>recognized genuine kino while also having takes that went against narratives (gave Passion of the Christ four stars despite the media calling Mel an antisemite)>his reviews have become eternal memes (I HATED HATED HATED THIS MOVIE)>open, but careful endorsement of weebshit; approved of critic friendly Ghiblishit but also some deep cuts like Royal Space Force and Rintaro's Metropolis>called retarded gamers on their bluff and showed them as uncultured retards in an artless, immature medium>Professional oil driller, colonized many Nubian kweens (Oprah, his wife Chaz, likely many others)Face it, Roger was /our/ critic.
>>214830996This nigga lambasted The Powerpuff Girls movie for being too violent because of "muh 9/11". I'm not even joking.
>>214830996>called retarded gamers on their bluff and showed them as uncultured retards in an artless, immature mediumIf he really wanted to BTFO gamers he should have taken up people on their offers to set up him with gaming equipment and the best games, and then said they were trash from a position of having actually experienced them. Instead he was like "I won't ever play games but they're bad" and came across as an out of touch doddering old man complaining about the kids and their new fangled medium.
>spend your whole life talking shit>get jaw cancerPottery
>>214831338Imagine the seethe if he roasted the fuck out of Silent Hill 2.
>>214831338t. seething /v/edditor
>>214831338And gamers sound like bitter bitch niggers thinking they even needed a fucking film critic to validate their medium to begin with. Literary critics blasted films for not being art, but directors didn't beg authors to validate their work, audiences over time did.Worse, by looking to critics in other mediums for certifying games, it led to the scourge of faggot shit like "narrative games" and "walking sims". You retards are so desperate for intelligentsia approval you're willing to strip games of their essence that makes them GAMES just to prove they're "art".
>>214831528I'm not seething at all. I don't think he's wrong. But it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong if you have no justification for your opinion.
>Conan was bad because MUH HECKING WHITE SUPREMACYWhat a colossal fucking faggot.
>>214830996He had a weird hateboner for horror movies and said that "killers using knives to kill women was supposed to evoke phallic imagery for the sick viewers' pleasure" which I find odd since in most horror movie 90% of the kills are men, in fact some horror movies only have men dying (TCM 2, Christine, Critters 1, 3 and 4, etc)
>>214831606He still gave it 3 stars, nigger brain.>That complaint aside, I enjoyed “Conan.”
>>214831424>bitch on twitter about people wearing American flag shirts on the made up cinco de meyo drinking holiday>someone responds with "what shirt should I wear to celebrate your death you jawless fuck?">"y-y-your mean..."Fuck this retard. His reviews always sucked even going beyond his notoriously bad takes like blue velvet or Conan etc.
>>214831605His justification was that he was 60 years old and diagnosed with mouth cancer. Kind of hard to give a nuanced opinion when retards are coming to you begging you to validate this medium you have no experience in and likely won't because of what limited time you have left.
>>214831672>retarded take isn't retarded because he gave muh arbitrary scoreSo?
>>214831618Most "intellectual" critics feel the need to shit on horror movies to feel smarter
>>214831712>blue velvet or ConanThose movies were garbage, especially Blue Velvet.
>>214831735He didn't say it was bad. If you weren't an illiterate nigger you would see that.
>>214831192And he was right.
>>214831736Movies in general. The same spectrum which allows for the pretentious films Lynch made allows for the idiotic slop Michael Bay made. But most film critics dont actually like movies even when they say they do, they just like their own idea of what movies should be.
What about Gene Siskel.
>>214831758Agreed. Most of Lynch's films are. But crying because an actress gets slapped around is proto reddit faggotry>>214831781You're the monkey who can't read beyond the arbitrary score this chinless corpse assigned to films to understand the guy was a retard with retarded takes
>>214830996>>called retarded gamers on their bluff and showed them as uncultured retards in an artless, immature mediumin the 80-00s sure but 2015 it became slop anyway>>214831618he's got a point tho literally man killers are overdonefemale killers make my pp hards
>>214830996His review of Freddy Got Fingered, and his back-and-forths with Vinnie Gallo have cemented his legacy for me. Two thumbs up.
