Chris Miller: Something's coming...
Was it Nietzsche who said man is defined more by what he hates than by what he loves?
Roger Ebert published his most famously virulent negative reviews in a standalone book. So instead of reading about good movies that we would be encouraged to see, we could join in sneering at bad material. Social media just let this mindset have more visibility.
The clash between critics and creators has been eternal. Famous Spanish playwright Enrique Jardiel Poncela had such an ugly relationship with the critical system of the 20s, 30s and 40s, that some critics are said to have actually hired people to go boo his play premieres. The books I read collecting his plays had biographical forewords for each where he went on detail talking about how each was critically ravaged.Earlier this year there was a nice article written about how the bulk of the criticisms studios (and defenders) throw at Rotten Tomatoes or internet reviews in general were already things going back decades, and how the internet just made the reviews easy to access.
LOL at that Dark Phoenix pictures of Turner
What's funny about it?
