Video Blog: Dispelling Some Myths About Film Critics

Ok first of all I don’t like the title of this video blog that I came up with… but it’s generally descriptive of what I’m going for. I wanted to talk a bit today about our perception of film critics and how a lot of people in the film fan community just look at “critics” as some sort of collective hive mind and we use massive generalizing statements about them like “critics don’t know what they’re talking about” when “critics” are actually a huge diverse group with massive differences in how each of them think about film.

Meh… I’ll stop trying to describe what I’m talking about and just let you watch the video.

    Yes, film is absolutely a subjective medium. Unless of course we’re talking about “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen.” It is absolutely, resolutely, objectively bad. Any attempt to argue the contrary will prove futile.
