True, life would be boring if we did.
As long as someone clearly mentions that it is his or her personal opinion (as SilverSurfer did) and not a valid judgement based on evidence, even a tag like "utter s**t" attributed to a real masterpiece like
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre has to be accepted.
Still, like Rik, I find it hard to understand.
This is what I wrote when Tobe Hooper passed away earlier this year... I still think it shows nicely why I think that
The Texas Chainsaw Massacre is a fine film and rightfully part of the permanent collection of New York City's Museum of Modern Art.

My favourite film of Mr Hooper will always be The Texas Chainsaw Massacre 2, though. A sick little film full of grotesque scenes. Tobe Hooper |
