Who the fuck will tell me that a film is good, even though everyone else tells me otherwise?

I loved reading all of his reviews, even though I only saw .001% of the movies he reviewed. I read and loved them all!
He put out some damned good blog posts, too.

You are going to places that rates movies on how good they are.
You need to look for a site that rates on how much they suck. Something like this:
....please someone kill me
This movie sucks so very badly that im going to bang my head till I kill all the brain cells devoted to its memory
That sucked so very badly that im going to poke out my eyes now
That movie really really sucked.
That movie sucked so much
That movie sucked
That didn't suck too much
That movie only sucked a little bit
That movie almost didn't suck!
I can't believe it! It didn't suck!

His writing made me laugh. His politics were great. It didn't bother me that much that I often didn't agree with his reviews.
