Yes, you can say, "I don't care what critics think! If I like a movie its good!! If I don't, it's crap!"

Well, that may be your philosophy, but it is in no way a method of deriving a film's merit. I'm sure some people think Heidi Klum or George Clooney are ugly people. That doesn't mean they are. A concensus needs to be reached on a film to determine whether its good and bad. And the vast majority of critics (people who love and have studied film, and are therefore more qualified to determine a film's merits in at least its technical sense) gave Lost in Translation a positive rating. Therefore, it is a good film. Whether one individual thinks it reeks doesn't matter. The concensus is it is a good film, so one's listing it as a "worst film ever" can hardly be justified.
I agree with ya to a bit. You have to acknowledge when a lot of people like a flick. It just seems like to me that some critics in hollywood have thier own idea of whats good and whats not and pushes that idea on everyone else. I don't think anythings wrong with a site like rottentomatoes. As long as it doesn't keep you from enjoying a movie that a couple fat republicans might not have dug

On a side note: Starting a post by saying something like "PROOF THAT MARIJUANA MAKES PEOPLE STUPIDER" is only asking for negative replies. Try not to come off so harsh and we might welcome your ideas a little easier. Not flaming ya, just making a suggestion.
