Audiophil...some excellent points!

I am proud to be in the company of someone as articulate and open minded as you, Audiophilander. I don't appreciate Crouching Tiger the way you do, but I do appreciate the points you make, and they are well taken. You hit the nail right one the head!

I agree, anyone who is miopic in their support of "art house" movies will be perpetually angry (because most people "don't get" that genre, and like you, might sleep through them), and I feel such an obsession does indeed stem from a false sense of superiority...from elitism, from bigotry.

If one craves intellectual stimulation from their entertainment, to the point that it must all be "high art", then I suggest that one is not being intellectually stimulated in the rest of their lives...thus their lives are a complete waste of space on this planet!

One should use intellect to contribute to society through producing something. One should not use intellect to impose self isolation by obsessing over such a small genre of cinema (as "art house" films), and then being angry that most people do not agree with them.

This is misguided and contrary. There's nothing honorable about being contrarian for the sake of being so, and then allowing it to breed anger and bigotry as Kelly does.

I once ran across another Kelly who was just as much of an idiot...but that must be a coincidence, right?
