"Maybe he has been in contact w/ too many British Gen X folk."
"Film critics also assume that movies that no sees actually count as a popular phenomenon."
Methinks you both have unwittingly hit on the real meaning of this article:
1) Gen X Brit males are almost universally whiny in disposition, for good reason. They knew Maggie, and Maggie LED Britain back to world leadership instead of just being an EU speed bump off the coast. Now all they have is a dorky git named Blair--a far better name for a girl than a PM. You'd be bitter, too.
2) Nobody watched these movies. To say Gen X has anything to do with them is like judging American youth by Cop Rock.
3) Columnists are often paid by the word, and editors aren't paid to check columnists' facts.
