go to sleep and wake up when the end credits roll. It isn't that I'm stupid or disinterested; it's just that there is some predisposition that I lack, the way he loathes mayonnaise and I mostly can't stand mustard.
I suspect why it's called "taste."
