Subject: Re: Fire Walk With me is great... no question From: ingria@bbn.com (Bob Ingria) Date: 1992-08-31, 17:18 Newsgroups: alt.tv.twin-peaks Reply-to: ingria@BBN.COM In article <1992Aug31.225915.16410@murdoch.acc.Virginia.EDU> ckt4x@faraday.clas.Virginia.EDU (Curt Tsui) writes: Anyways, as a friend of mine says, "a film critic is nothing more than a glorified movie-goer." Their opinions should be respected as their own, but they have no more credentials than you or me. Actually, it's surprising how sloppy many movie reviewers are. I go to see movies for enjoyment, but I often find that I watch movies much more carefully than the reviewers. It's hard to respect someone who is paid to write about films when they don't pick up on things that I, a mere layman, can figure out on a single viewing. Most critics don't come anywhere near the level of care and insight one finds in the better discussions in a group like this. -30- Bob
