Jesse Eisenberg on how critics are just jealous: http://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2015/11/23/an-honest-film-review … Certainly one way to explain the reviews for American Ultra.
@charlielyne @GuyLodge but critics never discuss a director's intention without knowing?

@CharlotteCook@GuyLodge They do, and that's shit too. I never said critics can't be just as bad at writing as Jesse Eisenberg. -
@charlielyne@GuyLodge but that's what I'm saying. He's distinctly not critiquing the good critics -
@CharlotteCook@GuyLodge Wait wait wait, you're saying JE is writing a bad argument to comment on critics' bad arguments? That's generous! -
@charlielyne@guylodge no, not what I was saying at all -
@CharlotteCook@GuyLodge I'm lost. I said JE's piece is shit for same reason critics assuming intentions is shit. -
@charlielyne@CharlotteCook@GuyLodge The aim of JE's piece is surely only to provoke film critics in a bid to prove his point, no? -
@MarkDTowers@charlielyne@CharlotteCook To provoke them, yes. To prove his point? I'm not quite sure what that is. -
@GuyLodge@charlielyne@CharlotteCook I don't think it's a particularly well made point, but saying they're insecure is the gist I got. - 1 more reply
