In Which Seattle Times Commenters are Unintentionally Hilarious

Readers of the Seattle Times take their bad movies seriously. Comments to Moira Macdonald's piece on David Schmader's six-week series of bad cinema run the gamut from slightly stupid ("Roadhouse is so bad that multi-million dollar Broadcast stations like TNT and TBS show it virtually every week...because it is so horrible no one will watch it, right?") to completely clueless ("I think this guy [Schmader] needs a job. Honestly, if it were Spielberg, Scorsese, John Woo, Oliver Stone, Polanski, or even Woody Allen or George Cukor giving the reviews of movies, I might be slightly persuaded to read them. But from some guy who knows nothing about directing a movie and even less about acting, give me a break.") to downright incomprehensible ("Does nobody else realize that this guy's 'job' has consisted of watching Elizabeth Berkely strip?"). Take a minute to read the entire ridiculous comment thread here.

One person from Marysville (reading through the grammer and typos) is upset because he's making his living criticizing other people's bad work. This is something we all do, so why should he get paid...

Um, because people are paying for it? I know when I go into a restaurant, people will be cooking my food, something I already do. But here's the thing: they do it better.
