Thought I'd try and shoe-horn in a Wizard of Oz reference for the last time this year, to show you one of the worst, most ill-informed, petty, redundant articles I've come across in quite some time. What's surprising is that it comes from UK newspaper the Guardian, a more quality newspaper than the usual tabloid rag you come across. Still, this isn't worth the paper it's printed on. In short - old films are old. And what was great then is SO lame now, yeah? www.theguardian.com/film/filmblog/2013/dec/19/why-re-evalute-films-once-great-queenanEvery time I read it I get mad. In short - fuck this shit.

Normally, I'd stop reading after "Dirty Dancing is still brilliant", but since you posted it for raging purposes...
Wow, he is really criticizing fashion as the reason a movie isn't any good? Down that path is nothing but fail. It's about as intelligent as bashing a foreign language film because the characters talk funny. Also, "yak, yak,yak" is a phrase you aren't ever going to read in a legit review of anything. Derp, the characters kept talking and stuff. So gay.
The Guardian, eh? That piece was more like a shitty blog post written by somebody who spends most of their time calling out celebrities with insults on Twitter desperately hoping to provoke a response. Is this what professional writing has become?
