Yeah, but if someone were to say that it would most likely be because they mean to say that they prefer tarantino to godard.
anyway, what is everyone talking about some halcyon era of criticism where all and sundry had the faculties and learning to offer insight into whatever cultural artifact they set eyes upon?
