Oh trust me, that feeling disappears right quick :D

I actually write movie reviews for a weekly publication; I’ve got an unlimited movie pass and work for a local newspaper, so it makes sense as filler content.

I basically see most of the new movies in my local theater in their release week and write a little four sentence review on them. Now, I don’t see ALL movies, since I do need to invest some time to watch them, but I certainly make it a point to see things that I wouldn’t usually buy a ticket for. For example, I’ll throw in a romcom or foreign movie if it’s a light week and the trailer looks OK. Usually I end up seeing three, four movies per week.

This also means that I see movies ranging from awesome to garbage and everything in between. I never really completely burn a movie in a review, since most of it does have some artistic merit or a particular fan base that it appeals to. And even a bad movie adds to your repertoire of things to compare to. So yeah, few movies get truly bad reviews, because very few movies are truly bad.

And in case you’re wondering: no, I do not in fact buy popcorn. But I usually do get a slushy if it’s a longer movie.
