Now, Alien - there's a film worth wanking him off for.

There's one person who seems to hate Quntin Tarantino films, almost regularly there would be inarticulate posts with the usual non-criticisms 'plagiarist' (its not when you acknowledge your sources, by that token Martin Scorsese is a plagiarist, as is Dario Argento, George Lucas...) ect ect... and I just thought WHY?

Why bother dwelling on something you hate?

I much prefer the posts where people focus on things they enjoy. The trouble is trying to say nice about stuff is a lot more difficult as it requires you to do a lot more explaining. Slagging stuff off online is easy as the fallback will always be cheap insults. This is why any critic who makes a living hating everything lloses respect in my eyes. The real critics can put a film down expertly without the need for insults, and can inspire passion for things they love.

I used to be like that but I decided to focus on things I like. Instead of bitching about Christopher Nolan films, I opted to rave about films that my friends don't know about. I think people are more inclined to watch those films when you don't use them to slag off the films they like.

That said, I still make the odd joke about Nolan's style

don't get me wrong, reasoned arguments against films or film-makers are cool.
