Huh?

I'm not sure in what spirit you wrote this. But if these are assumptions about me, let me elaborate: the aformentioned movies were designed, not necessarily conspiratorilly, but I can imagine some wide-eyed discussions had by their producers, to draw the middle-brow movie goer who holds exactly the kind of dumb notions of sophistication characterized (or caricatured or on display) in your post above. They're for the cultural equivalent of Sunday Christians: they're people who periodically go through the motions as a matter of almost studied dilligence rather than out of genuine interest or desire. "There, I went to church: I am pious" ; "There, I went to this much-lauded movie; and agreeing that it is good, I have participated, self-affrimingly, in a cultural moment that I expect to be reaffirmed (I will tune in and watch with much anticipation) at the upcoming academy awards."

I don't happen to like baseball, but I like basketball. Why go to a basketball game when you can go to a museum? Well, you could visit every major museum in New York City for the price of a nosebleader seat at the Garden. And the Knicks suck.
