    Recently LA Times film critic Kenneth Turan retired after a long career. I was just remembering something that made an impression on me when I was younger. He wrote a negative review of Titanic, and commentary on how he felt its success illuminated larger issues with Hollywood.

        In response, James Cameron himself wrote a long rebuke to Turan's criticism, saying, at one point, "Give us a critic who actually likes movies." But...Turan loves movies. Loving movies doesn't mean loving every movie, or every popular movie.https://www.latimes.com/archives/la-xpm-1998-mar-28-ca-33428-story.html …

        In fact, if you don't hate some movies, even some movies other people love, I wonder a bit if you really love movies. If you don't have your own deeply felt, deeply held convictions about them, that you're willing to voice even if they're unpopular.

        This was one of my first explicit exposures to something I consider central to what it means to be a critic, and to what makes the work of a critic valuable. So hey, thanks for that, Kenneth Turan, and congratulations on your well-earned retirement.

        (To be clear, I'm talking here about critics doing the work of being critics. I'm not saying it's virtuous to go around telling your friends or randos on Twitter that the things they like are stupid or anything like that. It's not.)https://twitter.com/carolynmichelle/status/1250562848675082241?s=20 …
