I thought the new Batman sucked.
There, I said it.
Did you study film in school? Because that’s the only reason for such an interesting opinion…
Really? That’s the only reason someone would have that opinion?
-criticism is useful and beneficial; it acknowledges the strengths and flaws of someone’s work, hoping to show the dynamics that should be explored and nurtured as well as those that need perhaps more technical or artistic attention. criticism never attends only the lackluster concerns/aspects of someone’s work, it always seeks to point out elements of said work that have merit or potential. this is where it always becomes difficult for people, because for most it’s easier to simply indicate dissatisfaction and showcase negativity than actually think about the piece and come up with ways the creator might improve upon either it or future endeavors.
- then you have straight negative criticism (which isn’t really even criticism, it’s opinion). this helps nobody and is akin to yelling “this sucks!”. this methodology is used by schoolchildren and adults with no capacitance towards comprehensive and responsible thought. those that employ this method of relating to creative works should be summarily dismissed, one should only ever take seriously the opinion of: those that have something to add.
- so, if you tell someone that their work isn’t good, and offer no praise for the one or two aspects of it that worked, you haven’t helped or contributed jack shit and your opinion is worth about as much as said shit.
- if the project merits a response from you, be thorough and reliable with your assessment. if all you can say regarding someone’s work is “that’s not really any good, you know”, you are not helping anyone and your statement is vapid and worthy of being used only to describe itself.

sure have, had one once that got big onto trucker speed. i had gone to dinner with my folks and brother one night and we all stopped by the apartment afterwards and the kid started some shit and then spit beer on my mom and dad and swiveled to take a swing at me with a beer bottle. my brother pounced like a linebacker and slammed him through the back window in the kitchen much like a freight train, i rushed and took him out at the knees to drop the guy and then armlocked him hard enough to break one of his fingers while my dad dropped his knee onto the kid’s neck to keep him from thinking about squirming. the neighbor chick poked her head into the broken window from the back deck and said she was gonna call the cops on us, to which i replied “no shit. hurry up and call the damn cops.” so the cops showed up, we unpinned the kid, and the officer said “yeah, i know this one here. i picked him up for dui two weeks ago, he’s a belligerent little prick.”
ya just don’t spit beer on my folks, ya know?
i’ve had some other asshole roommates (one guy thought beating his girlfriend was an ok thing to do, another one was on paxil and he’d get it in him to start drinking once in a while…we’d end up having to lock him in the garage until the next afternoon), but i think that one takes home the prize.
