"Do you get out of shape any time someone here mentions a particular critic and his opinion? Hardly."Bent out of shape? No. If someone presents a critic's opinion as evidence of qualitiy then I tend to be dismisive. Just as I am dismisive of the audience reaction to Davinci Code at Cannes. OTOH a well thought out critique that has more than just an opinion of quality is something I will pay attention to. Laughter from a few unnnamed audience memebers, even at Cannes, doesn't really mean anything to me.
"Folks at Cannes do know a few things about movies."Some do and some have the heads up their asses.
" Their opinion is at the same plane as that of most serious critics. So for anyone paying attention to what experienced people have to say, places like Cannes is always a good start."
By that reasoning the Oscars and the BAFTAs should be a far more authoritative word on excellence for if anybody has an unimpeachable body of experience it is the memebers of these groups.
"I can kinda assure you that if all you viewing was based on the Cannes preferences, you would not be so badly off.'
Actually I'm not so bad off just thinking for myself.
