Comparing it to cinemasins is ridiculous. Cinemasins just straight makes shit up, doesn't pay attention, is deliberately obtuse, and nitpicks to stretch out video run times. They do it for ad revenue.
NDT's tweets may annoy some people but they're still at least helping to educate. He's using movies as an opportunity to inject some scientific facts into the space. He could be doing it smarter and less obnoxiously, but it's still just him doing his job. It doesn't make him deserving of anywhere near as much contempt as he gets on the Internet.
And again, he is not the only celebrity that acts pompous and makes incorrect assertions on Twitter. Yet this is all anyone talks about when it comes to him.
