Mister Underhill has been trapped in the Barrow!
Good to see you back, Sauce, and great points too. I think we'd all agree that unqualified criticism, as well as unqualified praise, are the least interesting sort of posts. I think we've done fairly well in this regard so far. I haven't seen much criticism just for the sake of criticism, or criticism unaccompanied by some explanation of why the (perceived) problem bothered the poster.

Maybe it's just an inherent difficulty that criticism will tend to be more expansive than praise: to paraphrase the professor, things that are good about the films are soon told about, and not much to listen to; while things that are annoying, upsetting, and even maddening may make a good post, and take a deal of telling anyway.

Anyway, I'll return to this thread when I actually have something to say about the sequence it covers.
