The very best movies inspire spirited debate and conversation among people who love movies, so attacking people for not having the same view of a film or filmmaker as you do is uh, pretty dumb.
One of my favorite conversations ever was when my husband and I got out of BEFORE MIDNIGHT and ran into another filmmaker couple who just saw it. We argued for two hours. It was a delight. No one got called a cunt. Stop confusing preferences with religion.
(FTR the two men were convinced Hawke was the real jackass, the two women were convinced Delphie was)
But when there’s massive Twitter pile-ons by “fans” over someone’s VERY innocuous movie opinion, it’s suppressing the conversation that is a great part of the art. It’s *damaging* to the film world. I don’t think we should do it, and I don’t think we should be cool with it.
