“…It’s a grotesque parody to suggest that viewers who enjoy movies that
aren’t mainstream Hollywood productions do so in some second-order,
snobbish, or unemotional way. It’s as silly as claiming that classical
music and opera are less emotional than pop music, and it’s a claim
that, like O’Hehir’s comment about cocktail-party chatter, is mainly a
sign of not getting out enough, of not knowing people who can tell him
otherwise.”
