Thanks for sharing. Definitely some food for thought here. Generally speaking, I believe that a critic should define himself through his writing; ideally, everything you need to know about him is right there on the page.

I can't say that I would have the nerve to ask that question, but it's definitely in keeping with the nature of the movie they…
