Books Are Fun!
I am halfway through a book I recently purchased called 101 Movies to Avoid: The Most Overrated Films Ever, by Allan Smithee. It's pretty great; essentially it's this one dude making fun of people for liking supposedly classic movies. His writing style is inflamitory, and often downright insulting...in fact, he sort of reminds me of myself. I don't agree with all of his reviews, but did enjoy his summary of 2001: A Space Oddesey, which he called "A perfect con trick by Kubrick" Check out this book, it's on Amazon.
