| Criticwatch 2012 (Updated 5/11/12) |
by Erik Childress
In 2011, Peter Travers received his lowest quote total since 2004. But Shawn Edwards and Joel Amos doubled down to become the two-time reigning 1-2 Whores of the Year punch. Studios are becoming more aware that we are all aware of their little whores, so in our encouragement to cut these cancers out of the promotion game, it is becoming necessary to discourage moviegoers from attending the films praised by these junketeers and hyperbolic quote sluts. The numbers in 2012 certainly do not lie. You see any of these numbers on a commercial or in a newspaper and chances are the movie really sucks. At the very least, we hope this will prevent actual good films with critical support being infected by their poisonous pre-written word vomit. Read on to learn more and join the cause.
Find out who were The Whores of the Year for 2011 and The Bag O' Douche Winner for 2011.
