i do not understand how someone can write an article like this without seeing even one frame of the movie.

You don't have to put your hand in a pot of boiling water in order to "know" that it will burn you.

it's your job, suck it up and see the movie. or don't write about it!

Just because it is your job doesn't mean you cannot draw the line as to what you will and wont do and speaking out about something you think is wrong. He may get fired, but, oh well, that is the price you pay sometimes.

and Casino come to mind right off the bat.

No pun intended? ;)

a pot of boiling water leaves no doubt in anyone's mind and is not open for interpretation. it is a fact. there is no question it will burn you. it's absolute.

a movie, any movie, will strike different people in different ways. you need to see it, test it, experience it before you can make your own conclusion.

and yes, the pun was intended. even thinking about that scene makes me quiver.
