I feel like a lot of your movie reviews are highly weight by your socio-politico opinions. Honestly, Loathed, I just read both your 2014, and 2013 lists and they left me incredulous. We completely agree half the time, and then you get some stuff so completely wrong, I just can't even deal with it.

Yeah, all my thoughts on movies are indeed influenced by those. And also by what I value aesthetically/cinematically. I don't try to hide that.

It's okay. Has some good moments. I do think it's overrated, though. As is most of Carpenter's work.

No one get's my goat as much as this guy. He lampoons True Detective and the Swoons over Sex and the City. It's so obvious he's just saying shit to provoke and yet he doesn't even seem to know it. It's a real conundrum...

What can I say? I guess my opinions just...provoke?

And Sex and the City is about a bajillion times better than True Detective.

Let's find some non-provocative opinions. What movies do both you and the masses agree are masterpieces? For example, how many movies in the IMDB Top 250 would also be listed in your top 250 movies?
