Well, both open with exactly the same monologue from their eponymous leads: \"A critic is a warrior, and each of us on the battlefield have the means to glorify or demolish by influencing perception in ways that if heartfelt and truthful, can have far-reaching repercussions.\"\n\nBoth stories then switch to a scene wherein the titular critic discusses a film with a freelance critic he dislikes, who asks whether he's attending a junket where the director will be present. In Clowes', the freelance critic explains that the director \"so perfectly gets how we're really all like these aliens who can never have any meaningful contact with each other because we're all so caught up in our own little self-made realities, you know?\" In LaBeouf's short, she says the director \"so perfectly gets how we're all like these aliens to one another, who never have any meaningful contact with one another because we're all so caught up in our little self-made realities, you know?"@en . . . . . . . . . .
