Joshua the Anarchist
http://joshuatheanarchist.blogspot.com/
When you hear the word "anarchist" you probably think of a murdering psychopath or a flag-burning punk rocker, but this is not the case. The official definition of "anarchist" is "a person who promotes disorder or excites revolt against any established rule, law, or custom". And I am here to excite revolt against the established hierarchy of the film industry and the reviewing industry. Down with the greedy studio execs who heap crappy movie after crappy movie on us simply to turn a profit! Down with the pompous film critics who don't even care about movies! Down with the Oscar hype suffocation of critical thinking! Power to the people! Let the movie revolution begin!
