"Your "review" had the requisite disdain for the lower classes,"Where was the disdain for lower classes. His comments on the poor behavior of the common theater goer hardly implies any class distinction. Wealthy people can be just as obnoxious and intrusive as poor people.
" the sarcastic condescension and ironic detachment that both protects you from criticism that you shouldn't have gone to see such "kaka" in the first place and demonstrates your general immunity to the film's facile attempts at emotionally manipulating someone of such "towering intellect" as yours, plus a complete lack of any meaningful insight into the film itself."
Hardly. He raises issues about the actual content of the film. The issues of substance that he raised well deserve sarcasim and condencension. There is no excuse for such mistakes. Sometimes such errors interfere with the suspesion of disbelief and prevent the viewer from being fully involved in the movie. One cannot discuss the insight of a film if they miss it due to the painful distractions of poor craft.
"You'll fit in well here."If he continues to discuss the merits of a film's content he will have my respect.
