It most certainly is the shallow end of film comment but the shallow end
is always safer.
It's also far more fun as well until you grow up. Alas, I can't claim to
have grown up enough to swim to the deep end myself but I try to swim
farther and farther every so often.

"Judgment prevents the emergence of any new mode of existence. . . .
Herein, perhaps, lies the secret: to bring into existence and not to
judge. If it is so disgusting to judge, it is not because everything is
of equal value, but on the contrary because what has value can be made
or distinguished only by defying judgment" (Gilles Deleuze, "To Have
Done with Judgment," Critical and Clinical: 135).
Note: I am far less knowledgeable about Deleuze than the average Salon
reader
but found this quote laying around. I'm still not sure how far I'm willing
to
agree with it but found it at the very least a little bit enlightening...
