Reviews of good movies in general are not so entertaining.
Indeed. I use to seek out the 1/2 star Ebert reviews; they were exceedingly entertaining. I even went to see some of the movies afterword, and they ended up with that whole so-bad-its-entertaining, especially why you have a guide going in. 2-star movies are the worst ones; not bad enough to be outrageous, but not interesting either. Just plain boring. D&D was fairly epically bad.
As to Guy Fieri; he bugs the shit out of me. I don't think he is sincere, and I don't think so of the places he praises has good food; it is just outrageously prepared food, in some cases.
I'm quite fond of 'low-brow' food and will go to great lengths for a great burger, etc. "Simple" food can be exceedingly great, and whenever I hear someone say "It's just mashed potatoes" or "It's just a hamburger", I think
they don't get it. However, I think Guy (or his producers at least) is turning it into an anti-intelluctalism thing, not a great simple/homestyle/etc. food thing.
