This is what he said about Star wars fans, Superhero fans and video games.
>A lot of fans are basically fans of fandom itself. It's all about them. They have mastered the "Star Wars" or "Star Trek" universes or whatever, but their objects of veneration are useful mainly as a backdrop to their own devotion. Anyone who would camp out in a tent on the sidewalk for weeks in order to be first in line for a movie is more into camping on the sidewalk than movies.
>Extreme fandom may serve as a security blanket for the socially inept, who use its extreme structure as a substitute for social skills. If you are Luke Skywalker and she is Princess Leia, you already know what to say to each other, which is so much safer than having to ad-lib it. Your fannish obsession is your beard. If you know absolutely all the trivia about your cubbyhole of pop culture, it saves you from having to know anything about anything else. That's why it's excruciatingly boring to talk to such people: They're always asking you questions they know the answer to.
On superhero fans
>"Comic-Con nerds will have multiple orgasms," predicts critic David Edelstein inNew Yorkmagazine, confirming something I had vaguely suspected about them. If he is correct, it's time for desperately needed movies to re-educate nerds in the joys of sex
On video games >Video games are not and will never be art
Everything hes saying is correct and you already know this
Henry Jackson
Cringe incel. Go post about how Captain Marvel is gonna flop while it breaks records.
Ian Roberts
Unironically based.
Sebastian Martinez
>Reminder Roger Ebert is a trash critic and here's why Why did you follow this up with reasons for why he's great?
Eli King
>REEEE WHY DOESN'T HE SUCK CORPORATE COCK LIKE I DO
Imagine unironically being angry that a film critic judges movies based on artistic merit rather than pandering to plebs.
Jaxson White
>Reminder I remembered now that I have wanted to listen to one of his commentaries. Gonna watch Casablanca and have a good time, thanks for the reminder friend.
Gavin Ward
youtu.be/ALFpRJKnK2U Reminder that Siskel and Ebert knew who the real villains were.
Kevin Reed
pretty sure he reneged on the video game stuff.
Wyatt Cruz
based ebert speaking the truth
Henry Hughes
What about that is wrong in any way?
Adrian Ross
I thought he might be a trash critic too until you posted those quotes
Landon Anderson
Counterpoint: the last bit of his Human Centipede review >I am required to award stars to movies I review. This time, I refuse to do it. The star rating system is unsuited to this film. Is the movie good? Is it bad? Does it matter? It is what it is and occupies a world where the stars don't shine
Blake Rogers
Spot on for fandom and nerdshit, dead wrong about video games.
He gave my buddy's movie a positive review He's also dead, so there's no reason to speak ill of him So he gets a pass from me
Bentley Powell
>He gave my buddy's movie a positive review Really? What movie?
Benjamin Harris
Absolutely based. Cry more babyman retard
Noah Lopez
>>Video games are not and will never be art
lol he´s right, videogames are virtual toys
Easton Rivera
He said he isn't qualified to talk about games and also said that there might be some game in the future that qualifies as art. There is a great GDC talk about this "An Apology for Roger Ebert".
I really recommend watching it for the topic of games (not) being art.
Asher Russell
The only wrong statement there is the video games one and that is because the statement itself is fucking retarded and insulting to Graphic Designers. It's just his age getting to him because he can't adjust to newer forms of art. Everything else he said there is spot on, why so mad, OPenis?
Brody Fisher
Absolutely savage. Say what you want about him or his taste, but there are no critics like him nowadays--they're all pussies and conformist faggots.
Brody Butler
>they're all pussies and conformist faggots That's literally Ebert who never took a strong or radical stance on anything
Nolan Diaz
Wether games are art or not has absolutely nothing to do with graphic designers
Julian Lopez
>took a strong or radical stance on anything Of course he did. Even the OP quotes his famous "video games are art" and there were plenty of times when he went completely against the critics and public trend.
they were on cable tv, it was required to have a level of professionalism back then
David Clark
>"Comic-Con nerds will have multiple orgasms," predicts critic David Edelstein inNew Yorkmagazine, confirming something I had vaguely suspected about them. If he is correct, it's time for desperately needed movies to re-educate nerds in the joys of sex
I do not even understand what he is saying here.
Alexander Young
He's absolutely right on all accounts.
Michael Robinson
Yeah because you're a virgin
Anthony Anderson
How is that difficult to understand?
