The little-girl-in-the-red-dress thing made me gag...I couldn't believe
he could be that tasteless....but then again..yes I can!
Yes, the burning question is: why have so many so-called film critics
given this film their Best Picture award? What is the job of a critic
these days? That's quite a question...who are they working for, really?
What about that phrase I've often heard..."I'm glad I only paid $3.25
to see that film, rather than the full $6.00/6.50/7.00"? Who do we
believe when we read popular criticism and why?
