Adam Curtis is a smug middle-class middlebrow know-nothing brute with a crafty eye for what will sell dependably to smug middle-class middlebrow know-nothing brutes. His film is a moral and intellectual disgrace.

I saw that film some years ago and remember liking it. Was there something I missed?

PS This may seem trivial but it's not: Just as he doesn't even bother his arse to pronounce R.D. Laing's name properly (it's Layng, not Lang, you pillock), so Reich becomes "Ryke" while Curtis lies blithely about him against a background of "quirky" "imaginative" "imagery".

If you're on a high horse, you can miss things, apparently.
PS I am referring to MacC's high horse, not yours, and I'm doing it with a tiny font to make it "quirky".
