Re: Your Favourite Users
One of my favorite reviews is Judge Holden's review of the 1937 film MAKE WAY FOR TOMORROW: The elderly, with their wandering, confused minds and putrid, pre-corpse smell, are stark reminders of our own mortality and of the meaninglessness of existence. Old age homes should not exist. Once their tra...

No. I have flirted with you in the past, but you've never reciprocated and instead you preferred to either ignore me or continue arguing. I've learned my lesson.

Re: Your Favourite Users
djross, we like your writing precisely because it is harsh and authoritative. If this were true you would have people who are harsh and authoritative on your fav users more often. The truth is you like him because it's harsh, authoritative and you agree with it. If you only liked harsh and authorat...

Re: Your Favourite Users
djross, [...] you occasionally categorize, particularly when you call one generation or another "infantilized". [...] my two favorite reviews of yours this year are your reviews of TOMORROWLAND and MAD MAX: FURY ROAD. Strange, because the TOMORROWLAND review is where I mention generations...

Re: Your Favourite Users
I have a hard time recreating my tone on an internet message board. If I were to have said everything I wrote in person, it would be obvious I'm flirting with you.

Re: Your Favourite Users
djross... Whilst your compliments seem rather back-handed, I promise to do my utmost to accept them with grace. So thank you. Let's just say I think you're handsome and smart and I'd love to go out to dinner with you, but I have no idea what to expect in bed, and I'm not so sure if I'm ready for lo...

Re: Your Favourite Users
djross, we like your writing precisely because it is harsh and authoritative. I like when you bring the hammer down. I am particularly fond of your star wars prequel reviews, which point out a truth that always seemed obvious to me (the truth being: there isn't a vast difference in quality between t...

Re: Your Favourite Users
djross Authoritative. Trust's a tough thing to come by these days. There are no professional reviewers whose opinion I would trust, and most of them seem decidedly too inclined to the herd instinct. What makes it difficult for me to trust a reviewer, irrespective of whether they are professional or...

Re: "The Hateful Eight"
Seeing this today in 70mm. Can't wait. How apt are the comparisons to The Thing ? Never saw it. I would compare it mostly to other Tarantino stuff, or Alfred Hitchcock on steroids. Oh man, well you should definitely see The Thing . One thing I'm excited about, which is probably dorky as fuck, is th...
