Your tantrums are not particularly impressive

You seem to be under an impression that you somehow have some mysterious right to demand something from me, or to tell me what to do, including telling me pack my toys.

Truth is, you have not set yourself up yet as such an authority, so you will just have to accept that some of your screams are met with ridicule.

Like everyone else here, I have an absolute right to express my opinion on any move I wish, without your kind permission. It matters about zero to me whether you will consider my statements "facts" or "opinions", while in fact ALL statements expressed by all participants here are opinions. It also matters zero to me whether you consider my statements "allegations" - if you do, I guess you will simply have to learn to live with that.

I know you missed my reference to Analog Scott's quote, but in reality it was important, as it demonstarted your hypocrisy in these matters - giving one opinion (expressed stronly and without any justification, BTW) a complete clean pass, while latchin on like a pitbull on another. If you consider yourself some sort of a watchman of opinions vs. facts, at least try to make your ridiculous statements in some consistent fashion.

So I do not feel like I owe you any further explanations. However, you seem to be fixating on what you call "scenes", while to me it is more the whole movie. Frankly, I got such a bad taste from SL that I am not too inclined to go into deep analysis of that marvel, much like his SPR - both films placed extremely low on my totem pole - another thing you will apparently have to learn to live with. I was talking about SS's consistent approach, as examplified by several of his works, not a particular scene.

Furthermore, during this discussion, you had commited several severe fallacies, for which you refused to take ownership - including the rather ridiculous references to veterans and repeated claims of my "not getting" something in SS's works. But as, unlike you, I am not prone to tantrums, you do not owe me any explanations in those regards, I am simply noting them here.

As I stated before, you position on SS and his films would have gained a bit more weight if it was supported by knowledge of great films that tackled the same subjects - namely the war and the Holocaust. Without that demonstrated knowledge your "opinion" (or "facts" is you wish) take on a rather shallow nature.
