Critics would give more accurate reveiws if they were fewer and furthur between. Too many movies at once desensitizes the part of the brain responsible for being entertained.
The problem with a lot of critics is they confuse valid criticism with personal likes and preferences. Restaurant critics are even worse than the movie critics-we have one who always complains the food is too bland or not spicy enough-not everyone likes having the hair singed from their nostrils by a chef who is unable to control the heat to a savory level. Movie critics are the same; they sometimes have difficulty distinguishing plot exposition from needless padding that lends little to the film as a whole.
What galls me is when a movie title lends itself to the same kind of puns from numerous critics, like “Whatever Works” and “Ten Things I Hate About You.”

Ebert did have those troubles in later years…

As did this strip. Seems this thing happens on GoComics: repeat strips stop updating the first of the month.

So why even have this strip if it’s going to sit dormant for weeks at a time? I’m tired of the waits. Link deleted.
