Really brought home what Kevin means when he says he gets too into the negative reviews. I really like Roger Ebert, and have respected his views for a long time. When he likes a movie, it's a fair bet I'll like it too. I've never had a lot of respect for Roeper. At least in terms of pointing me to good movies.
And yet... I find myself barely aware that Ebert reviewed it favourably, and I want to strangle the pompous ass Roeper. He comes off as such a smarmy idiot.
I'll never try to tell you again to try to ignore the negative reviews... instead, may I suggest voodoo dolls to release the anger?
Oh, and thanks, Ming... the experience wouldn't have been full without seeing the look of condescension on Roeper's face.
