I agree that it creates an us vs. them (but doesn't all categorization create that to some extent?) but I guess in my view that's not what the worst part of it is. I have no idea, none, what anyone who is not part of the hegemonic culture, or for that matter people who just don't like the freaking movie, is supposed to do when they can't voice criticism without it being thrown back in their face as unwarranted or caused by their own problems/insecurities, which is what I mean by their being no room for dissent in certain movies.

I agree that criticism should ideally not be built around us vs. them language. It should be like David Broder, completely calm and level-headed. But I'm responding emotionally here.
