People like me don't take the question of whether
or not EWS is a great movie seriously because
we've heard dozens of miserable arguments from people
trying so hard to convince themselves that it is
good. None of them are coherent, or consistent,
and most have to do with either a bullshit appeal
to the "brilliance" of Stanley Kubric, or some
similarly bullshit appeal to the movie "not needing
to be about anything," which is sort of your
argument.

All are just plea cops and not reasons.

People don't voice their opinion in here because they
are generally afraid of meeting the same fate as you
are.

Their reasons for liking it are probably dumber than
yours.

This it PTP, after all, and most of the guys don't have
Y chromosomes, and probably want to fuck Tom Cruise.

I don't know you at all, but I do know bullshit when
I see it.

And miss me with that "what is art?" appeal.

Nobody asked for it. Not necessary.

Keep it moving, yo.

Well that point certainly was out of place and unnecessary.
It also has nothing to do with anything.

So there you go.
