That sounds like the best movie critic ever. I recall one of our papers writing down Mortal Kombat when it came, labelling it "1½ hours of pointless kicking and ultra violence". I had to go see it and I loved it. Se if you remember this one, it's a classic:
The thing was, this guy really was a serious writer and reporter as well. I forget what his real name is, he pen name for the movie critic column was Joe Bob Briggs, the Drive In Movie Critic of Grapevine, TX. All he ever reviewed were the really bad movies that got shown at Drive In's, when we still had drive in theaters. At the end of the column he would have a litany of what he considered special about the movie, it would read like this.
"Gratuitous multiple ardvarkinig, 3 1/2 stars for Biff and Stella for making the sign of the three corner wombat, gratuitous car chases, gratuitous nudity, special mention for Stella and her two enormous talents, absolutely no plot to get in the way of the story, 87 on the vomit meter, Job Bob says check it out."
It had absolutely no redeeming value, but was fun to read each week. |
