So for instance I don’t like most SRK films over the past decade or more. Once again this becomes obvious when there’s no consistency.
But when entire arguments are framed only based on one’s likes and dislikes these are essentially partisan positions only meant to buttress one star or the other or attack another one. And to repeat a point ad nauseam my issue is never with the fan or even necessarily the fanatic! That is one’s will and wish.
Because the evidence assuredly suggests otherwise. In any case when one suggests one is being fair when others aren’t (referring to your comment) one is either being completely cynical or one lacks completely introspection. On the other hand I can watch pretty bad thrillers! But I can ‘see’ that a certain rom-com is better than a certain thriller even if I might ultimately prefer watching the latter. I have very little taste for rom-coms if at all. A lot of times people don’t like certain genres which is fine but they then defend the mediocre film of a genre they like to superior ones in genres they don’t. Leaving aside your like/dislike issues there is a larger point to be made here as well. If one likes all kinds of genres only when one’s favorite star is involved but otherwise has an extraordinarily high bar or alternatively if one starts suggesting that most Aamir films are overrated and are much like most SRK films. The problem as always is one of consistency. It’s all in this phrase isn’t it?! You like the rare Aamir film, when it’s SRK however you even like Ra One which you then prefer to Inception!
