I feel sick after reading that movie boy review. really, sick.
I saw No Country three times, and each time, the Juno trailer was there. Yuck. I was happy when Tom bitched about it. I get so mad when I read movie reviews. Really, really mad. Same with record reviews. Especially when reviewers write "sophomore offering" rather than "second record" or "second cd". I think, "who do they think they're fooling!"... I may even agree with them as far as liking what they like (NOT movie boy, though) but their pretentious writing style always infuriates me. I don't have a job as a reviewer in a magazine or newspaper, so I always try to think, "well, I think I could do their job, but if I had to review movies each week, what would I do..."... But for chrissakes. Do they HAVE to have a positive, snarky spin on every movie that comes out? And are puns necessary all the time in the title? (I'm a fan of puns by the way)... I mean Juno is so clearly terrible, to anyone with a brain powerful enough to work a fork lift (my job) let alone someone writing a movie review... or are journalism students trained to write exaggerated, witty interpretations of pop culture nonsense like Juno in college/university journalism/writing classes? Fail them, Jasongrote, ...nah just give them a low C (splash of cold water on the face) so they might shape up a bit before going off feeling so all powerful when getting a job at a weekly newspaper in the midwest, snickering to themselves when proofreading their childish banter.
