That's fair. And I totally get that some well-known filmmakers don't get discussed much among certain groups. (I got a film studies degree without anyone ever saying the words "Ingmar Bergman" to me.) My issue is with the weirdly confrontational attitude that nowadays often accompanies declarations of ignorance. It's this very strange (and imo ruinous) modern tendency to assume that if one hasn't heard of something/someone, then it must somehow be suspect/not good. I get it every year when I share my Top 10/20 list. A bunch of people saying "Never heard of these!" as if that's the end of the discussion. Lists/recommendations should help us discover things, not confirm our biases or congratulate us for our taste.

One of the single most diabolical things I’ve ever witnessed in a cinema and I watched MEN IN BLACK INTERNATIONAL

The Mikey Madison fist pump at the end of THE SOCIAL RECKONING has to be one of the most embarrassing moments in film this year.

God it actually really fucking pisses me off that it looks like Labour might genuinely be throwing what should have been one of the easiest elections of all time.

The pedophile protection party’s president is laundering right-wing conspiracy theories through the most corrupt DOJ in American history. Whenever the news turns bad, this creep reaches for one name: mine. So let’s make it crystal clear. My name has always been Ilhan Omar. Maybe you should focus on what your VP’s real name is.
