"So he's been reviewing movies for a few years? So what? ...Your list, such as it is, does not contain a single movie review dated before 1994."

Actually there are several on the list from 91-93. And the list didn't even get all the way through the C's. Hundreds and hundreds of movies. 1991 to 2008 is a long, long time.

"If you want to disagree with the notion that Holden or any critic might be constrained in his remarks by the Stone's special status, that's fine. It was a side issue to my initial post, anyway."

Side issue? I guess that's why the Subject line read "I don't think Mr. Holden"
"...is going to commit occupational suicide by calling it as he REALLY sees it."

That's not a side issue. It's the subject line and first sentence of the post. And it's a slam on the reporter.

And the most incredible thing is that you accuse him of not calling it as he saw it even though the review was very upfront about their looks. You just saw that the quote was from the dreaded NY Times and assumed the worst.

And what was your "expressed opinion" based on? That as a music critic he can't be trusted? Was he so out of step with what other movie reviewers said? Is that what put you on to him? Hmmm, let's check the Tomatometer...

87% positive reviews from the movie review community.

You have a right to hate the Stones current act, be embarrassed by them, whatever. You don't have the right to accuse a reporter of making crap up just because he wasn't as completely dismissive as you were. Not without being challenged anyway...
