Film Reviewers Should Get to the Point
RECEIVED Wed., July 21, 2004
Dear Editor,
Are you reviewers nuts!? Why do they not write well?
Each tries to outdo the other in new metaphors, and I think they are silly.
Being erudite is wasted when you can't get your damn point across.
Please ask you reviewers to stop writing like overeducated shitheads, and get to the damn point of "what this movie is about" and "why I liked it, or not."
How hard is that?
They make me laugh at how bizarre and nonsensical they actually are.
I am sure I got my point across. Why can't they? Do you pay them per word?
You should fire the lot of them, and get a "wo/man in the street" opinion or two – or three.
