that's probably true. I'm thinking long term.

Having said that, the internet has forced me to become much more self-aware about my opinions, so I'm hoping I can see past the initial glow. Most of my recent opinions about movies have remained pretty static.

Bask in the glow. Who cares. Let yourself enjoy it to the highest level that you can. So what if down the road it doesn't hold up. Dont rob yourself of joy, stip!

Yup, I did. As usual I find him measured and insightful. His friend not so much. I tend to not watch that half in the bag series.

Mike and Jay are excellent critics; I feel like they have Rich on just to get another perspective, and it's usually hit or miss. My RLM power rankings would be:

1. Mike
2. Jay
3. Jack
4. Jessi
5. Rich
6. Josh

I'm really looking forward to Space Cop. Don't know if it'll be good but it should be entertaining.

I'm not sure there much to do there apart from point out the unnecessary additions and the warping of the story.


If they did one about that 4 hour fan edit of all 3 films it could be good.

Rich has moments of brilliance, overall I'd rather hear Mike and Jay talk about movies over him.
