My movie rating philosophy is aided by these two sayings:

"Sorry guys, I can’t give great reviews to every movie I see. This one’s only getting 3 bags of popcorn." - Tim Heidecker

"Ahhh man, this movie had it all. It had action, drama, comedy, suspense and dance. " - Tim Heidecker

My observation on the current state of American politics is aided by this saying:

"It’s important to remember that to remain a member in good standing of the conservative movement, it isn’t enough just to vote a certain way. You have to evidence a very particular tribal belonging – you need to hate the right people, be ignorant of the right facts, be fearful of the right bogeymen, and be arrogant about the whole enterprise. If you somehow fail this tribal litmus test, it doesn’t matter how right-wing you are." - David Nir, Swing State Project
