But, seriously, it's art.  It's kind of hard to determine what's "good" with such things.  Critics hate a movie the public loves and vice versa.  It's all a rich tapestry. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Then again, I liked Dude, Where's My Car?, so what do I know?The problem is that, well, anyone can be a critic, especially in this day and age of the internet.  So, if anyone can be a critic, what weight does criticism carry?Honestly, I've read some things written by so-called critics that were mindnumbing.  I once read a review of Bride Of Frankenstein that took a detour into the bizarre.  The character of Dr. Pretorius has often been accused of being gay due to the fact that the actor who protrayed him was.  Well, this writer claimed that he wasn't gay...but was a necrophiliac serial killer!No joke!  It all stems from a line in the film in which Pretorius says he was kicked out of the university for "knowing too much".  The writer claimed that "knowing" mean knowing in the biblical sense (sex), so that obviously means he had sex with dead bodies. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f615.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":confused:" title="Confused    :confused:"  data-smilie="5"data-shortname=":confused:" /> And people thought the guy who thought X-Men was all about homosexuality was a weirdo.Anyway, would you trust those two critics to judge what makes a movie good?  Personally, I wouldn't trust them to use a toilet properly.</blockquote>
