Good criticism isn't just about "this is shit" or "this is good" - it's an evaluation - an open discussion about a piece of work. I for one am always interested in what someone else thinks about a movie/design work. In the hands of an expert i truly respect, whole new dimensions of thought and insight can be brought into my appreciation of something, which i had never thought about before.
Like fuck dude - the only reason anyone EVER makes a film, writes a book, designs posters/websites, does art - is so other people can appreciate it. The free-flow of culture. But then you go around bitchin that not everyone is appreciative of ur skillz. Dont be such a pussy. If a critic is obviously stupid and doesnt get ur shit, then don't worry about. But if all you want is for people to congratulate u on everything u do, then you're gonna be trapped in ur pathetic, ego wanking off to urself in the mirror.
If you're confident in ur work, and secure in ur reasoning; then u shud be able to stand up to the toughest critics. But fuckin at least appreciate that shit. If a critic hates ur work - that can sometime be a good thing, depending on who the critic is and the values ur work is being asessed on. Other times, ur work really is shit, and u need to be woken up out of ur self delusion.
jeebus, i sound way harsh. no offence :)
