T=E=A=S=E Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 sickel and ebert (or however the fuck you spell their names) get to be "the critics" ? it's like they are the almighty critics of all critics, and i assume they get paid to do what they do, so does anyone know the story about how they became -the critics- everyone looks to for movie reviews etc?

effyoo Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 well, first i'd assume the have a degree in journalism since they first got known for writing a column in a newspaper. after that they probably just made smart career options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrazyLazy Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Originally posted by JohnnyLode They actually use Siskel and Roeper now. Ebert and Roeper? And they were both movie critics for newspapers, I think. Like Chicago or something like that. Then they moved on to their show, that is really one-of-a-kind, or it was when it came out.

Fugazi Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Siskel and Ebert were a great duo. Ebert and Roeper are pretty good themselves. I have a similar taste in movies as Ebert, and I appreciate his comments. He's a skilled writer and movie critic. He writes for the Chicago Sun Times. And as much as you hate it, Tease, he got his job by getting out there, getting an education, and working hard; not by hating on someone else's fame on an internet website.

fermentor666 Posted July 10, 2004 Share Posted July 10, 2004 Ebert pretty much panders to mass opinion, he likes some terrible movies and trashes some really good ones. He is a mainstream critic, and he does it well. I don't agree with much of what he says, but he wrote a review for Jay Carr's (former excellent Boston Globe critic) book of 100 Greatest Movies. It was for Night of the Living Dead and he couldn't have wrote a better review. That gives me a little bit of respect for the man but otherwise I don't agree with most of his points. He's written for the Chicago Sun for a very long time and is one of the most established critics around. That's how he got his job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KING BLING Posted July 11, 2004 Share Posted July 11, 2004 ...Critics get where they are by earning respect in the field in which they work and having marketability. They major in cinema related fields, have a natural obsession with movies, have enough information combined with writing ability to relay opinions well, and carry (in general) ideas that readers agree with... I am into movies and I rely on two primary sources - the local indy paper and rottentomatoes.com. Once you find the critics that think like you do, it can be a helpful tool towards avoiding crap, learning about movies, and discovering movies you might have otherwise avoided. What happened, did someone hate on White Chicks and get you angry? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T=E=A=S=E Posted July 12, 2004 Author Share Posted July 12, 2004 im not going to see white chicks.... "king bling" :rolleyes: and no, i think critics are stupid personally. i dont need someone else to tell me if a movie looks good or not. and in my short time on the planet, most of the time the critics are wrong anyways. if i ever did bother paying attention to what they had to say, id do the exact opposite of what they said. if i see a movie that looks tempting in the commercials, wow, im going to go check it out more than likely. its not that fucking hard.

Guest KING BLING Posted July 12, 2004 Share Posted July 12, 2004 As in the rest of life, if you are confident in who you are anothers opinion won't make you uncomfortable ot hostile (drunken arguments aside)... If you re-read what I wrote you would see that a critic can help you to avoid shitty movies and discover others you may not have given a chance to - the key words being "TO HELP" not to dictate or force. I can think for myself but that doesn't keep me from reading opinionated books...how about you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
