Sorry Jeff the film is good. You have a bias just the same as everyone else if that wasn't evident throughout this Oscar season.

comment #2

Vaudezilla says ...

Wow. It's like DeeZee...only relevant.

comment #3

Yer says ...

Just wanted to clarify there's nothing wrong with having a bias, just that your readers should be just as weary of your own words as you say they should be of "hipster" critics.

comment #4

matt cousens says ...

My day has been made. Between this, and finding out Jeff's worse than most sports fans, it's settled. I want to shake Yer's hand.

comment #5

TulseLuper says ...

The fact that Wells used Avatar as an excuse to shit on fans of Lord of the Rings already confirmed that he is worse than sports fans sometimes.

comment #6

Geoff says ...

...but Lord of the Rings fans deserve to be shit on.

comment #7

Colin says ...

The only time I've felt ripped off after a film is when I saw An Education. Boy that was hyped so much I didn't like it at all.

comment #8

TulseLuper says ...

Geoff: Why? You can't praise Avatar without acting like a douche bag about another movie just because some people disagree? Hell, I don't even like Lord of the Rings that much, but there was no need to act like a character from Mean Girls about it.

comment #9

Mark says ...

Whether it makes sense or not, I want my button to read, "Friends of Marty For the Criminally Insaaaane."

comment #10

austin111 says ...

Well, at least I'll know never to trust a quote from Marshall Fine in one of Jeff's columns again. Oh, wait...... only if Jeff agrees with him.

Seriously, just a tad arrogant on Jeff's part. I do think Jeff is right about 75%, maybe even 80%, of the time but it's that other 20-25% that sometimes bugs the hell outta me. Hope he's right about Shutter but I'm seeing it for free anyhow.

comment #11

MickTravisMcGee says ...

"Shutter Island" looks like such a piece of crap -- I've been saying that since before it got bumped, since I saw the first preview. I really can't fathom why Scorsese would want to waste his time on something like this.

comment #12

YRG says ...

How does it compare with Bringing Out the Dead? Better? Worse? I have the script on disk somewhere. Maybe it's time I read it.

comment #13

Jeffrey Wells says ...

Sitting in DFW airport, boarding in ten. Trust me when I say that a good percentage of the critics quoted/linked by Yer very much wanted to like "Shutter Island" when they sat down in their screening-room seats. And then they saw it. And then they found a way to sing praises. The invisible subtitle of Yer's links is "Triumph of the Will.". Read David Ehrenstein's review. He shot true and straight.

comment #14

austin111 says ...

Did you mean David Edelstein? Don't see any review by Ehrenstein - a critic who hates the Coens, btw. Enough reason to dismiss him in my world. Don't always agree with Edelstein, either. But it's a free world and open discussion is what it's all about, I hope.

"Trust me when I say that a good percentage of the critics quoted/linked by Yer very much wanted to like "Shutter Island" when they sat down in their screening-room seats. And then they saw it. And then they found a way to sing praises."

I'm gonna go ahead and not trust you on that. I'll take them at their word until you can prove otherwise.

comment #16

Jeffrey Wells says ...

Wells to Punchdrunk: Until I "can prove otherwise"? What do you think this is, mathematics?

You're obviously cut from the same cloth. Determined to stand by Marty through thick and thin.

Yes, Austin111 -- I meant David Edelstein in New York magazine.

comment #17

Glenn Kenny says ...

No, you meant David Edelstein in New York magazine. Try again! Although the idea of David Ehrenstein shooting "straight" may amuse many, including Ehrenstein himself.

Include me among those who are "standing by Marty," although it's not a matter of standing by Marty (and where do you, or anyone who's not Thelma Schoonmaker or Kent Jones or in a similar situation, get off calling him "Marty," anyway?), but of finding a deeper dimension in the film, which you obviously don't think is there. But rather than try to argue that it's not there, you just dismiss the critics who have found that dimension, and accuse them of writing in bad faith. In all seriousness, Jeff...that's fucked up. But outsourcing your heavy lifting to Edelstein is a nice touch, I'm sure he'll appreciate it.

DFW airport? Wow, that's so awesome that they named an airport for David Foster Wallace...oh, wait...

comment #18

Punchdrunk says ...

Well why should I trust you? You should trust me that these critics really liked the film based on its own merits. Trust me.

"You're obviously cut from the same cloth. Determined to stand by Marty through thick and thin."

Sure, if I ignore Gangs of New York, Cape Fear, The King of Comedy, and The Aviator.

comment #19

Jeffrey Wells says ...

Wells to Kenny: You know as well as I do, Glenn, that Scorsese occupies a hallowed place in the hearts of the older, brainier, more thoughtful critics, and that it's usually in keeping with the character of this crowd to cut Marty some slack whenever a new Scorsese film comes out. It's the same deal that Clint gets, and YOU KNOW THIS as well as I do. On top of which I know exactly what's going on with Shutter Island -- there's not some major thematic or stylistic scheme that going over or around my head. It's a forbidding, winds-swept, Boston-accented, beard-stubble, old-musky-asylum mood-fetish thing -- Scorsese laying it on all dark and cloudy and rain-soaked and haunted by the deaths of little ones. It's visually intriguing (while at the same oppressive) and obviously boasting the chops of a gifted filmmaker, but it's just not intriguing or subtle or spooky or sufficiently jacked to warrant serious raves. I know this. But throw in the attaboy-Marty, let's-all-cut-him-as-much-slack-as-we-can factor and you've got what amounts to favoring winds.

comment #20

Glenn Kenny says ...

...and then the plane crashed. Just kidding.

Well, fine then, Jeff; you've nailed a certain tendency in the brainier corners of film criticism. So now you're gonna arbitrarily place yourself above that group and make snide "Friends-of-Marty-button" jokes. But that's not posturing, no, not in the least; that's telling it straight. Sure, if you say so.

I'd lbe delighted to read detailed argument from you about the failings of "Shutter Island." That's all. Not Edelstein's. Yours.

After the trifecta of GANG/AVIATOR/DEPARTED, Scorsese is now suspect. And DiCaprio is no DeNiro who can physically transform for roles.

In conversation with honor Character with no actors for a douche case with regards to a further film even though a lot of people differ? Terrible, POST never perhaps for instance Master in the Happens to be much, nonetheless there were for many who become any nature through Signify Women concerning this.

Good, at the least Cover learn to never confidence any estimate through Marshall Good in a regarding Jeff's posts once more. Oh yea, delay...... if only Rob will abide by your ex.

Certainly, only a great deal arrogant about Jeff's component. POST take into account Rob is actually correct with regards to 75%, perhaps perhaps 80%, of that time period nonetheless it really is which additional 20-25% which oftentimes pesky insects that terrible outta me personally. Expect he has correct with regards to Shutter nonetheless I am witnessing the idea for nothing regardless. tapeworm in dogs
