I actually wrote a scathing reply to this, complaining that he'd seen a film, not enjoyed it, and rationalised his experience. Big logic fail. Who is he to say that having lots of exposition is not enjoyable? I enjoyed it. Sure, he's obviously got a bit of understanding about a subject and he's put it to good use in manipulating other people's thoughts, but that's just wrong.

Then I realised I was getting upset about a blog entry, and thought: wait, no. This is how the internet works. People post their opinions on blogs, like-minded people (of which I am clearly not one in this case) will enjoy sharing with them. The fellow has opened my mind to another way of interpreting a story, another angle from which I can appreciate the work. And maybe by understanding his opinion I can reflect better on my own enjoyment.

Then I thought a little harder. No, the internet works by ignorant people ranting against each other until they achieve a state of mutual indignation which overrides any basic logical thoughts they might have possibly had about the situation. It was at this point I wished I had not deleted my original post. Sorry internet, I have failed you.
