This is his remarks regarding Christian Nolan's atrocious The Dark Knight (couldn't it be The White Knight, or the title would have been then racist?):
“The Dark Knight” is not a simplistic tale of good and evil. Batman is good, yes, The Joker is evil, yes. But Batman poses a more complex puzzle than usual: The citizens of Gotham City are in an uproar, calling him a vigilante and blaming him for the deaths of policemen and others. And the Joker is more than a villain. He’s a Mephistopheles whose actions are fiendishly designed to pose moral dilemmas for his enemies"

If having to chose between a lawyer -and we all know how lawyers are -and your beloved one pose moral dilemmas, then only Nolan and maybe God knows the difference between good and evil. Head or tails?
Regarding video games, he commented this: "the nature of the medium prevents it from moving beyond craftsmanship to the stature of art".
"The nature of art has been described by philosopher Richard Wollheim as "one of the most elusive of the traditional problems of human culture".[14] Art has been defined as a vehicle for the expression or communication of emotions and ideas, a means for exploring and appreciating formal elements for their own sake, and as mimesis or representation...
....
Leo Tolstoy identified art as a use of indirect means to communicate from one person to another"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art
"Ebert responded that the charge of prejudice was merely a euphemism for disagreement, that merely being moved by an experience does not denote it as artistic, and that critics are also consumers"
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Ebert
Like it was hard to differentiate between the "standard" definition and what was all about when some used the explanation. He then confessed that he did not play video games.
Or how about the professional gaming, where not only skills matters, but it is ultimately the human expression, personality, perfection and imperfection at work?
So the guy was an imbecile. Sleep well, John!
