My favorite thing about film critique is the phenomenon of anti-signal.
There was a local-paper film critic who was just the most delightful curmudgeon. If there was a film done in any style that wasn't aping 1960 or earlier, he despised it.
But it made him a very useful barometer for me: I'd look at the movies he panned and go see those.
