I just thought it was funny that you bolded the word pompous when every time I see you on here you seem to give an overtly elaborate explanation on a movie
That's better than saying that I am the epitome of pomposity, so I'll take it. Look, I really like film and I really like to discuss and debate. Sometimes I'll get hard-headed, I mean we have faults, and I'm probably a little wordy. I admit it. But that's kind of the what the board is for, talk, explain, debate, figure things out. I mean if we all just popped in here and said "Cool film!" and were done with it, how far would that get us? Even if we were all positive, that would get boring.

Like you went to movie college
Film is at least a minor hobby for me, so yeah I'm one to read books on film, watch documentaries, listen to commentaries, etc. I also have a tendency to teach, that's more of a personal thing, and it's hard to turn that off sometimes, so I can apologize if that comes off as pompous.

I guess I'm just venting on the fact that movies are objective and so many people on this board seem to be holier than thou.
I think you meant subjective (it's cool it's late). In my opinion, it's not about people being holier than thou, it's the amount of healthy debate that we do have around here, and the Type A folks who will go to bat for their opinions, no matter how minor. That's a cool thing, even if it can get frustrating for everyone. And we all have our moments. That's my two cents.
The weird thing about film is that it's both personal and communal, that's why people can be forceful in their opinions, and take things personally. But that's a longer discussion.
Best board on TD. Best admins too.
