bad reviews of stuff i like

one of my most favorite things to do is to look up negative reviews for stuff i like. for instance, last week i went and checked out gondry's new movie the science of sleep. i thought it was rad. really neat stuff like stop animation and a cute love story with some really funny bits.

so instead of looking up reviews of something before i go, i come home and do it sometime afterwards when i have nothing to do, like tonight, since i'm at work.

heres a review i got off imdb:

I received a pass to go see The Science of Sleep and could not get any information on this film, so I went to see it with an open mine. I sat through the first 50 minutes of it and could not make head nor tail of what was happening, the only thing that made any sense at all was that the young mans mother got him a job interview, and he went to it. From that point on it made no sense at all and I left the theater not knowing what was going on nor did I care to know. This goes to show you that the films being turned out these days are for the children, or people who have not taste. Take my word for it, pass this one by and save yourself the price of admission. Don't even rent this stinker

I read through it and smile. Then i get mad. And want to strangle the person.

IF THE MOVIES FOR KIDS THEN WHY CAN'T YOU UNDERSTAND IT YOU DUMB BITCH!

Also, for a book i really liked, Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close there was this gem on Amazon:

Please help me to understand why anyone would enjoy this book. I found it so difficult to read and forced myself to finish it- but felt I did not understand the novel nor did I want to.

You didn't understand it? It was a first person narrative through the eyes of a 9 year old. You can't follow his thoughts? DIE.
