Such stupid snark for a perfectly straight forward comment. This is a business, of course things like hit counts on articles are taken into account, TVDW has confirmed that to me btl a couple of times. It's hardly ruining integrity to place one show marginally higher than another on a best of list when the site makes…

No, the easy route is pandering to the morality of the audience.

I'll give you one that's very very likely - putting it at 2 means lots more clicks and hits and this is a business above all.

Expecting the geography of an action scene to be well established isn't an impossible standard, it 's done well all the time in lots of Film and TV, I watched Undisputed 3 the other day, that's a great example, as is the Raid, a little brit movie called Tower Block also does a great job on a super low budget, like I…

Cronenberg's early work is actually some of the most stripped well paced stuff of his career so I don't think he shaped up after criticisms of a gig-for-hire. But anyway a your criticisms around FMJ and The Shining take a heavy bias wrt Kubrick's reputation. I mean if you have a link to an interview where he implies…

I'm trying to be a less cynical person so hope you aren't OK with those things happen to your fellow humans.

No but I hope you at least think otherwise.

"They will self-correct in the long term as is the nature of history,"

Bzzt. Still wrong. I called your rant retarded, not you.
I'd like to know what you consider a good example of well mapped action that isn't something "snobs" reference. But as we've already seen you prefer to sneer rather than explain. Now that's grade school.

Oh I think Cronenberg should certainly be up there with Kubrick when we talk genius level directors, though a number of his films also have pacing issues or vaguely discussed themes too.

Oh good lord.

Haha. Its a great example of good geography in film recognising that isn't being a snob

I don't agree on 2001 its not vague about its transcendant nature, heck the very act structure specifally transcends the basic (though somewhat erroneous) three act western standard. But anyway, your opinions are critically valid but they are very writerly. The way he expresses his story and its themes through…

Yeh but that's also every hipster in existence, we can't blame Corgan for all of them, though I think we should,

If I can't play a game of name the most obscure public intellectual with cultural cachet and roles in Disney films on the AV Club, where the hell can I? :)

Eh, his themes maybe shallow (though Paths of Glory certainly isn't) but his expression of said themes is cinematic genius.

Wallace Shawn is a pretty heinous omission here.

Bzzt. Wrong on every count.

"Without the technology" Exactly, which is why the tech is a good thing.
