New Poll - To crit or not to crit
Mon, 21 July 2003, 03:37 pmI don't know whether this suggestion was prompted by a recent production...?
"You see a show;you have friends in it. You think it was crap. Do you congratulate everyone and publish nothing? Yes/No. "
There are probably other options not catered for in this poll, but which may bear discussion here.

I tend to take *all* reviewers with a very large rock of salt, given that they express a single opinion that can vary wildly from the majority of opinions about a show, either in one direction or another.
I personally find Geoff Gibbs much, much harsher about shows he dislikes that other local critics, and do think he holds a tendency to write overly savage reviews when simply negative ones would do. But hey, that's just my opinion.
There's a big argument I think towards not printing negative reviews at all, since there's little worth in them beyond being able to write some really amusing and witty variations on "this show's a bit crap". After all, why waste valuable column inches on something unworthy of attention when you could use that space to rave about a genuinely good show elsewhere in town?
