"Am I ? ( intolerant )" - Is the Pope Catholic?

Yes, but that doesn't necessarily mean that every opinion should be EXPRESSED, regardless of how rude or condescending, without expecting criticism in return. My responses are measured by the calibre of the post I'm replying to; if you haven't figured that out by now then you never will.

BTW, both of you grey-poupon trifflers are quick to drop in smart-arse comments about LoTR and other fantasy & SF films whenever the opportunity presents itself, but neither of you have watched this series in it's entirity, either the theatrical releases or extended cuts. This is something others here need to be made aware of: you're "informed" opinions about LoTR are based on brief cursory impressions, ill suited to be taken seriously.

The only film of any genre I recall ever having given such a partial critique is the almost unwatchable original version of Solaris, which some folks apparently regard quite highly. This film literally performs the function of Sominex every time I try to watch it; of course it doesn't help that Solaris is usually shown late at night on TCM, but I fear that earlier scheduling wouldn't change my reaction in any perceivable way.

But I digress.

When you and/or Victor issues drop in snotty or sarcastic asides about films that folk's have remarked positively about, it not only expresses your opinion, more often than not an uninformed opinion I might add, but it also insults the tastes of the viewer. I'm not just talking about reviewing films that disappointed you with a negative impression. You're certainly entitled to do that.

MY point is that far too often YOU & Victor demonstrate a personal dislike for certain films, ridiculing them as trash, "kaka", ineptly made and without merit, for children only, etc., etc., etc., which demeans not only the film or films, but the fan who happens to appreciate that particular film or film series. You're especially insulting of well reviewed films loved by the masses, as if the acclaim is unjustly earned and an instant black mark against whatever it is you're critisizing.

I'm sure that I've wasted my time giving you an ernest response, so I'll await your next troll post and react accordingly.

Have a nice day.

AuPh
