So let’s say you’re respected documentary programmer Thom Powers, and you’re miffed that the New York Times’ A.O. Scott made a Top 10 — really Top 16 — list of feature films and only a Top 5 devoted to documentaries. Perhaps you’d get on Twitter and lodge a public complaint, something like this:

Or, to put it another way:
@vjmfilms I DO WHAT I WANT!!!!
