What a pretentious doofus, this yutz Thompson is. Hoping, I think, to make a name for himself by using the Pauline Kael tactic of a vividly expressed, strong opinion, slyly attributed to the reader and seemingly reinforced by the writer.
That old Kael bitch used to write things like “When Bill Smith appears on screen, your backbone tenses as if you want to escape from the movie house” and the feeling of sneering superiority she engendered this way helped her seem like a strong leader of opinion.
This man is a reviewer. Can’t do anything unless someone else has done better work first, in an area where he has no skills. Critic!
