I would say the genre homages was just as blatant back then. Obsession is practically a remake.

It was quite something.

It really is pathetic. And I'm trying to use that word correctly here.
There must be better way to show off how clever your are. Having to ruin what could be a great experience is just sad.

Reliably entertained and satisfied doesn't sound like a bad thing to me.

I was too old when this came out. I remember I tried to watch it, but failed.

Spot on. Craft is the key word I should probably have included.

If all an editor does is care about things like that, then it's probably a terrible editor. Besides, as has been mentioned, it's not really their job, though they can of course clean things up.

The many rules that have been established over the last hundred and something years, be it the 180 degree rule or what have you, are often broken or not followed and it's obviously not part of some dadaistic experiment, it's just a…

I remember the stuff early on in the film, the first attack. That was some cool stuff, really well staged and shot.

I'm wearing pants.

That is a scary picture.
