@NewYorker@tnyfrontrow And it wasn't "mob" mentality in criticizing it. Read Pauline Kael's review. She was precise in dismantling it. -
@Rogervanoo@NewYorker Her invective was absurd, insulting, scattershot. -
@tnyfrontrow@NewYorker In this instance, I think she right on. She wrote about what is on the screen, not what we want to see. -
@Rogervanoo@NewYorker No, she wrote about her preconceptions and prejudices and judged new work through the narrow filter of old movies. -
@tnyfrontrow@NewYorker We disagree. I respect that you are an old school auteur writer. Kael was an enemy of that. -
@Rogervanoo@NewYorker Kael had her auteurs; here the concept is (almost) irrelevant; rather, she was (w/rare exceptions) also anti-modern. -
@Rogervanoo@NewYorker Long story, impossible to trace out here, but that review is part of a pattern. -
@tnyfrontrow@NewYorker Maybe you should write that story. She loved obsessive films eg 1900, the uncut OUATinNY.

@NewYorker@tnyfrontrow OK. But revisionist history shouldn't detract from how truly bad this movie is. Inane, inaudible, incomprehensible.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo
