    I heard they are already planning a sequel to Linsanity :eek: They are going to have Steve Novak play the role of Lin.

    "Here's some and some more negative critique" are from the same writer, from the one article you just posted.

    The writer spent a good amount of time dissecting the film. It's a good read.

    In Lisanity part 2, Lin will finally become a 'Steve Novak' with decent defense.

    They mentioned at the end of the video that the movie (might have) already been picked up!

    Critique, not review. The negative critique is part of the overall positive review.

    Just posting some negative opinions to give a more balanced view of the film. It's good to temper expectations ;)

    The coaches are against it

    Players must follow the game plan set by the coach. The stupid coaches ask every player to outrun other teams while they are on the road. It is just that simple.

    Gee, I can do a better job than these simple mind fello.:rolleyes:

    Don't be mad. :)

    ONE difference in thinking is:

    I brand you as "good", give you the benefit of the doubt, until you prove me wrong. It's like you are innocent until proven guilty. In five years (just for illustration purpose), I will make my final decision whether you are bad, good, or excellent.
    vs.
    You have to do well consistently for 5 years before I brand you as good.

    Sounds like you adhere to American jurisprudence and not British jurisprudence. The presumption of innocence (innocent until proven guilty) is one of the key differences separating the two nations from each other, lol.

    Your choice of words made it sound like a negative review.

    Critique
    1 review of somebody's work.
    2 See criticism.

    You pointed out parts that in my opinion were fair criticisms and labeled it negative critique.

    It's like me saying "I loved the pizza but didn't like the crust". Then only quoting "didn't like the crust" a negative critique.

    You can post a quote and link you find and let us judge either way. I did that a couple of times earlier and didn't paint it with my opinion one way or another.

    I took the liberty of embedding the video from your link for you.

    I actually find it kind of fun and interesting to look up the handles of the guys being quoted. Fascinating collection. Some are average joes, and you have the professional film critics, but then you have the most eclectic mix of people who attended the sundance screening. There was someone who said all children should see it, and it turned out the comment came from someone involved with another documentary film about public schools (not sure if that film was being screened there too). And then there was that comic book writer who worked on X-men and other comics. There's the co-founder of Kickstart. And there's were the media people, not just the national media guys, but also a local news station guy or something who went to the screening. There was even someone in charge of running some industry distribution company.
