You were the one who got (angry? you can put the appropriate word,last time I used an incorrect word and you pulled out webster's dictionary on me) over what I said and made it into a discussion. I then was just trying to defend my comment, but fair enough, this is something we won't see eye to eye on. Also I believe you got the point that I wasn't just referring to money, but just in case, I was referring to external factors not related to the film in general.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-20386344810443011792012-08-01T13:00:57.492+05:302012-08-01T13:00:57.492+05:30Dear "Anonymous",

By touchy I mean...Ah, touchy, angry, close enough. By touchy I meant easily offended/angered or whatever the correct adjective is. You seem rather hell bent on blowing this out of proportion. Questioning your integrity is a bit extreme for what I am saying. If I am a food critic and I dislike eggplant, it's natural for me to have preconceived notions about a dish with eggplant in it before tasting it. It doesn't rule out the possibility that I can be pleasantly surprised. (Probably not the best analogy but you get the point). You are reacting as though I am accusing you of taking money for reviews or serving personal agendas through your reviews. Those things would be questioning your integrity. What I am saying is more of a personal observation. If you see that as something questioning your integrity then that is something I have no control over.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-51545365940423029782012-07-31T11:22:18.000+05:302012-07-31T11:22:18.000+05:30Dear "Anonymous",
Firstly, I can’t mak...Dear "Anonymous", <br /><br />Firstly, I can’t make out whether you are commenting on my reviews of Bol Bachchan and Rowdy Rathore simply by looking at the ratings or by actually reading the reviews. Second, what you have described as your expectations from my reviews are actually an indicator that you have noticed that I'm consistent with my views. That is how any critic should be – so thank you for that. The only problem is that I've been consistent AFTER watching films whereas you assume that my views are already formed BEFORE I enter the theatre. To my mind it's highly unacceptable (perhaps even dishonest) for any critic to do that, whether at a conscious or at a sub-conscious level ... “Touchy” suggests a refusal to listen to a differing opinion, which is clearly not the case since I've not responded to those who have written to me here telling me they disagree with my review of this film. I'm afraid I’m not being merely “touchy” as you might like to believe, I'm actually rather angry at how casually you question a person’s integrity. <br /><br />Rgds, AnnaAnna MM Vetticadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672605004762355462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-23263415786229399582012-07-31T01:59:19.195+05:302012-07-31T01:59:19.195+05:30True mam!too much of anything is bad.....my 230 bu...True mam!too much of anything is bad.....my 230 bucks in waste!

Anyway as a reader I don't interpret 2.75 out of 5 and the corresponding reviews enjoying, to me that's more like thinking it's not too bad, but that's just me. I guess I don't understand your rubric. But based on the promos of those two films (BB and RR) i genuinely felt you wouldn't despise them because it looked like the fun would outweigh the level of offensiveness enough for you to think they weren't that bad. As a little game I like to play with myself, I like to predict what certain critics who I read will think of the film based on the promos and often there is a pattern. Obviously it's not 100% right 100% of the time, but because there is a pattern I can't help but think that there is some preconceived notions at a subconscious level just by virtue of human nature. As for part 1, I don't remember the promos for that one (i was like 14 when the film released) so I can't explain that one.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-54288398683995530612012-07-28T23:34:35.781+05:302012-07-28T23:34:35.781+05:30I think the film is not made for critics or anyone...I think the film is not made for critics or anyone who likes intellectual cinema.The film is made for guys going in big groups.I went with my friends and had a hell of a time with them.For me it was a very good stress buster if you switch off your brains and at least better than rowdy rathore and bol bachchan.gokunoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-57323507025793128492012-07-28T20:55:34.511+05:302012-07-28T20:55:34.511+05:30Dear "Anonymous",

If you think you know what I thought about Kya Super Kool Hain Hum "at a subconscious level" before watching it, you may as well also tell me why I thought so despite having enjoyed the film's predecessor Kya Kool Hain Hum. As a critic I don't go to watch any film with pre-conceived notions. It's a policy I hold very dear which is why I'm not willing to treat your speculative comments as lightly as you make them. <br /><br />Rgds, AnnaAnna MM Vetticadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08672605004762355462noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3555887833232019435.post-89214680090078649242012-07-28T17:24:29.018+05:302012-07-28T17:24:29.018+05:30I gotta say, based on your other reviews I've ...I gotta say, based on your other reviews I've read I say this panning from a mile away.
