Despite my better judgment and your slur of ad hominem attacks against

What in the world could this possibly mean?
What is a "truth-criteria"? How could we suspend it? What good would
that do? I'm lost.
Why do you think that we "suspend veracity in front of the silver
screen"? Do you hold some crude illusionist theory of fictional
engagement?
What does it mean to "go continental"? Does this require
hallucinogens? I really have no idea of what you are talking about.
Do you care to explain any of this jargon?
