What happened to this guy? Why does he look like that?
Jaxson Cook
>4 stars rating retarded as fuck then again, all rating systems are retarded
you should only tell your audience: is this movie worth watching? yes or no (depending on the quality). Period.
Chase Richardson
He didn't review The Shining?
Jose Evans
Cancer
Henry Lewis
>full metal jacket >two stars fucking pussy
Christopher Howard
>Stanley Kubrick's "A Clockwork Orange" is an ideological mess, a paranoid right-wing fantasy masquerading As an Orwellian warning. It pretends to oppose the police state and forced mind control, but all it really does is celebrate the nastiness of its hero, Alex.
Ebert seemed to have a thing about fascism returning - he gave Fight Club the same rating for more-or-less the same reasons.
Leo Gray
for movies 5 star rating is the best, 1 to 10 scale is pointless.
Isaiah Lee
roger ebert was always a huge faggot about films featuring violence against women. watch/read his review of blue velvet . .
Easton Green
It doesn't deserve more, pleb. If anything take a half star from it and give it to Eyes Wide Shut
Jaxson Cook
really? how did he write Beyond Valley of the Dolls with that attitude.
Brandon Taylor
Well he was right, wasn't he?
Anthony Hughes
And he was right.
Kevin Ramirez
Except Alex is never celebrated.
Michael Powell
It's his best movie.
Alex is a victim of society and sexual abuse from his parole officer and the jail guards. He was probably abused since childhood.
listen to this shit. he has no idea what he's talking about. rossellini read the (full) script and told david lynch "i have to play this role." afterwards, they became lovers and moved in together, this review is one of the low points of career. he has no fucking idea what he's talking about but adopts a supercilious tone and dismisses the film.
Joseph Rivera
Why didn't he just wear a mask.
Gabriel Bell
4 star rating literally has 10 options. fuck five star ratings
Isaac Wright
you were an alright man Roger
too bad Vincent Gallo gave you cancer
Kevin Jenkins
How, categorically, can you indicate to your audience that you preferred one movie over another when you both recommended them. I'd recommend someone watch Killer's Kiss and I'd recommend someone watch 2001, but it is needless to say that there is a massive difference in the quality between the two movies.
Carson Cox
because it would be extremely painful
Jason White
>Liked The Phantom Menace >Liked Home Alone 3
into the garbage he goes.
James Diaz
i hate this fucker , at least he died suffering like a miserable fucking dog
Adam Carter
THEY DIDN'T HAVE FLATTOPS IN ANCIENT ROME
Joseph Campbell
the creepiest part of ebert's face is that he didn't actually have a mouth, that's literally just a piece of skin hanging off the end of his face and the darkness you're seeing in-between his lips is the fabric of his black turtleneck
Nathan Foster
Originally he rated A Clockwork Orange zero stars because it scared him too much.
Christian Evans
seems pretty fair desu senpai
Blake Long
Medical stuff plus he was a beta man with a beta soul, such that he settled down with a rather fat ugly black woman later in life, who he felt very lucky to be with.
I don't want to be a total dick though. Ebert was a good film critic and the world was more interesting with him in it, although he was at his best in dialogue with Siskel in /verbal/ combat, as opposed to his large body of written reviews, which I continued to follow for some years after the S&E format shit the bed with Siskel's death.
I seem to remember a few episodes, just at the dawn of the god-awful twitter-sphere, where Ebert lashed out at people or made untoward comments, which were correctly interpreted by some as a real dude with no jaw left just not giving a fuck anymore, having an understandable lack of concern for niceties, and just telling it like it is.
Nathan Rogers
The irony of your comment is that this simple "up-or-down" paradigm of film criticism is precisely what Siskel and Ebert are most strongly identified with (in addition to their more nuanced columns etc), and you don't even seem to have appreciated that.
Jose Perry
This. The man gave a higher score to Godfather 3 than Godfather 2. Think hard about that.
Carter Lee
Wow, what a pretentious toff.
Thomas Martin
>a beta man with a beta soul gave him cancer
?
Noah King
I'm so glad that hack is dead. Literally the worst thing to happen to film criticism
Owen Carter
Sentence based review scoring is best
Logan Phillips
Think of all the movies that were clearly much worse than these were yet got higher scores.
Paranormal Activity got 3 and a half stars, meaning it's better than Spartacus, A Clockwork Orange, and Full Metal Jacket.
>muh rating movies for what they intended to accomplish Some people's opinions stand the test of time. Others don't have such opinions.
William Richardson
reminder ant-ebert posters are just jackass fans butthurt about a tweet
Matthew Wright
Or gamers triggered about him saying they're not "art".
Levi Baker
forgot about that. based ebert desu
Wyatt Thomas
Well he was not quite a mop and not quite a puppet
James Evans
>Paranormal Activity got 3 and a half stars that'd better be out of ten
Oliver Flores
NOPE
Nolan Miller
I don't get why people get mad that games aren't art. There's aesthetically nice scenes, but they're just games, nothing wrong with that.
I feel like the author of that post started off with good intentions but then couldn't find a reasonable counter argument so put the first thing that came to his head.
