Movie Reviews With More Hatred: Ash Karreau Returns
There’s something great about watching movies and calling it “work” (or at least “research”). If not for the VJ thing, I think I’d want to be a film reviewer. Except of course the interweb’s best reviewer has started writing on the 16mm Shrine again.
Ash Karreau is the Mark Driver of film review, an ironic ball of angry, politically incorrect racism and sadistic narcissism. Here are the first two sentences of his comeback review:
Like Seth Putnam of Anal Cunt, I like drugs and child abuse. Unfortunately, the closest I can come to the latter is punching my underage girlfriend in the stomach after unprotected sex.
From this quote you can probably already tell if you’ll enjoy his writing. Movie reviews are about figuring out what you want to watch. You find a reviewer who likes similar things, then you can go to see movies they like, because you’ll probably like them too. Ash hates basically everything though, so it’s a rather novel method of movie selection. If the things you hate are similar to the things he hates, then you go see the movies in which the things he’s hating are things you’ll actually kind of like. Umm. I think that’s how it works. Anyway, he’s written possibly the best film review ever, so read the 16mm Shrine.
