      This man doesn't know WTF he is talking about. I and many others would be happy to explain that to @nationalpost readers for a suitable fee.https://twitter.com/JoelGord/status/816815442337505281 …

      You guys are all focusing on the bad thing he says about Scorsese. The *real* bad thing is what he says about Westerns. pic.twitter.com/L1mTyrd9z9

      You don't burnish your pet genre by trying to make the genius Scorsese sound doddering and reducing all Westerns to John Ford & Shenandoah.

      Here's where I'm usually told not to draw attention to clickbait. But if we don't shout down this rubbish, mark my words, it WILL take over.

          Not one, no. But it's a lot more than one, over time. I see this kind of crap so often. And in bigger venues than ever.

          Right. Film knowledge aside, this is a transparently slipshod argument that an editor at a major paper let thru.

          If I had a nickel for every time I've seen some numbskull dismissing all Westerns because he doesn't like Ford & The Searchers...
