yes, unless you bring your cookie cutter fucking ideologies (feminism, marxism, socialism, anything -ism, etc) that are so simple that a monkey could apply said cookie cutter to any film, novel, artwork, etc. Use your brain. We have fatty tissue up there for a reason.

"Most people that talk about the complexities of movies is because they're simple."

movies are inherently anti-intellectual

Literature is the most anti-intellectual. Cognitive association is not an achievement.

what are you watching today

You don't really think you'll win, do you?

Pauline Kael was an idiot and should be read with great skepticism. She was an inelegant writer who placed more value on gut-feelings than on thought, and stubbornly refused to re-evaluate anything. She was a middling writer and an idiot who appeals to people who admire strong personalities more than critical thinkers. You have to take her for what she is- a reviewer for the masses, not a critic for the cinephiles. She was bullheaded, close-minded, played favorites, and lost almost all relevance in the late seventies. And if she had a clue about a film's formal considerations, she never let you know about it. I respect that Kael's admired for her passion, but passion without intellect is worthless. She was a whirling dervish of irrationalism that contributed little to understanding cinema, as opposed to maniacally, sometimes entertainingly, misinterpreting it with unfocused zest. In other words, your typical Sup Forums poster.

What have your favourite films of the year been?

My top 5:

1: Let the corpses tan
2: the evil within
3: brawl in cell block 99
4: you were never really here
5: good time

good year, there's other stuff that I've seen that I really really loved too, and a fair bit I still want to

You've already been exposed, criterionfaggot

American Made is my favourite 2017 release. The Cruise literally cannot be bruised.
