The perfect movie review doesn’t….

@petrillic that's worthy of an award by itself!

@petrillic @kcarruthers Although I appreciate this for how topical/current it is, my personal favourite remains the review someone gave the abysmal sequel to the anime OAV series Bubblegum Crisis.

The sequel was called Bubblegum Crash.

The review in question: “And it DID.”

@petrillic

@petrillic @kcarruthers To be fair, if I must, had it been an original and not a sequel to a beloved series, Crash would probably have received a “meh” response and been mostly forgotten. It was only because it WAS a direct sequel to Crisis that it achieved such infamy in anime fandom…

"I only regret that I have but one boost to give!"

@petrillic @UKFilmNerd

@petrillic There's one on Netflix too?

@petrillic should I outlive the cockroaches, I will never come up with anything that brilliant.

@petrillic Correct: it literally doesn’t exist.

- Variety has not reviewed the film, as far as I can tell

- The same quip has been a meme about poorly-received movies for years, at least as far back as the Ghostbusters reboot

@petrillic
in Spain lots of publicity for the propaganda movie. Of course this movie is set to get a lot of Grammy award nominations and win a Grammy

@petrillic another Nazi zombie movie? No thanks.

@petrillic Something that finally tops the review for Doolittle...

@petrillic It is a bribe from Bezos, therefore Amazno, not Netflix.

I wonder when the CAM version is going to hit the pirate streaming services?

@petrillic

@petrillic Nobody does it better than Variety. Their best line since "Hicks Nix Sticks Pix"

@petrillic why waste time on melanie when we have one battle after another

@petrillic I wish I could find the cite for this! Anyone got a link?

@phraktalz @petrillic @kcarruthers Chortle. Sometimes less is more indeed.
