I often wonder why we need professional film critics at all...
Personally I will watch and have watched everything I can get my hands on, so
rarely do I care or even read what a professional says or thinks....
How would they know what i like or would care about in a particular film?
It is nice to know that there are people who can analyze a film like many of
you do here on this forum and I appreciate that. But to have some idiot go on
and on about a movie they obviously didnt like is a complete waste of time,
space and oxygen... How many critics actually LIKE (not even going on the
edge to save LOVE) a film?
I LOVE films, dammit!