>>214831837Pretentious jew, much more than Ebert. >>214831851You're the stupid nigger who can't read
>>214831837he was great in that episode of Larry Sanders where John Ritter is seething about one of Siskel's reviews
>>214830996>>214831338Most video games are shit but Red Dead and Mass Effect are unironically better than some movies.GTA 4 was pretty fucking kino too, all the other GTA games are a joke tho.Honestly those are the only 3 video games I would put at the same level as film.
>>214831878>That last phraseLMAO, holy shit that's some 00s fedora tipping m'lady shit. This is the retard i'm supposed to believe was a legendary critic
>>214831924I hope you're not talking about RDR2. The plot in that is absolutely stupid as fuck.
>>214830996I honest to God don't understand why the fuck was this moron ever taken seriously. In his review of The Graduate he called it "comedy of the year" and implied it's a light-hearted movie for families to go and have mindless fun. I have no fuckin clue how empty your head must be to come up with such interpretation. It feels like reading some /tv/ shitpost but that was this mongoloid's genuine opinion after seeing TG for the first time.Then 20 years later he said he "matured enough" to see how horrible this movie is for objectifying women and that main character is le rapist creep, obviously just parroting some feminist talking points but without even spending 3 minutes to think how they fit describing this particular movie. Seriously, I cannot fathom how someone so unbelievably dumb and at the same time hideously ugly could have made a career in any field, let alone film reviews.
>>214831878What a fag. Big tits are way more interesting and rewarding than the inane drivel coming out of a woman’s suck hole.

>>214831877In fairness, literally every critic hated Freddy Got Fingered. Took decades for anyone to see that it was being retarded on purpose.>and his back-and-forths with Vinnie Gallo He gave the trimmed down cut of Brown Bunny a positive review. That said, Gallo had some S tier zingers.>Roger Ebert has the fat body of an Atlantic slave trader>>214831924>Red Dead and Mass Effect are unironically better than some movies.lol, lmao>GTA All of them, including 4, are just reheated movies and TV shows, often praised by journos and "gamers" who don't watch enough movies or think reference = humor.
>>214831424Woah I totally forgot about his jaw cancer. Horrifying but good on him for being such a trooper.
>>214831979Roger was an unc when saw Conan.Back when he was a young alcoholic partying with Russ Meyer, he would've agreed with you.
All critics are faggots and anyone listening to them in a faggot, you have eyes and ears, make your own opinions cucks.
>>214832042what a shit cope stfu guy is an idiot get over it
>>214831192The movie Kick Ass made him seethe harder than any other film besides Blue Velvet
>>214830996>>called retarded gamers on their bluff and showed them as uncultured retards in an artless, immature mediumHideo motherfucking Kojima. Checkmate eberttrannies.
>>214832105Seething. Ebert got to fondle big tits and you didn't.
>>214832144>Koomjimboget outta hereHe's like Tarantino but for special ed kids
>>214830996he had some based takes
>>214832144/TV/ hates him.
>>214832144>games made by a wannabe hollywood director too chickenshit to actually do it but instead stays in vidya where can progressively make his games more like movies proves muh is vidya is le artAs always, you fags wouldn't know "art" if it was a dilator stuck in your gash wound.
>>214831924id say uncharted is better than most adventure blockbusters
>>214832216>id say unchartedlmaoliterally all of those games look like they're manufactured from/ripping off other action movies. Try again.
This nigga was ahead of his time, and i mean that because he was doing the extremely cringe male feminist shtick every nu-male started trying in 2014 to get pussy like 30-40 years earlier.
