Before you call these master crafstmen pretentious, try making a feature film.
What's that? You can't? You don't have the skill or talent or perseverance?
Yeah, that's what I thought.
The saying used to be "those who cannot, teach" but it seems far more appropriate to say "those who cannot, criticize." Becasue a critic is someone too lazy or too untalented or simply too fearful to actually create that which they take such delight in destroying.
I come here to share my love for films. I think it's time to leave for good.

No way, mister. You do that and I m catching the next flight to Hollywood to dive directly on you, wherever you are. :D
Not like any of those I listed haven't made any superb films I don't appreciate. Heck, Spielberg's Jaws & Schindler's List are two of my most faves of all-time. I love most of em and their works, whether they are pretentious or not.
