Rex Reed...WTF? (He hates the Coens & True Grit)

I was disappointed with it but I'd still give it a B or B+. It just wasn't GREAT imo.

But that review is just ridiculous.

talk about pretentious. I love the Coens, but not everybody on the planet has to fawn over every single move they make. They aren't above criticism. And have you even seen this movie yet? Perhaps some is warranted.

Are you implying what I said was pretentious? Wow. Really? Jump to conclusions much?

Nothing about my statements was pretentious. I don't fawn over every movie they make and, as I said, I can understand if people don't get them and don't like their movies. FWIW, I don't "get" Seth Rogen and don't particularly like his movies, but I also don't try to denigrate his entire body of work like Rex Reed did with the Coens.

And no, I haven't seen the movie. And no, I didn't say it was above criticism, as you implied. I've seen some good criticism in this thread alone.

I plan to see this movie soon, but I don't need to see it to know that this is a jackass statement:

The really appalling thing here is Jeff Bridges. Last year, he won an Oscar. This year, he gives the worst performance of 2010...

Pretty much that entire "review" was over the top and worthless. No critical analysis whatsoever.

The only asshat worse than Rex Reed is this guy....





Dude makes me want to punch him just on general principles.

You can't take the guy very seriously.

Er.....ummmm.....hmmmm.....er........ isn't he in a business where we are supposed to take him seriously.
