Our breakfast television has a movie critic straight out of the feuilleton. Any movie that people actually go to is automatically bad, and there is not enough praise for art house films that makes people fall asleep in the cinema and never even make it to TV or streaming.

Sounds like the time Ebert of Siskel & Ebert gave Twister a thumbs down because "it had no plot."
