Okay, you're a dumb fuck on the grounds that you fundamentally misinterpreted what I said, and continue to rant at me and make completely off-base points and entirely unwarranted judgements about me personally because I'm arguing with your precious amateur of a critic.

Oh so you're a fan of this D'Angelo guy.  No wonder you're being such a troll on this comment board.

The fuck are you talking about?  I'm talking about the abstract, ideal goal of any film critic.  Because the AV Club, while a part of the Onion, consists of a bunch of professional critics critiquing pop-culture artifacts.  I'm not naive enough to think everything they say can or will teach me anything meaningful…

I would argue firstly that Rose does not intend the defendant to be guilty.  You've seen other commenters' arguments to that effect, so I won't reiterate them.  But more importantly I'm trained as a student of critical lit theory not to care what the author intends, because the work itself might end up doing something…

You can be as secure as you want to be, but ultimately you look sort of like a moron if it looks like you can't back up your arguments.  I mean if you're going to disagree with someone, have the courtesy to explain why at least.
