metacriticism

Nothing is good for a few laughs like a little online comic book metacriticism, in this case a fellow ready to refute theories that "bash straight guys for being straight guys."

Perhaps we could describe it as metacriticism though, in that he is tackling those who seek to shape the direction and focus of debate on the film, rather than the film itself.

Dagon. there's a lot to like about this movie, not least of all the unabashed use of CGI and rubber tentacle appendages. all things considered, the special effects were pretty good, and the set itself looked great. the creepy-assed town was perfect, the monsters were loathesomely believable, and the acting is not half as bad as the sanctimonious amazon.com reviewers would have you believe. and while i'm at it, my other amazonian metacriticism would be as follows: he who waxes petulant about plot holes reveals his lack of geek cred, for a passing familiarity with Lovecraft's mythos pretty much caulks up those story cracks that seem to have bothered you so much.
