Years ago, Cole’s pompous, poorly written bullshit was published in my town’s alt-weekly. I remember very distinctly him giving a positive review to Final Destination 3 because it was a brilliant metaphor for the Iraq War.
Every time I think that his brother’s tard rages are more beloved than Cole’s “best” “work”, I get a little shiver of joy.
You made me curious so I had to look this shit up, here are the smartest film critic's own words on the profound Gesamtkuntzwerk that is Final Destination 3:
"Whether conscious or not on the part of the filmmakers, the gory logic follows America’s understandable desire to rationalize the effects of such physical violence that its invisible soldiers are suffering in Afghanistan and Iraq. The Bush administration’s blatant censorship of media coverage of the wars has instigated a silent obsession for closure in America’s collective subconscious. A consequence of "embedded journalists" and a refusal to allow showing the flag-draped coffins of deceased American soldiers being returned to their home soil has left the country with a natural curiosity made morbid by censorship."
Absolute bufoon. He probably read a Roger Ebert review where he made a sensible comparison of the subject and thought he'd look real cool if he hamfistedly tried to conjecture a war metaphor from a shit film
