Does it bother you when your favorite movies get the thumbs-down?

I am tired today, and I don't know what to write about! So I will post some material from my BRI book. Here's a few misguided reviews for you:

	Snow White and the Seven Dwarves: "snow white is a failure in every way. As a moving figure she is unreal, as a face and body she is absurd, and what she does is ludicrous.. Another Snow White will sounds the Disney death-knell." -Current History, 1938
	Star Wars: "O dull new world! It is all as exciting as last year's weather reports... all trite characters and paltry verbiage." -New York, 1977
	The Wizard of Oz : "Displays no trace of imagination, good taste or ingenuity.. It's a stinkeroo." - The New Yorker, 1939
	The Empire Strikes Back: Malodorous offal.. Everything is stake, limp, desperately stretched out, and pretentious. Harrison Ford offers loutishness for charm, and becomes the epitome of the interstellar drugstore cowboy." - National Review, 1980
	Jaws: (the adds show a gaping shark's mouth.) "If sharks can yawn, that's presumably what this one is doing. It's certainly what I was doing through this picture.." -The New Republic, 1975

Hehehehe. Personally, I liked Star Wars! ..What is "loutishness" anyways?