>>214832144Cringe
>>214830996Confession time: I used to watch movies dated to when he was still alive just to read his reviews and learn. To see what he saw. I respected his opinion and sought them out, and he did help me get more interested in film and film analysis. He was a ShitLib with a black wife. Worse though, he was intelligent. Put all three of those together, and somehow Conan becomes a film with heavy overtones white supremacy just because Jane’s Earle Jones played the heavy; what a self-hating, bitch made, overly sensitive complaint. Typical White guilt Lib shit, where he’s been so zapped that he at once has no sense of his own history while feeling it necessary to reflexively hate his own skin, to pass that on to others of his own people. Fucking sad. Others were better though; I liked him calling Kevin McCalister from “Home Alone” a “sanctimonious little worm” and I liked that he was willing to rewatch films if somebody told him he missed the point in his initial review. The two that come to mind are “Groundhog Day” and “The Big Lebowski.”The best I took REbert was one thing: when watching a film, go into it wanting to enjoy that movie, wanting it to succeed. That way, the film itself has to actively work to make you dislike it.
hes alot like Christgau is to music, so who would be the Scaruffi of film?
>>214832333 (checked)His Spirits Within review is both retarded and based where basically acknowledges the plot sucks but still gives it 3 and a half stars because the CG was that cutting edge in 2001. He basically reviewed it like a tech demo, which about as good as you can call the film, and for the time, it did.https://www.rogerebert.com/reviews/final-fantasy-the-spirits-within-2001
>>214832392>so who would be the Scaruffi of film?Gregg Turkington
>>214831595>>214831338Games are not art, but (most) games have art in them. I have a soft spot for game (and anime desu) artbooks. I love seeing how individual artists engage with the world and characters, and how through iterations they arrive at what's in the finished product. It's super fascinating.
>>214832515That much is true, there's music games that you can easily point to as objectively great. It's just that the thing that separates games from other mediums--game-play and interactivity--muddies the argument and arguably separates games from other authored mediums like books, films, paintings, and songs.
>>214830996Get real nigga. That faggot was reddit incarnate.
>>214832392Armond White
>>214832252Oh? Interesting>>214832515>>214831595/TV/ is probably the most pretentious board on 4chan honestly.
>>214830996Came up in a time largely before the internet and social media.There are modern minds like his, but will get digitally shouted down, harassed, and doxed in a day if their hot take hurts some loser's feelings.Ebert's day, people had to put in effort to get publicly mad, and any reaction flowing into the Chicago Sun Times would be a relative slow trickle.
>>214831736rewatching 70s Siskel & Ebert At The Movies; almost every episode has some extremely low budget slasher made by a pervert. I can see why they would eventually hate them all
>>214833393>70s Siskel & Ebert At The MoviesKeep in mind Roger was also a massive drunk when those episodes were made.
>>214831618>TCM 2Which two?
>>214831192he always had weird takes on kids movies, seemed to think that anything that wasn't sunshine and rainbows the whole way through was too much for them
>>214830996What was his argument for games not being art again, exactly? I seem to recall that he loved Cosmology of Kyoto.
He is a jew
>>214833695pretentious faggotry
>>214833700I already knew he was based, but double based? now we're talking
>>214833612The 80s one, only male characters die, even in the deleted scenes with Joe Bob Briggs and the football hooligans.
>>214830996>likes pearl harborno, he's not.
>>214830996>(gave Passion of the Christ four stars despite the media calling Mel an antisemite)One of few, at first. Cancel culture positively wrecked on Passion.Then it became a monster hit. Soulless Hollywood and critics and journalists jumped on the praise bandwagon.Soulless. The nature of Hollywood.>>214833695>What was his argument for games not being art againGames may have art in them, but as a media form, are not art per se.
>>214831424Protip: Don’t eat black pussy.
>>214831924>This video game with a terrible cartoonish plot loosely based itself on a bunch of western movies is better than most movies
>>214830996He talked siskel into giving broken arrow thumbs down
>>214832392the scaruffi of film is already scaruffi, he rates and reviews films toohttps://www.scaruffi.com/cinema/best100.html
no, armond white is the only /tv/ approved criticthe rest are all rats
>>214832138He seethed hardest at Caligula which is the ultimate sign of a pleb.
>>214830996His inane criticisms of Blue Velvet soured me on him, but his warm endorsment of Human Nature redeemed him.
