“When I was a film critic, the reason I kind of found it disenchanting was because the things that I wanted to talk about were the ideas in the movie, the theme of it, and contextual elements that weren't necessarily central to the story. But the only thing people really wanted was a plot description and how many stars I'd give it. It didn't matter how much effort you put into writing a piece, they looked at it solely as a consumer's guide toward going or not going to films.” PeopleGivingWritingKindIdeasMatterReasonStoriesWantedFilmFoundStarsEffortPiecesElementsCriticsGuidesConsumersThemeDescriptionPlotFilm Critics Author:Chuck Klosterman

“I grew up on the sets of Bonanza and most of my (childhood) memory is (on the set of) Little House. I was actually an assistant cameraman on Highway to Heaven.

He never treated anyone differently - whether you were the guest star of the show or the grip.

“Critics are giving marks for originality, acting, photography and scripting, while mass audiences are more drawn to familiarity of genre, stars they would like to have sex with or plots that are more likely to make their dates have sex with them. Reviewers are doing their day's work, cinema-goers are escaping from theirs: this leads to an inevitable difference of response. It is, though, wrong to conclude that reviewers are completely useless. Books, movies and shows may be critic-proof, but the egos and psyches of the people who make them very rarely are.” PeopleGivingMayBookShowsStarsSexDifferencesActingAudienceEgoPhotographyMassMarkResponseCriticsProofInevitableUselessGenreCinemaPlotOriginalityFamiliarityEscapingReviewersPsych Author:Mark Lawson
