Re: Vent thread

Ehhh. I agree in principle, but at the same time, I think movie critics in general are pretty bad at doing that stuff. They kinda deserve a lot of the criticism.

By "that stuff", do you mean making it clear where the judging of technicals ends and where personal opinion comes in? If so, I can agree there. Their word is not law and should not be treated as such.

The funny thing is that the two film critics I trust the most (the late Roger Ebert and someone who doesn't review in English) both can take pretty lightly on the technical side of things - and yet, almost always have verbalised my feelings on films I've watched.

But outside of the two of them, I'd agree.

I miss Roger Ebert. I got to meet him once. Fascinating guy. We had a really interesting conversation about Buster Keaton.

I liked Ebert because he tended to try to consider what a movie was trying to do and then evaluate how successful it was in that regard. He wasn't automatically dismissive of action, animation, scifi, kids' movies, and so on. He was aslo fucking hilarious sometimes (see: his review of North).

Siskel and Roper came off as critics who mostly only like certain types of movies and judge films based on whether they fit into those types.
