Okay, here is my sharing about the “two thumbs up nyt” experience:
So, I saw this phrase, “two thumbs up,” floating around, kept popping up in movie reviews and stuff, especially connected to the New York Times, you know, the big newspaper? And I got curious. What’s the deal with “two thumbs up” and why is the NYT always mentioned with it? I decided to find out more about it.
First, I did some digging online. Turns out, “two thumbs up” is a pretty common way to say something is really good, like, super good. Movies, books, food, whatever. If it gets two thumbs up, it’s worth checking out. Seems it all started with these two film critics, Siskel and Ebert, a long time ago. They used to review movies on TV, and at the end, they’d give a thumbs up or down. Two thumbs up meant they both really liked the movie.
But what about the New York Times? Well, I found out they don’t actually use a “thumbs up” system in their reviews. But their reviews are super important, you know? People really pay attention to what they say. So, even though they don’t literally give two thumbs up, if a movie gets a great review in the NYT, it’s kind of like getting two thumbs up from the public, because everyone knows their reviews are a big deal.
Then I started looking at some recent NYT movie reviews. I read a bunch of them, just to see what kind of movies they like. I even watched a few that they gave really good reviews to. One of them was this action movie, “The Killer.” The reviewer, I can’t remember her name, but she really loved it. She talked about the opening scene being amazing, how the main character is this super cool hitman. It sounded awesome, so I watched it. And you know what? It was pretty great! I totally get why she liked it so much. Maybe the movie will get a “two thumbs up” from the public just because of this NYT’s review.
After that, I tried another movie they recommended. It was a different kind of movie, not my usual thing, but I figured I’d give it a shot. And it was okay, you know? Not my favorite, but not bad. It made me realize that even though the NYT has good taste, it’s not always going to match my own, which is fine.
My conclusion
- “Two thumbs up” means something is really, really good.
- It comes from these old movie critics, Siskel and Ebert.
- The New York Times doesn’t use thumbs up, but their reviews are a big deal, so a good review from them is kind of like getting two thumbs up.
- Reading their reviews and watching some of the movies they liked was a fun experiment.
- It’s a good reminder that everyone has different tastes, even movie critics.
So that’s my “two thumbs up nyt” journey. It was a fun little rabbit hole to go down. I learned some stuff, watched some movies, and got a better understanding of what all the fuss is about. Now, when I see “two thumbs up,” I’ll know a bit more about what it means and where it comes from, especially when it’s connected to the New York Times.
