    Stanley Kauffmann basically hated every movie I've ever loved. I wish I had met him.https://twitter.com/NewRepublic/status/742144562802642944 …

    Raiders of the Lost Ark is a classic now, but in 1981, our film critic wasn't having it. http://bit.ly/1rh9yrK  pic.twitter.com/xrhzwD0mRo

        Jeet! You can love trash, especially as a kid, but have you seen this mess recently?

        @NewRepublic Raiders of the Lost Ark a CLASSIC? Of what besides a gloss of high production values over mindless pop Orientalism?

        The little dash of sexism in the Carrie Fisher passage was the crowning touch.

        Really? He was one of my favorite critics of any medium. I didn’t share his tastes on everything, but I did on a decent amount

        Oh, he was a very fine critic. I'm just amazed at the films he disliked. Godfather, most Kubrick, most Coen, etc.

        @NewRepublic I'm a fan of Spielberg, but can't argue with gripes about nostalgia. I've always found that irritating in his films

        He certainly had a knack for over-intellectualizing. Brings me back to college days, 1970's, hashish in the door rooms, talking. .

        @NewRepublic But, he rather liked Jaws 2 , perhaps the worst movie ever made
