If a review of eating breakfast for dinner is what it takes for you to come out and praise some of the other posts here, I think it's done it's job.

Reed: "I hate shallow people" Jay:"Why?" Reed: "It's just they don't appreciate things, they aren't educating themselves." Jay: "What do they have to do, what do you recommend?" Reed: "I... got nothing?" Not as much lacking evidence, as simply lacking ANY sort of reasoning that you can convey so that your views will make sense.
Reed: “I hate shallow people”
Jay:”Why?”
Reed: “It’s just they don’t appreciate things, they aren’t educating themselves.”
Jay: “What do they have to do, what do you recommend?”
Reed: “I… got nothing?”

I'd rather be entertained than have someone rehash the plot. It's hard to talk about new movies without spoiling them. Greg did have specific points about the movie after the dinner preamble, so his review wasn't total garbage if that was what you were implying. With that said, I do agree with you Ryan that some people do have a knack of discussing a movie by bringing up information that is not obvious to many and that is relevant to the movie being discussed. I've only written one review for FilmJunk, and it would surely have been refused for publication anywhere else. But I whimsically wrote it because I knew no other site would have a review like it. I mean, who reviews a foreign film without understanding the dialog? I'm not sure if Sean and Jay have ever declined to publish anyone's submission. But Ryan, I'll take your advice to heart when I write my next review. I've already been criticized by Henrik for not backing up my views on Cantankerous with evidence. Maybe it's time for FilmJunk to get serious and compete with Cahiers du cinema. I’m sure others will jump to Greg’s defence, but let me say that I’m a fan of Greg’s reviewing style.

I understand that different people write differently, but is there no editorial process that says "maybe you should spend less time blogging about your brinner and more time talking about the movie"?

It's like a review is only worth writing if the dinner (or Brinner, yikes!) is better than the film! I think I would go for chicken fingers before french toast myself - however, cancelling on going to see a movie (for free!) to do your taxes? What a fucking dork!
