Anyone who doesn't like this doesn't think...


This is a VERY good film, and has been sadly overlooked by those wanting something else. For what this is, a Hollywood satire, I think it is a very intelligent piece of art.

Eh, there have been better satires interconnected with Hollywood... The Player, for example. Heck, even Wag The Dog from the same director, and that was eleven years prior!

So, I thought about it quite a lot... What you meant is; you think anyone who disagrees with you is wrong... and that's so arrogant, it's not even worth discussing.

Lolz. That's pretty much the textbook definition of a disagreement. Do you honestly think anyone rational would ever say, "I disagree with you, but I think you are right!"

Has it ever occurred to you that anyone could allow for the possibility that THEY might be wrong??!

If not, that's my point exactly... Anybody who truly believes that they will always be right is arrogant, because we all make mistakes. If I'm aware that the insight I'm offering is only an opinion, then that must mean it can always be challenged.

Of course, empasis on the "might." But that is hardly what you wrote originally.
You are wrong to expect people to be mind readers.

I don't think anyone who disagrees with me is 'wrong'... At most I'll try to evaluate the discrepancies in each of our arguments, and chalk any spots where we can't meet in the middle down to a difference of opinion...

I don't expect anyone to be mind readers, but don't criticise my philosophy until you've heard it from me, first!

How can fairly accurate depictions of Hollywood's players and situations be considered satire? This is closer to reality TV.
