Maybe they need to pay the bills, want to do a friend a favor, or just like to work. As a fan/consumer I have a right not to like such choices, but it's hardly worth writing them off unless the downward trend is persistent.the secret knitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01644338306685648097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-38903985131616610922009-05-01T11:07:00.000-05:002009-05-01T11:07:00.000-05:00Because I'm live in New Orleans, A Love Song for B...Because I'm live in New Orleans, A Love Song for Bobby Long is one of my favorite Travolta movies.Howie Luvzushttp://howieluvzus.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2792307050609117515.post-4112678537454151592009-05-01T10:31:00.000-05:002009-05-01T10:31:00.000-05:00Something that has baffled me in the last few year...Something that has baffled me in the last few years is how people will over-praise a movie, band, or album, and then over-hate the same thing just a (relatively) short time later. Maybe I've been around too many hipsters, but I don't understand why people will claim Wilco as the greatest band on the planet, then over-nitpick the latest album, and then make light of their fandom in the first place. <br /><br />For me, I have a number of favorites who get a lifetime pass even though they've put out stuff I'm not totally 100 percent on. I didn't really like Ben Folds' last solo record, but I'm not about to spill bile on the Internet about it. The same with Kevin Smith: I like all of his films, but I find his Q&A DVDs a little annoying at times. <br /><br />Maybe I'm too soft and not critical enough. I don't know. I just like what I like.Eric Grubbshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08237140729566147948noreply@blogger.com
