How Could This Movie Get Four Stars?

[movieguy1021]

I work at a movie theater that shows Sideways, which reveived ****/**** in my local paper (as did our other film, House of Flying Daggers). I'm often right outside the theater when people (mostly old) walk out. There's either people pretending to like it because the paper liked it, or people saying "How could this movie get four stars?"

IT'S CALLED A DIFFERENCE IN OPINION!

I have no problem if they said "I disagree with Steven Rea's review because I found the film to be rather dull and lifeless", but they question this refutable reviewer's opinions because they don't like it. The Philadelphia Inquirer is not the law of the land. Although I understand that older people may not have internet connections, it's not that hard to find another reviewer. There's many people out there who don't like Sideways. Just because the ONE REVIEW of it you read liked it, doesn't give you the right to become God of the Movies.

That brings me to a (somewhat unrelated) point. There are **SPOILERS** to Sideways.

Everyone talks about the naked man! "And what about that nude man?" "Wasn't that naked guy hilarious?" This hilarious movie is culminated into one moment of crude humor? And what's so funny about that? You're 65 years old, you see a naked man every day , what's so great about another one?

i actually differ from you here... i HATE going to movies and hearing people act like they are fucking Roger Ebert.

Not everyone is as into movies as us. I hate hearing ppl THINK they know a shit load about movies... and hearing people say "wow this movie did not live up to expectation, the reviewer in question, although privy to his own opinion, was wrong, in my humble opinion" it just sounds like.. no offense... a TOOL!

Id rather hear someone say "Holy shit, that was fucking GARBAGE... how the fuck could Joe Bill Bob fuckin give that POS 4 stars... it sucked more then Pam Anderson on Tommy Lee's dick"

that is a person who just came to see a movie and was disappointed!

Not everyone is a critic!

(if that even made sense)!

Valid point, but when people completely TRASH a reviewer because of one movie, that's the thing that pisses me off.

Old people just suck anyways. The best "old person" walkout I ever saw was when I seen Cecil B Demented, and Alicia Witt lets that mouse run up her cooch. (Its a John Waters flick, if you didnt know) And this old man and lady get up, and he actually waved his hand at the screen and said: "Bah!" I was like, I haven't seen someone do that since 1952.

And I don't care how much praise is heaped on Sideways, and I love Alex Payne and Paul G, but it looks like the most boring goddamn movie of the year. WINE TASTING? They couldn't have set the story in a better situation? Fuck. No thanks. Any other year that movie would have fallen completely through the cracks, but because there was so much terminal crap this year, it's like "the shit", like what happened with Mystic River last year.

The thing that irritates me the most is when someone is giving an opinion while walking out of a movie and they talk REALLY LOUD because they think they're being clever. Shut the fuck up and finish your popcorn, you idiot.
