"I clearly meant you're ill-equipped to offer satisfactory commentary on any film, as you prove every time you post."You would never supply them. Case in point. Not too long ago, you criticized Ebert for basically being a populist. I then challenged you to list critics you respected. You name two that I recall, Sarris and Rosenbaum. I then provided you statistics that demontrated each of those critics were almost identical to Ebert on the percentage of agreement in their reviews among national critics, and that for each, they praised 60% of Ebert's top ten for 2005. Your response? None.
So please, put down your dictionary, step up to the plate, and provide specifics. You know, actual work.
