Critic

I wonder what critics think during a film. Would it be annoying to have to analyse everything? I saw a really bummer movie the other night, which tried to be all fancy and uppity by including things like Elizabeth Barrett Browning quotes, awesome bluesy songs about NY, and pretty autumnal colours. Even with all of these things, the movie was still dreadful. The most fun thing about it was the opportunity to exercise my extremely limited acerbic wit by keeping up a running commentary. The movie was called Autumn in New York, by the way.

This all got me thinking about critics and whether or not they have the right to blab their opinions to everyone else. I suppose they do. Heck, I'm one of these blabbers. But should we just let people make their own judgments? Everyone has different tastes, after all. I suppose the way it is is fine. It just makes me angry when big to-do newspapers or magazines put out reviews of good movies saying that they are terrible, and then everyone just figures "Oh, well, I suppose this review is accurate, I'm not seeing this movie," when really it's just one person's opinion.

So in my (hopefully) next post, I shall assert my views of a film on you readers. Feel free to see it or no.
