: 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.
Nitpicky. All of his points were either, a) ignorant or b) pointless technicalities.
