'Rediculous' Customer & Critic Reviews

[knives]

Nope, just a generic feminist abstract cartoonist. I assumed it was in reference to the score which uses some world music type beats in a small passage.

[Mr Sausage]

I assumed C21 = 21st century and that the review was tongue in cheek.

[TechnicolorAcid]

I thought it was more like the clothing store but that makes sense too.

Comment from Blu-ray.com. As ever, guess the movie

Just look up the opening and final scene. Other than that this, like most American westerns, is OK to skip.

The Searchers ffs

Guess what film this academic could be talking about as quoted in this excerpt from Wikipedia:

[Mr Sausage]

I didn't even know the movie he's talking about existed.

I also like that apparently the other people in contention for the role (a college student) that went to Zoey Deutch were Bryce Dallas Howard, Jordana Brewster and Mélanie Laurent. Sure!

Today I learned I’m younger than Bryce Dallas Howard

Obnoxiously glorifies some misogynistic stoner bullies who harass, haze, and hedonistically party their way through high school. These are the kids that make school hell. Anti-intellectual ogres devoid of sympathy or thought beyond their pathetic, budding virility. This isn’t funny. It isn’t charming. In layman’s terms, it’s simply sickening. That Dazed and Confused is beloved doesn’t represent artistic ingenuity, but its unthinking audience of slothful douchebags. Worse, Richard Linklater entertains such degeneracy without a veneer of derogatory insight. Want indirect commentary on suburban social systems? How about how 60s counterculture devolved into apolitical hallucinogens? Out of luck. Those fondling this film, you're the problem. Enjoy your cardboard archetypes and pot, formal defenses be damned.

I actually know someone who writes obnoxious shit exactly like this, also cherry-picking and warping details to completely misinterpret whatever it is they’re writing about. Wonder if it’s the same person?

This is the kind of writing that made my heart sink through the floor in my copy-editing days, because I could always guarantee that (a) they really, really fancied themselves as a Nabokov-rivalling wordsmith, and (b) that they'd shriek blue murder at the merest tweak to a misplaced comma.

Still, we rarely commissioned them a second time.

Noticed this while pulling some info from Amazon to log my Blu-ray of Albert Brooks' The Muse in my personal database.
