[Doc Faustus]

Also, there are a lot of reasons to dissent and a lot of kinds of dissent. If you've just had a bottle of Jameson and a cop pulls you over and you punch him in the face, that isn't the same kind of dissent as calling out a crooked politician. There's dissenting to be noticed and to be obnoxious and dissenting because you're trying to make a difference. This guy has simply selected a list of some of the greatest directors of all time (and Ridley Scott) and decided they all suck. And without any kind of legitimate arguments or opinions that seem even remotely informed. To be a film critic who doesn't understand David Lynch movies is absurd. If you don't understand Lynch, how are you supposed to have an informed opinion on Miike or a sensible perspective on John Waters? How can you get anything out of The Seventh Victim if you can't follow Tarantino or you don't get Lynch. This guy has decided to be an arbiter of taste and revealed that he has none. That's a lot different from saying you don't like a movie that somebody else liked. It's like a doctor saying "who the hell knows where the aorta is?"
