Yesterday I wrote of a Twitter account I’d set up inspired by a family member. This light bulb moment following their response of “It’s about a woman called Mrs Miniver” to my question “What’s the movie ‘Mrs Miniver’ about?”
I loved how uninformative the review was. This gave me the idea to write a few reviews of various films, giving no tangible indication of the writer’s moviegoing experience.
As I want want the reviewer to appear disinterested, with their mind already down the pub, the critiques are all deliberately vague. A strategy, I think, enhanced by the 140 character restrictions of a tweet.
Here are a few examples.
