How can one supply "pointers" for films admittedly unseen?

Actually, what I've set up is more akin to a "great Oz" argument since you're apparently a humbug. You would like folks to believe that you're a very good man and I would not contest that, but you've proven time and again that you're a very bad Wizard.

Again, I don't believe that anyone has questioned your critiquing films you HAVE seen; that has NEVER been an issue, AFAIC. This is about linking second-hand opinions of those films which you apparently have NOT seen.

You claim that posting a critic's comments provides a sound basis for discussion, but I beg to differ. Posting "pointers" without first-hand knowledge provides no basis for discussing a film's merits, good or bad, and idle speculation makes for a rather flaccid argument.

>>> "You're so full of yourself." <<<

Another example of an uninformed opinion, since you don't actually know me. ;^)
