Does Geir's musical philosophy remind you of John Simon's film criticism?

I've only read his review of Performance. But few of the films/directors above push my buttons so he sounds he could be of some value.

Simon hates Godard and loves Bergman. I use that as a sort of key to understand where he's coming from.

Sometimes his critiques of actresses' physiques - for what they're worth - strike me as incoherent or even incorrect.
