I’m a rapper, and I think getting offended is for faggets.

Writers like comment sections to get feedback. And if a writer reads a review that is uncalled for and rude and by no means offers any intelligent advice on how to improve then of course they’re going to get defensive. Naw meen, anton?

Lost and Found: Just because you decided to give your right hand a break from sodomizing yourself to comment on a single typo it doesn’t make you sound witty at all. Perhaps you’re just jealous that someone is successful and talented in their writing. I happen to find you 100% pretentious and retarded. Now go back to watching Donnie Darko and believing you’re too intelligent for anyone to understand.

I think there was an opportunity in the first 2 installments to explore some examples of how love and relationships were portrayed in Hollywood’s storied past. It would’ve provided some good context for the argument you presented with the three movies.

I also don’t think it should’ve been broken into three parts. I was getting into it during the first installment but then I had to wait. It’s a feature article after all, so I’m not afraid of a huge block of text. Instead, I have to review what I read in previous installments to get back into the flow.

I also wonder why Benn gets so defensive when a negative comment appears in this forum. If you really don’t care about how readers are affected by your articles, then why reply? Why is there a comments section to begin with?

Naw meen?

I actually found the ‘typo’ to be rather poignant as there has been a role reversal in gen-y and indie films, where male protagonists now occupy what would be considered a feminine role in the films of yesteryear. Bleeker’s passivity, Tom’s pouty and obsessive attitude towards his relationship after it ended; yes, these are all things that back to the notion of allowing oneself to be vulnerable, but one can’t deny that these are characteristics that, in classical hollywood, WOULD be overtly feminine. No offense to Michael Cera by any means, but in all of his films he does take a more feminized role and since they are all basically the same role, Michael Cera the person is now associated with those characteristics. Little typo, I think you said a lot.

There is nothing wrong with the article.It maybe that Lost and Found does not enjoy the way your voice sounds when describing your observation on the film, but truly thats not your problem. If one person thinks Paper Heart is “the shit” and deserves to be emphasised in a way that does not include negative commentary then they should go to the crappy review websites (that includes sappy love films like, New York, I Love You and the tween crowd from Twilight) and consolidate their opinions there.

First and foremost, you are right about my typo and I have since corrected it. However, I never said this was a review of Paper Heart, nor was it a review on any of the films I discussed. If you had read the intro to, or the two previous installments to this particular article, you would have, of course, noticed that I was conducting a sociological observation on the relationship between these films and an aspect of real life, hence the title, “Love, Indie Comedies, and Generation Y”. Although I appreciate the heads up on my typo, please read up on what it is you’re actually reading. Golly, such wrath due to a simple typo in a 1200 page article? Or did I hit a nerve? We may never know, though we certainly don’t care.
Thanks For Writing!!

The second sentence after “(also play herself, and that’s not a typo)”, On your “review” about Paper Heart became absolutely about “you” and not the movie, you need to keep your focus on the target, this will be my first and last “read” and “post” to you. This is 100% bad writing (and that’s not a typo)
