I never had the nerve to make the final cut.

Damn, Hal, you took what I was going to say.

You can take that to mean that I agree with Hal, Luke. I despise the critics, I only read the reviews for the film synopsis; if it sounds like a good concept, I give it a try. Also, I think the fact that most of them have panned a great many of my favorite films has something to do with it.

Of the the people that review films as a profession. I would have to say Ebert.

Now, out of everyone in the world, I would have to choose me.

Critics suck. You can never trust a film critic.

They give rave reviews to Kill Bill (volI) which happened to be abysmal.

Then the turn around and say that "The Passion" is too violent.

ROFLMFBO!

On a more serious note, they also give rave reviews to "Saved!" a movie that might as well be call "Blasphemy, The Motion Picture"

I don't like critics.

From what I've read of those movie critiques, they aren't bad, despite the occasional disagreement I have.
