"***Saying you did not "like" a film is one thing, saying it is "bad" because you did not like it is arrogant,
WOW! Put differently, there is nothing bad in life, only things you dislike... ain't that kinda like "arrogant"?"

No saying one's personal opinion is objective and definitive when it flies in the face of the body of expert opinions would be arrogant.

"Now you got me utterly confused... you make it sound like many people liking something makes it good... but hey, then someone not liking it makes it bad... or does it not?"

It does appear you are confused.

"Which raises the question: Did all these people get it wrong, and Tin get it right? Or did Tin get it wrong, and all these people right? "

So now, suddenly, good and bad is the matter of voting. Lovely... no wonder AuPh keeps getting orgasms over his beloved LoTR - that one collected whole lot more money than Bicycle Thief."

To adegree it really is just a matter of voting. What makes art objectively good if it isn't a body of well inofrmed people simply saying "That's good?" If you have an alternative means of measuring art please fill us in.
