I have enjoyed all of Abrams' features as a director, and consider his association with lens flare mostly inconsequential. but it can be misused. and he's done it.

Godard used hand-held cams in Breathless, but that doesn't mean we have to like all shakycam shit that has come out since. and just because lens flare was awesome in Blade Runner doesn't mean Abrams couldn't reign his use in.

and to me, Pegg's response reads less like an attack on PTP and more like something a PTP critic might say.
