In the same bin
I was having a conversation with my attorney the other day regarding cinema (specifically violent cinema) which left me slightly perplexed. Would you put https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/a-clockwork-orange-1972 (1971) in the same bin as https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Devil's_Rejects (2005)? From my POV, that’s like putting Rosenquist’s https://www.jamesrosenquiststudio.com/page/f-111 in the same category with an ambulance chaser a personal injury lawyer billboard.
Side-note: the linked Roger Ebert review of Kubrick’s A Clockwork Orange amuses me as I would have guessed that of all people, the co-author of the screenplay of https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_Valley_of_the_Dolls, he would have at minimum understood if not outright championed Kubrick’s 1971 release. The other amusing thing about his review is that I would have written a very similar critique instead for movies like, say, The Devil’s Rejects!
