Good Quote

The mark of a truly great and wonderful director is one who will send you this quote after your reviews come out. I thought I would share it with you all since many of you are in the arts. Thank you, Daren. And thank you, Pixar. (Kris Vire, um…go get a sandwich or something for a minute while the rest of us read this quote ok? Xo)

In many ways the work of a critic is easy, we risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read, but the bitter truth we critics must face is that in the grand scheme of things the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so. But there are times when a critic truly risks something, and that is in the discovery and offense of the new. The world is often unkind to new talent, new creations. The new needs friends. – From: "Ratatouille"
