Reply #66: "Hey everybody, look at me!!"

This critic is like the Michael McDonald child character on Mad TV. "Hey everybody, look at me!"

STU-ART!!

People seem to forget that movie critics are paid to write an ENTERTAINMENT column. They get more publicity and more readers by being negative than by being positive. It's a field that is built around this concept: Verbose pomposity expressed in a preaching, judgmental manner, the purpose of which is to please the CRITIC in his feelings of smug rightness, for his enjoyment and the enjoyment of those readers who need such a vicarious experience, but lack the vocabulary, time, and opportunity to do so.
