83. Reality based?
You should start a weekly column of reviews of books you have not read, bands you have not heard, and films you have not seen, and call it 'Reality Based Reviews'. It could be a hit!

You said to me. "You prefer fantasy. Good for you." What would you take from that? Do you see that as respectful? Again, you have not seen the film. I'd say I prefer cinema to boxing. You say I prefer fantasy to reality. Then you add "Good for you." I don't get it. You prefer boxing to cinema. -Or I could say "You prefer bloody young men. Good for you." Do not characterize if you do not wish to be characterized. Does that make it clear to you?
I just think it is ignorant to hold opinions about things you have not seen or read or experienced.
