That's funny about "insider" reviews and comments. I've been part of discussions about some gay themed films with the same sort of back and forth. And sitting with my uncle during a movie or play (he's an actor) there's the occasional comment - "Stepped on that line", "Missed his cue", etc. Kind of fun.
