I guess I will listen if the argument makes sense about why I wouldn't like it. But often I can tell by the reviews that it might be my cup of tea after all, even with bad reviews. I think the web is mostly run by 30-somethings, so I don't expect that age range to have my tastes.

I just watched a movie called Crush with Marcia Gay Harden the other day and it got 1 review on Rotten Tomatoes, that was bad, but I liked the plot, and I like Harden, so I tried it, and I found it very good indeed, at least for my tastes.
