I always find pieces like this kind of funny for about a half page or so, then they start to get irritating when you realize how deeply this writer is marinated in second-rate popular culture, like a permanent graduate student at an equally second-rate University where they actually write theses on subjects like this.
Tat's exactly why I don't think about, or right about, movies too much. In the end the writer usually comes off as osequious or disdainful, depending one whetehr he liked the work in question.
