I think maybe if the review had referred specifically to a group of people (code-writers who never leave their bedrooms perhaps) then it would be guilty of stereotyping (like the slasher films you refer to) but not much more. The fact though, that Wise has taken the argument to a place 'outside' of the film - rather than sticking with critiquing the Zuckerberg character and other characters in the movie - and moved on to a throw-away critique of a real-life generation is what irked me. <br /><br />Having said that, I am sympathetic to and understanding of, anyone who wants to say 'over-reaction'!Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-53131902476326336432010-10-25T11:02:22.334+01:002010-10-25T11:02:22.334+01:00I know what you mean about that comment but I'...I know what you mean about that comment but I'm guilty of this in my own writing when referring to certain cultural movements. Only recently I was writing about the slasher 'generation' and the culture of teenage promiscuity exploited in the movies. I don't think it's necessarily wrong but lacking clarification. Perhaps reference to a clique would be more specific.Danhttp://www.top10films.co.uknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-26817465914768927192010-10-23T20:17:13.750+01:002010-10-23T20:17:13.750+01:00I shall try to keep myself under control.I shall try to keep myself under control.Sam Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05696602364349746693noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4685634083080876125.post-3982442799066003632010-10-23T14:59:50.316+01:002010-10-23T14:59:50.316+01:00rant on man, rant on! :)rant on man, rant on! :)vic caswell https://www.blogger.com/profile/01218698236837610704noreply@blogger.com
