I realize these things about both you and Vic. Many times I respect your opinions, but occasionally I need more than simple one liners...especially 'pure offensive caca'. Although, some films are not worth more...:)I expect the intelligent to be able to respond with a little more than that, when it is required/requested. Even in his post, Vic said he would 'discuss later'...well, is it now? By posting here, with such authority, one assumes the position of critic, even if only on an informal/amateur basis.
I like to know what social/cultural/political beliefs color a critic's opinions. This helps me know what to expect from them and about the films they comment on. No, Victor is not Peter Travers, but he has seen many more films than most here, including me, and his opinions matter...but only if he cares to respect the others here, and support his opinions with his reasoned ideas, not just quick, empty one liners...if not for your benefit, then ours.
Respect, like love, can only be had in the same measure as one gives.
