For starters, only drooling retards care about authorial intent where it concerns criticism.

What if the criticism stems from the critic completely missing the point the author was trying to get across?

I know this forum loving despises authorial intent, but it sure as poo poo has a place in any film discussion, especially if the discussion involves attacking the creator due to an interpretation that is completely different than what was actually intended. Ignoring authorial intent is easymode criticism for people who like to start circlejerks over their particular interpretations.
