I always wanted to be a critic; I don't know why. I think being a critic, like being a teacher, is a great ego-booster. You get to correct and criticize people without a fear of repurcussion and you actually get paid for it. I mean, "What better job is there?"
I usually read the blog lists on IMDB. Somedays, I even find some things I really like. Today, I across this article A Love Letter to Cinema (http://thedeletedscene.wordpress.com/2011/02/06/a-love-letter-to-cinema/)
In words of Anton Ego, from Ratatouille (2007), "In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so."
