- I love watching movies. I very much enjoy this list. However, as soon as
- you mention Siskel and Ebert, I am compelled to point out my personal
- opion on these two and movie critics in general. There DORKS! Some how
- I just can't respect anyone whos job it is to sit around and watch movies
- and then try to pedal the great significance of it all to me! When all is
- said and done, movies are entertainment, be it a seven Academy Award winner
- or Pee Wee Herman. Sure we love some more than others, and some are plain
- trash, but when I hear or read some critics going on with thier pious opions
- about how bad a movie is with out taken into consideration that a movie may
- be watched for fun, for relaxation, or just to kill 2 hours, I am reminded
- of athletes crying how tough it is to get paid to play games. I will now get
- down off my own personal soap box. Thank you; I feel much better.
