In a day and age where so many people are trying to push for some universal ‘objectivity’ in movie critique, it’s nice to hear someone who’s done their homework and can offer a counter argument that isn’t just empty solipsism. Great stuff!
Thanks Andrew.
Fantastic work, Doc. I’m nearly speechless.
Thank you, I appreciate the compliment.