Logan Wood
>That week before Roger passed away, I would see him and he would talk about having visited this other place. I thought he was hallucinating. I thought they were giving him too much medication. But the day before he passed away, he wrote me a note: >"this is all an elaborate hoax"
>he was talking about this world, this place. He said it was all an illusion. I thought he was confused. But he was not confused.
He savaged multiple genre movies in the 80s that are now regarded as gold standard classics. You could have brought up any of those but you went the bait route instead. I suppose Roger would commend you for playing to your audience. It is pretty funny how poorly his views on "fandom" have aged tho.
Brayden Gomez
was he redpilled, and, dare I say it, /our guy/?
Benjamin Miller
He was based and cancerpilled
Jacob Cook
>funny how poorly his views on "fandom" have aged
how so
Landon Cooper
If they're having orgasms, clearly they understand the joys of sex already?
Daniel Powell
He was a trash critic but that's absolutely not the reason why, he was actually correct there, you dumb man child. If you want to know why he sucked, look up Armond's opinion on him.
Jaxson James
Roger Ebert on Emma Watson in Chamber of Secrets
>In the new movie, Harry (Daniel Radcliffe, a little taller and deeper-voiced) returns with his friends Ron Weasley (Rupert Grint) and Hermione Granger (Emma Watson, in the early stages of babehood).
Holy fucking based. He also forshadowed marvel quip cancer. From his Ironman review.
>It's prudent, I think, that Favreau positions the rest of the characters in a more serious vein. The supporting cast wisely does not try to one-up him. Gwyneth Paltrow plays Pepper Potts as a woman who is seriously concerned that this goofball will kill himself. Jeff Bridges makes Obadiah Stane one of the great superhero villains by seeming plausibly concerned about the stock price. Terrence Howard, as Col. Rhodes, is at every moment a conventional straight arrow. What a horror show it would have been if they were all tuned to Tony Stark's sardonic wave length. We'd be back in the world of "Swingers" (1996) which was written by Favreau.
Matthew Jones
He is right. Star Wars and capeshit are both trash. Both fandoms are retarded and autistic.
Andrew Lewis
Literally who?
Brody White
is this photoshopped or a real picture?
Carson Bell
What are you babbling about, you brain dead freak?
Brody Turner
The Revenant.
Bentley James
Why's he wrong? Only a manchild would be insulted at what he said.
Eli Young
He was dead before The Revenant.
Samuel Robinson
>second-rate movie critics shoehorns armchair psychology into his work
yikes
Camden Reyes
A good example
Robert Carter
could they not at least have taped his lips shut so he doesn't have this extremely disconcerting floppy boneless jaw dangling around
Joshua Collins
>video games are art because they have visuals yikes
Jeremiah Fisher
That post reeks of manchild trying to sound smart to deflect criticism towards his escapism haven.
So anyone who expresses an opinion you disagree with is a 'trash critic?"
I'm going to out on a limb here, and assume that when the facts don't fit your narrative you shout "FAKE NEWS!"
Ryan Richardson
wtf i like ebert now
Thomas Powell
cool, i was in the mood for something like this. thanks
Connor Howard
shut the fuck up and just fap
Henry Cruz
Seething tranny detected
Hunter Davis
This
Elijah Lewis
What the fuck is going on with that jaw
Parker Bell
Ebert was a fat faggot but he did write Beyond the Valley of the Dolls which is a masterpiece!!!FACT!!!
Angel Thompson
Should have put a plate in there and used it as an ashtray!!!FACT!!!
John Jenkins
It was removed because of cancer.
Ryder Cruz
>the person who designs McDonald’s monopoly pieces creates art since it’s visual
Matthew Fisher
based cringe
Carson Green
he was right if you care this much about capeshit you are an insufferable faggot who should be put into a camp for fat fucking retards who need to be executed
Nolan Johnson
But he's spot on right about all these things you stupid capeshitter
Owen Lee
Based Ebert.
What exactly among those things is supposed to make him a trash critic?
Parker Fisher
>Video games are not and will never be art opinion discarded
Austin Gonzalez
>Video games are not and will never be art factually wrong, unless he doesn't consider board games a piece of art or any other games. they all have artistic value and combine many existing artforms into a new one.
Dylan Bennett
>>Video games are not and will never be art Y-you'll eat those words.....Sony is BASED FOREVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
