While normally it's unwise to respond to rudeness, occasionally I do make an exception.

"Your Mr. Shepherd doesn't impress me, but then I'm not from Boston."

Mr. Shepherd is not *my* Mr. Shepherd, but his own man. And far from reading only Boston-based critics, as you have wrongfully accused me of doing before, I get around. For instance, to San Diego -- where Mr. Shepherd writes.

PS For the insider view you are unable to offer, here's sjb's message, which he's reworking:

The music in Elizabethtown is used with less effect than in any of Crowe's
other films.
------------------------------
Instead of supporting or underscoring a moment or theme in the film (which,
while overused, his musical choices usually do) the music in Elizabethtown
seems to have it's own agenda and it mostly succeeded in pulling me out of
the film. Among the problems with the music was its frequent use as a
foreground element when it should have been a background element or it
starting too soon during a potentially heartfelt moment or it stepping on
the actors' lines and, more than ever, they were just poor choices of
songs.

Crowe wasn't able to work with his regular editor which could have easily
been a factor in how poor the weaving of the music into the fabric of the
film was.

[Exactly!]
