Thank you for that.The first injunction is of course a sheer impossibility. The second would lead to Pollyannaish writing: "I just *loved* this movie!" Don't we hate that in audio reviewing? Aren't the mags always getting ripped for publishing only favorable reviews? Yet along come people who can't take the heat when some scribbler tells what he saw.
Remember, everyone: Reading is for both amusement and information. Movies are pure amusement. Should they fail in that endeavor, I want to be forewarned.

There have been 5 movies now. If after the first two you're not impressed, why go back? "It's my job" is not acceptable. I'll tell you why: the majority of critics/reviewers can't enjoy a movie. They are stuck here and will (probably) never leave. Sad, but true. Michael Coate has some valuable information in his recent update.
There's nothing I'm going to say that will make you change your feelings on this subject (hell, I see it IS your job!). And of course there's nothing you can say to change my mind. Want the last word -- it's yours. Read it twice -- once for you, once for me.
