CITIZEN SHAME!

Rating: 1/10 (18 December 1999)

How could the AFI put this in the top 100, let alone at number one! Oh, wait, all the AFI's top 100 movies are really awful, with the exception of Pulp Fiction, which is one of my favorite movies.
I mean, I fell asleep in the first 20 minutes! Nothing happens, just a millionare who owns a few newspapers. The film details his life, which I was only recently notified that it was the life of William Hearst. Who wants to see that? It's a couple trillion matte paintings and a timeline spanning 100,000 years and yes, I am exaggerating quite a bit. Sorry, but it really seems like that! It's so boring!
And just last week, I saw RKO281, which was about the making of it, and a supremely more entertaining film. I heard Orson Welles say "It's all about the art! People go to the movies to see themselves!" What? If I want to see myself, I look in the mirror. If I want to see someone else, then in my own imagination, pretend I'm that person, I go see a movie.
