Roger once replied on one of my comments on his blog. I was so happy 😀
And I still enjoy reading his reviews. Watched the mummy again this weekend so had to read the review. Which contained some bangers like:
“ Look, art this isn't. Great trash, it isn't. Good trash, it is.”
“ There is hardly a thing I can say in its favor, except that I was cheered by nearly every minute of it. I cannot argue for the script, the direction, the acting or even the mummy, but I can say that I was not bored and sometimes I was unreasonably pleased. ”
And he read all the comments on his blog posts. Seeing how that blog post alone has over 600 comments, that must have taken some time.
I asked, since I'm from Belgium, where I should start with Simenon and he gave some tips. And yes, I did enjoy reading some of Simenons novels since then :)
I miss his reviews but well, still have a ton of old reviews to enjoy.
