Should film critics write movies? This is the question that has plagued mankind for centuries. On the one hand, it seems ideal. I mean, they already sort of know what makes a good movie, I mean they're film critics. They know what pleases the masses, they know what makes a movie look good... it's practically in their blood. On the other hand, To Boldly Flee. (I love ya Doug, but that low hanging fruit was RIGHT THERE! xxx)
