"An unfair and inaccurate portrayal of the former president by a known Nixon-hater. "
I laughed myself silly. First of all, I would like to ask if you've seen the film? Because this Disney version of Nixon is about as biting as a toothless puppy and Nixon is portrayed as sympathetically as he could have been, given what a piece of turd the man was. Stone actually seems fascinated by Nixon and begs us to feel sympathy for him because his mommy was tough on him.
"This entry discredits the entire list and shows how big a fool is the reviewer."
I'm afraid you're absolutely right. His argument for including it, is that this is more representative of Indian cinema as a whole than Satyajit Ray. First of all I think if you want to be fair to Bollywood, this is one of the worst films to pick; and if you want to be "fair" to Indian cinema than you should include Ray, Ghatak, Mira Nair, a couple of outsiders view and then a few Bollywood films that actually showcase the possibilities of that cinema (maybe Pyaasa, Sholay and Lagaan).
Thomson is just showcasing his ignorance and his own condescending views of that cinema with this choice.
I think this is actually going to make people leave for sites like mubi, IMDB or List of best for their list making, not make them pay for an account. There is nothing that aggravates me more as a consumer than that kind of carrot and stick policy. Very disappointing.
Well once the guys remove the search limit for free users, the list adding limit for paying users and work out the bugs which were bound to come with the launch of 2.0, I think it will be infinitely better than the original ICM. Of course I understand that it's hard to see that now.
