Nor do I see her making particularly offensive comments about Americans or American films.

Mainstream blockbusters are not for everyone but to deride those that are into alternative films reflects more on your view of the world than hers.
Who said I derided anyone for preferring indie / "alternative" (never heard of that genre) films? I called someone out for criticizing American films and the American film-going public. You don't see the offensive comments? Is that supposed to be some sort of joke? Try reading posts #3, #49, #52, and #55.

I never mentioned any films I've seen, so how you can comment on my worldview is absurd.

Frankly, I haven't the time or the inclination to watch every film on gadjo's list, but the fact remains that regardless of the plot / themes of those films, SHE mentioned the sexual element, so she clearly privileged that aspect of those films. I'd say that qualifies as having a penchant for "soft porn."

And for all that anathema directed at American films, Woody Allen is an American and the film gadjo mentioned is set in America, unless Woody fooled us and set it in San Francisco, Romania.
