I loved reading Peary's Alternate Oscar. I don't recall him giving a nod, or award worthy runner up nod to Henry: Portrait Of A Serial Killer though.
As soon as I read your post, I recalled it must have been IY who did not care for Peary. Go figure. I liked DP a lot also. Such fun and interesting observations! He didn't seem snooty, either. My favorite film critic, after Pauline Kael, of course. Yes, it figures! What a depressing lump of lard the eyeball would've been to be around. Everything would have been contradicted.
With critics, it is not so much their opinion, because it is all subjective, but the manner of delivery and quality of writing that sells their opinion. Kael was good at looking at why she felt things did or didn't work. Peary was honest and passionate and came across as a genuine, open and nice guy.
