Bill Chambers

"One thing I can't stand from film reviewers and filmmakers is this concept of "guilty pleasures." Film Comment tends to endorse this concept -- in their latest issue they ask Scorsese to name his; to my chagrin, he does so without a battle. If you like a film, you like it; you take in the information, you process it, and if sits pleasantly with who you are, then don't be afraid to admit it. Let's leave guilt out of it, the world's so crappy anyway."

Agrees with the Tomatometer 73% of the time.
