I really dislike useless stereotypical descriptions.

You can be conservative and want more government regulation. You can be progressive and want less government regulation. An individual can be conservative on some issues, progressive on others, and want more or less government regulation depending on the issue.

People and their views are a little bit more nuanced than "left" and "right".

Lol, you're funny.

How is accurately stating the purpose of a firearm and projectile absurd?

How is accurately stating the reality of the situation not conducive to learning?

Why is this accurate representation bothersome to you?

If I'm incorrect (hint: I'm not) then please state the real purpose for a firearm and the real purpose for a projectile.

No. A firearm's purpose is to accelerate a projectile to high velocity. I'm not being facetious, this is the actual purpose. The projectile that is fired from the firearm has whatever designated purpose the operator decides it will be used for. So if the operator decides to shoot at a piece of paper or steel then that is the purpose of that projectile.

I think people enjoy HDTV over SDTV very much. And that is very much a case of "what kind of media it's recorded on". The same is true for various film and digital cinematography formats. Some media/formats present large advantages over other formats and people enjoy these advantages - that's not exactly controversial.

Yes, that's what he wrote.

Whether or not you liked The Hateful Eight is immaterial. The thing that matters here is if other directors and cinematographers saw it and thought that their next movie could use it or not. They also may have hated the plot of The Hateful Eight but thought "fuck those vistas and amazing in 70mm" and adopted it.
