These people are idiots.

Okay, but I'd rather watch it at home.

That's the thing. These nerds are exactly nerdy enough to care, but not quite nerdy enough to know shit about the shit they are nerdy/mad about.

Forgive me if I'm misinterpreting your tone, but I think you missed the overrall point here in order to make it about YOUR pet political idea.
"women who work on and produce movies"
"women in academia that write on what makes a good movie"
& let's go ahead an add:
"high profile female movie critics (AKA what Streep is…

"but aren't all critics gathering around a similar conception of what makes a good movie?"

You're right, but you also know what he means.

I've always heard it's gang bangs… Is that true? (Not Joking)

Well… that's what Moore deomonstrated in the comic being discussed… that Nolan openly cribbed from.

As someone who doesn't watch the show, but has been following these reviews as I consider wether it's worth my time, I knew it was Jerome.

Jesus Christ dude.

Ummm… I dunno if you have ever met a hipster, but many of them fucking LOVE Taylor Swift.

This is a review of the new Ryan Adams album and not a "story" being ran. Just sayin'

Oooooooh I see! You agree films are art! You just have a rigid of what art can be and how it should correctly be discussed! I'm so silly!

You didn't read the article.
