I love Rick Groen
fave movie critics:
Rick Groen
Katrina Onstad
Geoff Pevere
But i’ve only seen Onstad and Pevere on TV so I don’t know how they come across when they write. I did read Mondo Canuck which Pevere co-wrote but I don’t remember much of the writing style. Groen is awesome. I read his reviews just because i enjoy his writing and his brain. i totally appreciate the small qualifications he makes that seem to indicate a sense of careful judgement. Like in his review of Lady Chatterly, he writes, “Ironically, perhaps, the English novel has been tamed by a French director.” I totally dig that “perhaps.”
I wonder what Groen would say about my choosing the above sentence as the defining excerpt of his article. Yup, I know how to sell’em.
i love his brain. I wonder what he looks like… can i escalate his status from admired to adored? I have a hard time not crushing on people I admire. just can’t distinguish between esteem and lust. it’s all the same!
