      If I'm reading Jon Kay correctly. He thinks the 4 negative reviews of Chapelle special are proof that most critics lie. I wonder what he'd make of even wider gap between critics/audiences for Grandma's Boy & nearly as wide gap for Adams Family 2.pic.twitter.com/Lvj3NPXVQs

      It's possible that critics secretly love movies like Grandma's Boy & Adam's Family 2 but keep quiet because they don't want to be shamed by colleagues or friends. but that seems less likely than that people who watch many, many movies have different tastes than casual viewers.

      Bottom line here is that Kay is looking at an aggregation of 6 reviews (4 negative, 2 positive) and making claim that "most professional film/TV/book reviews" are lies. That's a dingbat claim. Alas, Kay, not a dummy, has let ideology rot his good sense.pic.twitter.com/KKTKoHwxqZ

          They have a narrative and will not deviate from it regardless of the realities. So much projection.

          quite charitable to assume he's arguing in good faith

          His point, I think, is that critics don't represent what real people like. TBH I've noticed the same thing. When critics and audience opinions diverge, we go with the audience.

          If you tend to like dumb stuff, this is a good strategy.

          After the recent star wars movies I assume whatever movies 4chan decides to care about get bot swarmed. Audience scores should also be taken with a grain of salt. Unrelated, Grandma's Boy is a treasure.
