i do, i swear, and i don't mean it in a confrontational way. it's adolescent, hence the fun, and it's not supreme cinema art.
they fly was a million tons more psychological and a great horror movie the the psychological-not-gory sense of horror-- though i'm no horror movie expert, i loved the fly.

Fair enough. I'm not that big a fan of The Fly but it still seems a bit disingenuous of him to sniff at a superhero movie when the premise of The Fly isn't that far removed from that of Spiderman.
I'd be the first to say that DKR isn't God's gift to cinema but then neither is anything that Cronenberg's ever done, and overall I'd say that Nolan is a far better director (while Cronenberg just seems to read more interesting books).
