Yes, obviously, people who agree with Legolas aren't going to be irked by his intro.
My point was that those who are annoyed by it will be less likely to pay attention once he pissed them off. So if he wants people to focus on the review, why not forgo opening it with a snarky comment?
Now, hypothetically, he could be just fine with people who didn't like the comment not reading the article, in which case, there's no problem. I might be a little miffed, but would accept it as his choice. But it seems like that wasn't the case here.

It was intended to be humorous and poke fun at ourselves as much as you.

No. "Puritan prudishness" characterizes much of America perfectly. Leave it in.

Either way though, it caused the thread to derail into quite unintended directions.

I think it's silly and thin-skinned to get offended at statements of the obvious.

I fail to see any snarkiness, or who would be "irked".

I certainly don't avoid interacting with those who disagree with me on most things.

Either way, you guys, the point of my review was that this was more than just a sex movie.

Well, a few more movies like this and he'll have a reputation that allows him to act that way.

Yeah, surprisingly enough, that longest scene really did get sort of boring.

I seem to recall the author of the graphic novel, Julie Maroh, also criticising the sex scenes
