It's a remake, Richard. Please, just make it stop. In Offense of Critics. I was just going to make this a nice happy column about flowers and little pink happy bunny rabbits and stuff. But then I saw this press release from one Beverly Tanner.
Film critics hate science fiction.
There's no other explanation for the drubbing that films of this genre consistently receive upon release. That's a hilarious assumption and I kinda just laughed it off as someone who hasn't done their homework. So I kept reading. And sure enough, they had critics quoted as hating such classics as Blade Runner and Close Encounters . But then I realized what this was.
