My day didn’t quite go as planned. I wanted to head off to the 10:35 showing of Silent Hill<\/i> this morning, but that didn’t quite happen. I’ve been told that we’ll go tomorrow, and I really hope we do. I’ve been filling the rest of the rather pointless day with CSI, and fill-ins [little word\/number puzzle things, kinda like crosswords, but without the clues].<\/p>\n
More recently, I’ve been reading the ‘reviews’ of Silent Hill<\/i>, and I’m noticing two things:
\n
\n1. Stupidity can still piss me off.
\n2. Movie critics — specifically, the ones working for newspapers — are fucking stupid<\/i> and full of themselves. As if movies are made just for them<\/i>, because they get paid to write shit about them.<\/p>\n
I have yet to see a positive review in a newspaper-type website. I’ve seen two fairly positive reviews, but they were…not newspaper websites. And at least one of them admitted they’d never played the fucking game….<\/p>\n
The rest of them, though…every one I read makes me feel like I just need to dig out one of the old PS1s that’re probably living in the garage and go on a nasty movie-critic abusing rampage with it. The absolute worst thing I’ve seen so far is some twit from a Canadian paper calling Pyramid Head [or Red Pyramid, or OHWTFISTHAT?!, whichever you prefer] something with an anvil<\/i> for a head.<\/p>\n
I don’t know if I’ve ever said this before, but I love<\/i> the series. Sure, I’m a seriously sick Zelda fan — I’ve had the next-one-that’s-just-never-coming-out preordered for almost a year now, but Silent Hill<\/i> is the most me<\/i> thing I’ve ever actually seen outside of my own head. I will be very, very cranky if this movie sucks, but at least I’ve played the fucking game<\/i>.<\/p>\n
Well, okay, technically I’ve only gotten through 1, 2, and a good half of three, but there were…circumstances. It rained in the hallway. That’s really not the point, though. I at least know a little of what went on in the games.<\/p>\n
I suppose there would be fewer employed movie critics if a little actual knowledge was required before they hated all over something.<\/p>\n
People suck. This world needs more cases of spontaneous human combustion….<\/p>\n
