>It's the fact that Mr. Lee made a list of must see movies, was critcized, then went back and changed the list based on the criticism. He added to the list; no films were removed. >So which is the list of must see movies? What movies were "must-see" pre-criticism, that were no longer worthy post-criticism? The current list. And none. >PC run amok. I can't write a sensible comment to this.

>I can't write a sensible comment to this. Just as I can't write a sensible comment responding to someone-- just one guy remember -- making a "top list" of movies, then having to update it based on a silly criticism. He picked his top movies. Do you think he deliberately left films by female directors off his list? Then who cares. >The current list Thankfully we have the PC crowd around to tell Mr. Lee what movies are his actual top films.

Or you know, we just infer that his most recent statement of his opinion is most likely to be representative?

    That's how the PC thing operates. "You don't have to revise your opinion. We'll keep piling on the guilt and doubletalk meantime. I'm sure you'll make the right decision, because you're not a bad person right?"

      And equally, the opposition says "He changed his stated opinion[0] after a social justice flavoured criticism? There's absolutely no way he could agree with them, so he must be lying out of fear!" I prefer to assume people are telling the truth about their opinions until shown evidence to the contrary. [0] EDIT: Which, incidentally, was never asserted to be complete, and indeed solicited suggestions for improvement.
