John,
Do you actually know anything practical about filmmaking at all? Or is your knowledge actually relegated to mere theory and criticism? Are you just a glorified film nut, who contributes nothing at all to the art form? Or can you back up your words with real (practical)cinematic evidence that you actually know what you write about? Have you ever made anything other than a home movie (or have you even made one of those)??

I am both a director and a film fan, whose (comparitavely) short career far surpasses (I'll bet) anything you've done in the cinematic world. I'm sure with your obviously well educated, yet definitely practically lacking mind, you'll know what they say about film critics.......

"Of course, this assumes you have an attention span that exceeds that of a distracted gnat."

Thinly veiled personal insults don't work with me, in fact it says alot about you.

ps, how ironic that you criticize AuPh for bringing up "Star Trek" as an example when you use "Bill and Ted's Excellent Adventure" ........and yes, I can tell that it's your cringe-worthy attempt at humour, but the mere fact that you know enough about it to use this film as an example speaks volumes about your relevance as a critic.
Why didn't you just present an example of the use of Socratic thought in film? Dead Poets Society comes to mind. Can you think of another one???? Come on, jump on the search engine!!

pps, And, no, I won't give you my real name.
