The Good, The Bad, and The Good/Bad

Vol. 1 • Iss. 1

Wot's all this then, eh?

Movies, music, magazines, video games...

But mostly movies.  At least for now.

Not an "outdoorsy" person, Feisty Media Critic (a.k.a. FMC) sees a LOT of movies.  So many that the titles are often not remembered.  Have you ever begun watching a film you've already seen because the title didn't ring a bell?  It's not a hallmark of a bad film, mind you.

FMC considers the most accurate litmus test of a TRULY good film as being able to name the major characters the day after seeing the film.  If the names don't embed themselves in one's brain for at least that long, someone screwed up in the character development department.

There are many criteria that Feisty Media Critic applies to determine whether or not a film/movie/flick is "good."  In this context, good MUST be placed in quotation marks, because there are:

• TRULY good (or great) films
• Good movies
• Bad movies
Flicks (toss-off "popcorn" cinema)
• Good/BAD movies
• BAD movies
• Bad/GOOD/BAD movies
and finally...
• WASTES OF CELLULOID

As this blog progresses, you'll have the opportunity to read about the latest films/movies/flicks seen by FMC, as well as music, video games, and anything else that should pop up that merits some kind of critique.

No need to save us the aisle seat.  We don't go to theaters anyway.

In our next blog, we'll tell you what our Achilles' heels are - which actors, directors, and themes will nearly always appeal to us.  It's important that you know that because, feisty or not, we're only human and are inclined to biases.  Nature of the beast.

See you then!
