Eraserhead was David Lynch, not Kubrick.
I know bad writing when I read it. The fact that I write does not confer on my opinion some special gravitas. At least, it should not. Any person who enjoys reading should be able to criticize shitty writing.
I don't know how to paint, and I am not interested in learning. But, I know bad painting when I see it, just as I know a good one when I see it. I am qualified to say so on the basis that appreciation for anything is a completely subjective thing, so if a work of art is good to me, who are you to tell me I don't know what's good?
