HrmMost of them aren't as funny as I remember. I was sure it was a collection of unintentional comedy genius; in fact I appear to have collected a few comments which are vaguely amusing if you know the subject of the review intimately and enjoy sneering at the less well-informed. Anyway:
Seminal cyberpunk classic 'nothing new':

'Steve Albini is a close friend of mine':

Reviewer explains critical plot twist in detail before commenting '[it was] completely unexpected in the cinema when it appeared':

I'll post some more later.

The Deer Hunter:
"Look, I was in 'Nam and this movie captures nothing but a few tears from weepy card burning hippies who used to throw eggs on us back in the day."
Please also note that Forbidden Planet and Taxi Driver are both the "BEST MOVIE EVER".
