Finally, there is justice and propriety in this world --

Midway through their obligatory Spidey summer movie critique --

I can't say anything bad about the author of this article, because I have never met him. Let's just say I hope to keep it that way. I didn't truely dislike him until he claimed that comic books weren't an art form.

This is a quote from the man's article...

"No matter how effectively the (comic book) movie does what it has to do, it can't transcend the essential stupidity of its central conceit."

I can't help but think that sentence should be turned around to describe the author of the article himself.

For instance:

"No matter how he does what he has to do, he can't transcend the essential stupidity of his own central conceit."

I didn't make any conclusions about the guy's character from the article, but he clearly is uninformed and unsympathetic to what he is writing about, and was certainly a bad choice to write this review.
