Why bother dwelling on something you hate?
I much prefer the posts where people focus on things they enjoy. The trouble is trying to say nice about stuff is a lot more difficult as it requires you to do a lot more explaining. Slagging stuff off online is easy as the fallback will always be cheap insults. This is why any critic who makes a living hating everything lloses respect in my eyes. The real critics can put a film down expertly without the need for insults, and can inspire passion for things they love. |
I used to be like that but I decided to focus on things I like. Instead of bitching about Christopher Nolan films, I opted to rave about films that my friends don't know about. I think people are more inclined to watch those films when you don't use them to slag off the films they like.
That said, I still make the odd joke about Nolan's style
