Oh wait sorry my bad, copied and pasted from some guy on Letterboxd’s solipsistic interpretation of 70s Cahiers. And then regurgitated by a bunch of 18-21 year olds who need a Leader to Follow. Like that Corey Atad guy is a moron, sure but I’m not seeing meaningful alternatives in the Brain Trust

Clever. I promise you are not nearly as much of an intellectual heavyweight compared to the writers you denigrate as you think. It’s embarrassing to have copied and pasted your view of cinema from 70s Cahiers (without the good writing) and uncritically parade that as the “path forward.” Parrot.

God forbid we don’t see the inherent value of Ford’s proto Sandler comedy with a patronizing liberal worldview on par with a Biden press statement. Your “Radically going against the grain of modern criticism” schtick really falls apart when you uncritically back a horse that stupid.

All better movies than Donovan’s Reef
