haha, you just zinged yourself.

"these other people opinions totally rule yours!!"

i think everyone lost.
when you see talking heads on news programs stumbling over their own reverence over a hollywood production, awkwardly trying to apply some culturally transcendent quality to this self-congratulating display of "how well someone can register terror and fright," it sounds completely ridiculous.

this flood of overly serious discussion simply because it's a sensitive subject is melodramatically retarded, and i feel like this whole thing is a cultural dance rather than anything honest

No, I didn't. Most of these people directly address the concerns brought up here, dismiss them, and have actually seen the fucking movie. Funny that you can't tell the difference between that and, "these other people opinions totally rule yours!!"

oh, then that's all okay then.

i'm not talking about the movie really, i'm talking about what it's doing, and the makers of this crap knew it would play out exactly as cynically as it's doing now.

funny how your comprehension is sacrificed for how BADLY you want to get so indignant.
