But you make it sound awful, and you present everything you say about in that skewed manner which sounds confrontational.
Emotional substance counts, surely?
Style
over substance, I would agree. I love watching the 2009 movie in the same way I love listening to a piece of music; I still don't like the bridge design or the Big-E exterior, but they fit so well with the directing and the cinematography and the music in the same way that the humble trumpet works in an orchestra. The film has a beauty to it that lends substance to the end result.
