What the fuck was up with Ebert? His opinions were so consistently

He wasnt a mouthful thats for sure

he was a holdover from the last generation of cinema

>>85159973
Being controversial is why he had a career.

>>85160004
ROBERTO!

>>85160039
Perhaps the same could be said of all critics.

Anyway.

>>85159973
his review of kazaam is hilarious. he was so angry about it.

>>85159973
He was a much better writer than a film critic.

he knew video games are for children
that makes him a good critic already

>>85159973
tf is going on with this niggas face

>>85159973
Don't forget he's going to be remembered as a luddite retard who said video games couldn't be art.

I almost feel bad for him, he probably cared a lot about his legacy.

>>85160911
Every grown-up knows that

>>85159973
He was weak-jawed.

I get nostalgic as fuck whenever I hear that movie guy's voice who did the TV commercials in the 90s saying "Siskel and Ebert give it two thumbs way up!"

>>85159973
His review of Brazil was stupid and lazy.

>>85161004
You're talking to a teen who is not used to being around actual adults, so he'll scream and shout that video games are for kids even though everyone already knows it. It's pretty much like a little kid kicking and screaming that he's not a baby.

He's the Christgau of films
as pleb as it gets

>>85161004
>>85160911
luddite retards detected

i genuinely feel bad for you, living in the 21st century and willfully ignoring a whole category of art

>>85161079
Don't bother responding to people like that. Though, you do make a good point.

>>85159973
slack-jawed yokel

>>85160911
>>85161004
if video games are for children why is there an M rating.

>>85161228
lul. No, he doesn't, Redditor.

>>85161266
Not an argument.

>>85161264
Marketing

>>85161313
Here's an argument: get a fucking life instead of using a simulator Mr. Bidio Game

What is a man?

>>85159973
He was a bretty good reviewer. I give him two thumbs up.

>>85161033
you seem triggered. glad you agree video games are for children though

>>85161549
>>85161654
Not an argument.

>>85160985
He was absolutely right about this though.

>>85161764
lul. No, he wasn't, Redditor.

What an awful thread.

No critic can be clairvoyant, they simply try to explain why the film worked in the way that they understood it. He articulated his opinions well enough, but often failed to understand what the director was going for. I prefered him to his contemporaries because he could write.

Mm.

>>85159973
Some jew intern should write his stuff or is already.

>>85160985
This is fact

>>85162504
Indeed, it's fact that he cemented his legacy as a luddite retard.

This desu. What an utter moron.

>>85162504
You'd be surprised to know that he retracted his statement when they gave him some Japanese visual novels to play. No I'm not kidding.

>>85159973

Is it a horror movie or does the movie contain arousing scenes of sexual violence?

It's a zero.

Does the movie star Jennifer Jason Leigh? It gets an extra star UNLESS she gets killed or treated poorly.

Does the movie star Jennifer Lopez? Extra star again.

The guy was a hardcore SJW who, along with with bean pole butt buddy, campaigned actively and aggressively against the horror genre. He was so committed to the cause that he married a fat black woman.

Source?

>video games

>>85160985
Only manchildren got up in arms about him 'insulting' their toys.

Video games aren't art. They're money wasters for manchildren who don't have the balls to man up and marry a perfectly fine 36 year old girl in her prime.

Art is splattered menstrual blood on a canvas.

You know this isn't going to work.

Go cry about grandpa on your containment board, /v/irgin.

>>85162820
>IP count still didn't go up

>>85162769
Shut up manchild and grow up. Stop being a mysoginerd.

Piss Christ is art. Interracial porn is art. Pissoir is art. Capeshit is art. Video games aren't are not art. Become sophisticated already.

Bloodborne and Witcher 2 and 3 are more kino than anything hollywood has shit out the last 10 years.

>>85159973
His schtick was judging films against what they tried to be. Try to be a stupid summer flick that's light entertainment, get stars. Try to be a deep meaningful political thriller but be more style than substance and have no message beyond "tyranny is bad", get shat on.

>>85163027
What's wrong with Witcher 1?

Eberts based unlike this board

>>85163160
It doesnt have the same kino feel as the sequels. Too rough and clunky.

He's easily one of the most overrated reviewers ever

Bloodborne is the fucking definition of Kino, it's insane

>>85161079
Lol

>>85163245
Agreed. He was only popular because he was able to get a unique show, not that he was any good at his job. Critics are a worthless profession anyway.

>>85162546

Horror movies are pretty bad. Dumb cliches with bad acting, worse writing.

>>85163185
this
ebert is the only reviewer I hold in esteem, he was a good guy. He did get it wrong once in a while, but most of the time he was 4/4

>>85161549
Yes, I can easily fly dragons and slay hordes of zombies irl. You've certainly activated these almonds.
