Speaking of losing history, most of my reviews are lost that way. I haven't ever really tried to preserve them. It is what it is.

When I assess LA's Worst Critic, whom I'm not going to name right here, it's less an assessment of his critical prowess as it is his existence as a human being. He's literally a hateful bigot, and one who often disrupts screenings by yelling right-wing slogans at the screen, who should not be getting credentialed for anything by just about any objective standard cited by studios and corporations. Yet I suspect the moment they shut him out, if they ever do, he will proclaim it anti-christian bigotry, as he writes for a conservative nonprofit. The man tried to pick an argument with my wife out of thin air over Black Panther's "left-wing bias."

I used to find his bad reviews funny, but these days, I think he's actively part of a dangerous larger movement.
