It's not the kind of stuff you want to save and harbor away.

Yeah, but we used to care whose ass it was and why it was farting!

Well, then, you can just fight me!
You draw lines so the kid working at Sam Goody *cough* knows what section to drop that stack of CDs into. You bring up Outkast but I'm going to say half their songs are also not hip-hop. Who cares, tho? It's either good or bad. But just like real evolution, sometimes you evolve in useful ways, and sometimes you…
At what point does it stop being x and become y? How do you define hip hop, and what does a "rapper" have to do to stop being considered hip hop?
There's a difference between disliking a type of music, and disliking bad albums/groups/artists in that type of music. Complaining about an entire genre of music is mostly useless - that just comes down to personal taste. It's like a film critic who doesn't like horror films. Having them review a horror film is going…

I miss the old days where you didn't have to register, could have as many jokey user names as you wanted, and there wasn't any spam in the comment section. One day they said "hey we got Disqus so we can get rid of all that nearly-non-existent spam in the comments" … and now every single article has at least one…
But pop doesn't have to suck. To use the baby boomer favorite example, The Beatles were pop.
Don't call it hip-hop. I listen to hip-hop. That shit on the radio that sounds like it was made by robots in a disco who somehow have "feelings"? Yeah, that shit ain't hip-hop.
Was going to say Travolta's look in Killing Season was far more egregious than in Sword Fish but does it count if the wig is on his chin?
I think he said most of that, succinctly, in his review, but I do wish some of the ideas in the review were fleshed out better, the way that you have here. I think it might be more a problem of word count than anything else. It seems like most of the reviews on here are the same length, but I don't read enough of them…
He spends the entire first paragraph explaining why the film isn't effective as a holiday-themed horror/comedy. I'd quote it for you, but I'd just be quoting the whole thing. In comparing the film to Gremlins, in the final paragraph, he suggests that Krampus doesn't have enough "bite." (A point he makes repeatedly…
Theme song by Jimmie Moore, I hope.
What makes a man turn neutral?
People do seem to find Adam Sandler's films to be funny. There really is no accounting for taste.
The whole point of a review SHOULD be "this was enjoyable, here's why" and "this sucked, here's why." A film that is enjoyable but has some problems should be graded with that in mind and the review should state that. I'm more interested in a reviewers honest opinion than either the cheerleader camps at some sites, or…
Can't get rid of grades b/c of sites like Rotten Tomatoes. AVC needs them sweet sweet clicks, and being left off of aggregate sites like RT would hurt that.
