His derogatory writing style

Looking through this man's online Biographical Encyclopedia of Science Fiction, what struck me is that he seems to despise almost every actor and director he writes about, e.g. Steven Spielberg is "an insufferably awful director", Christopher Lee is "enigmatically empty", George Takei is "an awful actor", and so on. Have any professional reviewers commented on Westfahl's sarcastic and disparaging style? Muzilon (talk) 23:53, 1 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
