18. Which is very strange for me. I love movies and TV shows.

I'm always liking things a lot more than the critics do. I've been accused of liking everything and having no taste because of it. But it's not true. I don't like everything. I didn't like Battlefield Earth, I didn't like Zontar: The Thing from Venus, and I didn't like Emily in Paris.

Beyond that, I can't think of any other movie I didn't like. There may be one or two, but I can't think of them offhand. So it's not like I go around hating on movies and TV shows. It's just that this was really crap.

By way of comparison, just watch Emily, and then watch Upright. Decide for yourself which one is great and which one is trash.
