Here's a couple of comments belittling the average man -
Because we know non-cubicle workers don't have a narrow view of certain subjects. Seth could be a construction worker or an airline pilot. Even if he's a cubicle worker, so what. At least he isn't in a perpetual state of bitterness and knows how to wear a suit that doesn't call for a wedding, funeral or red carpet event.
This one made me clench my jaw -
It's a "serious" question all-right. A seriously condescending dick bag question.
Now it's my turn.
Wow, Sean, you are passionate about film and how great film/cinema makes the world so much better (even though a good majority of so-called "real" film has the depth of a freshman college student writing a philosophy 101 or an Intro to Sociology paper). How many foreign languages do you speak? What's your understanding of banking, financing and economics? Any idea how a country should be run? How about your understanding, if you're American, of how the Senate works? No? None. Well, I guess you can talk how that one Woody Allen film totally explains relationships and that one Bella Tar movie -er- film gave the world a deeper insight to nihilism.
Time? Where did the poster get the time to write a comment on subject he has no clue about and has no investment in?
It's called "free time," Sean, after that daytime job, cooking dinner, helping the kids get into the pajamas, sex with the wife and writing chapter three for that novel in the "man cave." You know, the downtime before one goes to sleep or, if we go by the time stamp, in the wee hours of the morning at 3: 10AM after all said things were done
The fact is, ksb36's comment wasn't even remotely troll-like. Heck, he even mentioned how movies reach a wider audience besides the traditional studio distribution via internet and television. All that is true and accurate. The man even mentions the reality of many American families that going to the movies is a way of entertainment. He then reasonable admits that the best directors will find their audience - whether the movie is released straight-to-DVD, VOD or some other non-theatrical release.
Why is Sean so irritated by this? I'll take a swing. Sean is irritated because he doesn't agree with anything ksb36 has said (as someone who has observed how the movie industry works, both domestically and in Europe, I can't necessarily disagree with ksb36), yet never says what was the generalizations that someone with "no interest in film" would commit.
Once you meet a Sean you have met every other cinemaphile, Soderbourgh and "serious" actor.
