It is pretty funny how voluminously wrong J-Pod can be in such a relatively short space. Most posts on "Big Hollywood" have to go four times that length (and they do!) to achieve comparative idiocy... Fair enough.

I think if there’s anything vaguer than his use of the word “interesting”, it’s the angry mass’ definition of what would better qualify a critic for the job.

You're more pissed-off at Podhoretz for his ignorance of the fact that you're paid by Spout than you are by his commendation of pig ignorance and cretinously vague praise of the so-called "interesting" sensibility? I dunno. I think the whole ball of wax is just a vile glob of resentment. The money shot is the contributor's note, by which Podhoretz is able to gloat that HE is still paid to review films for the Standard. That'll show everybody. Really?
