That article is interesting! (And makes me want to rewatch Babette's Feast, which I loved when I watched for a film class in college.) It's definitely more judgemental in tone, so I kind of get why the fans weren't happy, though I don't actually disagree with it.

My favorite comedian, Chris Fleming has a whole bit about how the most toxic person you know is also the one who overidentifies with a small mouse living under a toadstool (or something) and it's very funny.
