What a loss. RIP

 

[Buster Bluth]

This sucks. He was the GOAT at what he did and I agreed with him 95% of the tine.

RIP. He was the first person that got me thinking about film as an art form. Today is a sad day.

 

[UmphreakDomer]

thumbs up to Mr. Ebert. The balcony is forever open. RIP.

Still remember watching S&E as a kid. Turned me into the movie snob I am today. RIP

RIP. He gets a thumbs up from me. Great career.

"Yes I'm Siskel. Yes I'm Ebert. And you're getting two thumbs up." - Bloodhound Gang, The Bad Touch

You didn't even have to know anything about movies or movie reviewing to know about those two. Transcended film critiquing.

RIP.

On Freddy Got Fingered:

This movie doesn't scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn't below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn't deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.

On Saving Silverman:

Here's a critical rule of thumb: You know you're in trouble when you're reduced to praising a movie for its absence of fart jokes...

In response to Rob Schneider trashing another critic for not having a Pulitzer:

As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie [Deuce Bigalow] sucks.

On Thor

I know aliens from other worlds are required to arrive in New Mexico, but why stay there?
