I don't think these guys think he is just a troll, (I know Germain Lussier doesn't): http://www.slashfilm.com/film-welcomes-a-new-blogger-germain-lussier/ Slashfilms also hosted a discussion with White regarding Inception and I think the video of it may be somewhere on their site, although I haven't looked for it yet.

What if he isn't a troll, but genuinely does see things in a completely (and apparently uniformly) different way? Trolls know they're being contrary and get off on frustrating others. If White isn't being contrary, but rather being true to his own unique value system, and it just apparently happens to be contrary to everyone else, is he still a troll?

Among most film buffs he's regarded as something of a troll. At least one of my colleagues refuses to discuss him, even to mock him, because of the way he once ended a film review by suggesting that the director's mother should have had an abortion. That is he is portrayed popularly as the anti - Ebert only helps him in my book. ; - ) > Ebert actually came to his defense, at first. It was only after Ebert's readers pointed out to him that White consistently loves films that everybody hates and hates films that everybody loves that Ebert himself concluded that White must be a troll. -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot -- dadl-ot mailing list http://mail.thehood.us/mailman/listinfo/dadl-ot_thehood.us http://news.gmane.org/gmane.music.dadl.ot
