I loved the movie American Sniper. However, I have seen conservatives write about movies without seeing it too. We do that all the time. lol. I don’t think this is anything new.

We saw it yesterday and it was one of the best I have ever seen. Clint Eastwood is going to make libs heads spin like that in the Exorcist.

One difference is if the movie critic or writer is getting paid a salary - by all ethical standards, he should see the movie. It’s different on threads like this.

Got an example?

True to some extent. I didn't see "American Beauty" after reading a number of reviews and synopses by various people. But I also did not then write a movie "review" of a flick I hadn't seen. I did make comments on this forum that from what I'd heard and read about the movie, it didn't seem worth my time to view.

I also haven't read all of "Mein Kampf." But I guess from the little I've read of it and the comments I've read from other people who have, I feel justified in making some conclusions about the piece.

I don't begrudge some leftist saying he doesn't like what it, the film, represents. But if I am supposedly doing an actual film or book review, I should be expected to have seen the film or read the book.
