What is film critic "quote-whoring"?
I don't think the term 'quote-whoring' is a very official term, but there are certain film critics who you'll see love everything. They love every movie out there. You can always count on them to love the movie. You can always count on the exclamation point, and frequently, the quote-whoring critics are putting them in themselves. These are people who the studios trust; they can always count on them for a rave. You as a viewer should probably not take what these critics say seriously. It undermines what they do. But they have a different relationship to the studio. You're never going to see that from a film critic in "The New York Times." You're never going to see that from "The LA Times." You are going to see quote-whoring from some little outlets that want some press. It happens.
