Best Opus I've seen in years. From The Critical Drinker, undoubtedly FR's favorite film critic.

What will we do without him?

Ok, ok ... nickcarroway made me do it with his post about the Giants banning children under 17 at Oracle Park. Any other good ones?

I watched this last night and was really saddened as I love The Critical Drinker. Fortunately it was just an April Fool’s joke.

Best April Fool’s parody I’ve seen in quite some time, and yes, he had me going there for a moment!

Has Biden declared this a national disaster? Will the flags be at half staff? I feel like curling up in a hedgehog position with a bottle of Chianti and sobbing. The world looks a little darker now. I won’t want to get up in the morning. Maybe if I hold a knife to myself, I can muster up the nerve to get up. maybe. . . .

Oh, it’s an April Fools Joke. Never mind my previous post. I’ll be okay.

Yes, he was a very smart and funny fellow, but movies are too much alike so his reviews started to feel too much alike. Ditto for the “Pitch Meeting” guy. You can learn a lot from both of them, but at this point they each need a new shtick.

Some drunken idiot from Scotland.....

Is there any other kind?

That’s just his Youtube persona, however. I’ve never seen him drunk.

:: Best Opus I’ve seen in years ::

You must not read much of Lazamataz’s stuff.
His ‘International Institute of I’d Hit It’ was legendary.
As was his swearing off disparaging remarks concerning ugly women.
April fools, indeed!

He will be missed but I see why he did it.
“Go away now”
