"It seems to me that to organize on the basis of feeding people or righting social injustice and all that is very valuable.

I think it ultimately leads to fashion and snobbery and I'm against it."

"Shane and McCabe and Mrs. Miller, which aren't cowboy movies."
Really? Apparently if it doesn't have actual cows or Roy Rogers it isn't a cowboy movie, or as normal people call them -- "westerns."
Here's a clue, numbnuts. If it takes place in the American west more than a hundred years ago, and people are riding horses, going to saloons, and having shoot-outs -- it's a cowboy movie.
Preferring reality to Hollywood lies makes someone a "philistine snob asshole". You've got a lot more in common with the Trump voter than you would ever like anyone to have noticed, but I just did.

"you're not automatically rushing to Clint Eastwood's defense this time. "
ReplyDeleteWhat defense? He's an artist AND an asshole. It's not like he's the first one.
"
ReplyDeleteI don't much care for most Hollywood movies. They're crap. "
Which is the equivalent of saying 'I don't care for most novels in English."
Or dissing any other art form.
You're a philistine snob asshole.
