@ Mandy:
Well, I did state that it's my opinion - and never said I was unbiased. I tend to have very strong opinions about most things - which doesn't necessarily mean that I am wannabe intellectual (as you sort of implied) or don't value others' opinions. Au contraire, I respect and value most opinions and my arguments due to tend to be based on logic and rationality. However, that doesn't mean I will be afraid to debate or argue something that I disagree with.
Chapter 1: I didn't expect a documentary and I doubt most people did either. I do like at least some authenticity and not blatant disregard/mockery to the facts. What you answered wasn't my point.
Chapter 2: Again, not my point. Furthermore, no need to go aggressive and throw insults. I've always campaigned for good education and I still believe (call me naive) that a general population can be ingrained with right values and I at least hope for *SOME* movies that would campaign for that. It seems to me that in the last 5 years (can be argued for more or less) there has just been a huge influx of mindless movies and too few movies that actually stimulate your thinking, question something or lead to better morals/ideas, etc. I understand a need for a good action movie and I'd be a damn liar if I'd say I've never enjoyed one - but I still have some expectations from them, so I guess I need to apologize for that.
Chapter 3: Really? Where have I stated that having different opinions is bad? I thought we were actually expressing them and debating...
Chapter 4: Each to his own. I've seen much worse, but I really don't think it was that great. As far as criticizing art - I don't see that movie as a piece of art. I see it as a blatant attempt to exploit consumerism, capitalism and public mindlessness. In general, I really do like and respect and like art, but not everything posed as art actually is art.
That's up for debate, my friend
