in the entertainment industry.
Story telling is it. This worked for me...but for you apparantly it didn't. Does that make the film 'good' or not...or just not appealing to you?
Do you watch movies from the standpoint of artistic merit, story telling, information or overall entertainment value?
I would usually hesitate to pursue this subjective relativist argument for art, but movies are different from other art forms. I can find reviews that say almost anything about the same movie, so what does that mean? Is one more valid and objective than another? If so, whose?
I find this particular forum pretty drenched in condescending, self congratulatory snootiness. Where certain films will always be met with the same kind of predictable dismissal that I wonder if the poster even bothered to watch. The thread concerning Michael Clayton being a good example. I hate to see you drawn down into that arrogance.
Me, I always sound arrogant. It is something I have to work with....
I don't care if you 'specialize' in obscure 50's B&W Asian film or whatever. I just think you should be honest about your critical 'reviews'. If you know you won't like something why bother spending the time and money?
Don't take me wrong though, I liked your post....condescentional adjectives and all. :)
But Purile?
