I don't even mean this as a bad thing. I just think it's pretty obvious when looking at the movies of people like Godard, Haneke, Bergman, Weerasethakul, Bresson, Kiarostami, etc., that they are of one aesthetically unified genre, just as you could say the same about horror movies made by Craven, Carpenter, Hooper, etc.

I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Man, I couldn't finish this. I wanted to. But I felt like I was being attacked and condescended to and treated like a piece of shit.

That's just a side-effect of engaging with both me and Kaius in one day

Ouch.
But that's probably fair. I really do want to read it. But I feel like that kind of criticism accomplishes nothing. It seems like it's trying to be superior to the supposed people who feel like they are superior. I don't know. I have a hard time with all of this. Like you said, it's probably my fault. God forbid I just like things without need to label and classify to the nith degree. *shrugs*

But I should probably see the movie being critiqued before I read the review, right? I mean, that only seems fair.

Haha, I was being semi-facetious. I didn't mean to insult you. But I think part of understanding criticism is being willing and able to confront personal beliefs and attitudes. A critic highlighting and explaining things they have a problem with shouldn't be taken as an insult, even if they are being critical of a group you may feel you belong to.
