To clarify, my comment specifically is about superficial movie reviews, critiques, & recommendations.
Criticism within the context of a movie discussion, presuming everyone involved actually engaged with the movie, is part of healthy dialogue & idea exchange.
I’ve had my point of view changed plenty within such discussions, and brain dead people do not usually bother to participate in such forums so it’s a win-win.

Yeah, nobody is going to stop me from shitting all over Ayn Rand novels and film adaptations.
Not should anyone, honestly. They are a travesty.
