Of course we were back at first principles, but this
is really the crux of the current matter under
discussion vis a viz Ocean's Eleven, popular Vs
academic, aesthetic judgement and film-philosophy -
but many of us are unable and/or unwilling to fight
our way through and out of dominant and traditional
modes of thought and theory (indeed even an espousal
of the above doesn't guarantee escape from what D&G
call arborescent modes of thought, or Nietzche's Will
to Truth - quasi-guerilla traits of caution, vigilance
and bravery are required, and a certain openness to
originality and laughter)
