Reasons why this bloke is a dick

1. Citizen kane is now outdated. it was an accomplishment at the time because, as he said, OW was only 25 at the time and it was a hell of a feat. however, life-span opus flicks have been done numerous times since, and done better.

2. The Godfather flicks are NOT the most quoted movies of all time. That falls to the SW original trilogy, Indiana Jones, and to a lesser extent, Bill & ted, Waynes World (1, not 2) and the Terminator (ditto)

3. Un Chien Andelou is a title thrown up by Movie School quarks like this bloke to sound knowledgeable and chic. If you want to talk about groundbreaking early cinema, talk about De La Terre a La Lune and Metropolis, not some 15 minutes home movie that makes no sense whatsoever

4. he made a 3 minute movie stating how much more he knew about movies than anyone that might happen to watch the video. That shouldn't even be attempted until you've banked $1million, until then you're just being pretentious

He's spot on about Bay though

Film School/ Media Studies/ Film Appreciation - aren't you just learning to be a film snob and perpetuating the outmoded ideas of a pack of 1950s French film critics?

And when Santa squeezes his fat white ass down that chimney tonight,
He's gonna find the hap-hap-happiest bunch of assholes
This side of the nuthouse.

A thoroughly Happy Christmas to you and your loved ones,
And the sincerest wishes for a Happy New Year.
