Wow. Mr. Anonymous sure is snotty! I'm not sure he has an argument in there. I am sure he is too cowardly to own up to his own claims and opinions.
But let's explore his points (or, fill in points where anonymous supplies only blustery indignation)
Dr. Striphas (tm). You should be ashamed of yourself for "writing on the Internet" without doing full and exhaustive research about a particular subject.
Don't you know that this medium of the "Web" and the particular platform you use, a "Weblog" is reserved only for the most carefully vetted and delicately expressed morsels of wisdom and poetry.
You are a disgrace to the legacy of Matthew Arnold, sir! After all, if Arnold were around today he would use this Google-owned service known as "Blogger."
Meanwhile, I suggest that we all cease and desist using the term "filmosophy." It's clearly such a valuable and almost sacred element of communication that we are not worthy of deploying it with sufficient care.
Plus, it's a really stupid-sounding word.
Mr. Anonymous has already taken you to task for teaching the good children of Indiana that Aristotle is a donkey. So I need not pile on. But do check out the Wikipedia entry on Aristotle next time you do your "Aristotle-is-a-donkey" lecture. You will discover there that Aristotle was in fact a man. And that as a man, Aristotle wrote that "man is a political animal." And then check out the Wikipedia entry on "donkey." You will find out that a donkey is an animal. But before you make that logical leap that takes you -- by the transitive property -- to that dangerous conclusion that all political animals are animals and all donkeys are animals therefore all political animals are donkeys ... and ... wait for it ... therefore, all men are donkeys ... and Aristotle is a man ... therefore ARISTOTLE IS A DONKEY ...
Wait. Where was I?
Oh yeah. What do you have against Starbucks, buddy?
