CHICAGO – After a delay that lasted well in excess of a year, “24” returns to FOX this Sunday, Nov. 23, 2008 from 7 to 9 p.m. with a two-hour “special event” (they used to just be called “TV movies”) called “24: Redemption”.
CHICAGO – “Wow! I feel like I’m at a rock concert!” “Me too. It’s like I want to rush the stage!”
While overhearing this conversation between two young women at the recent Chicago opening of “Buddy: The Buddy Holly Story,” I realized there were no better words to sum up Drury Lane’s recent jukebox-blaring, toe-tapping homage to one of the greatest rock and rollers of all time.
Yeah. Here are a few.
Yeah. Along with many on my review on HollywoodChicago.com, here are a few from the Rotten Tomatoes entry about my review (a continued pattern of people very angry with this film and my review):
Quote:What an asinine, presumptuous windbag. I loathe idiots like this who take up the mantle of guardians against pretension. Sure, if I don’t profess to like crude, poorly crafted schlock, I’m really just putting on airs because it’s actually impossible to resist the charm of crass, derivative slime masquerading as wit.Quote:Adam, please proofread your prose before posting your reviews. You sound like an idiot.Quote:Your polysyllabic riposte does little to quash accusations of pretension directed towards dissidents. On the other hand, the “you like it and you’re lying if you say otherwise” comment is pretty smug. The title of the review alone contains enough hyperbole to sound like a quotewhore—i.e., someone who give gushingly positive praise in order get some sort of positive attention, like getting their blurb in a commercial or on the DVD box.
