    Do critical critics exist anymore? I feel like I haven’t seen a good pan in ages. Maybe when Cats came out, but everyone dog piled that one.

      The Pitchfork review of Jet’s album “Shine On” was just an embedded video of a chimp pissing in its own mouth and a 0.0/10 score. That was 2006.

        I’m not sure if you’re serious or not, but if you really don’t know, Google up the best reviews of “Cats 2019” and delight in the glorious train wreck. Some of the better quotations include: “Will haunt viewers for generations.” and “To assess Cats as good or bad feels like the entirely wrong axis on which to see it. It is, with all affection, a monstrosity.”

        Just don’t actually watch the movie.

              It’s fine I will just add it to my list

              Me to my manager: you know we are showing steady improvement which is great. It is like the Godfather movies. The first one was terrible but by the time we got to the end of the 3rd one it was amazing.

              Me to a buddy: who suggested an Airbender tabletop game: oh man that sounds a great. I never was into that franchise and then I saw this supercool movie called the Last Airbender.

              Me to my wife: hey let’s go watch that live-action Death Note movie again I remember how much you loved it.

              Me to a different buddy: the original trilogy was great, love those little dancing ewoks. They should get their own trilogy.
