    I think this is also why I don't do Letterboxd reviews. I remember watching Anora and all throughout the screening and right after it, there was someone posting about their review or talking about how they're going to the rate the film, etc.

  • @davidwalter2002

    Even when they disagreed with each other, they never became nasty. There might have been a touch of snark, but even then, you could tell they respected each other and each others' opinions. And their critiques struck a balance between their feelings (as discussed in this video) and cinema techniques in general, even going so far as to bring up specific trends of the individual directors. They were smart, good-humored, articulate, and to the point in all their critiques. Even if I disagreed with them on a certain film, I always learned something from them. We'll not see their like again.

    Advice still relevant today. Wish more movie reviewers, especially those on here, took this advice and offered more critical insight without fear of losing followers. Positive criticism is comforting but it’s reassuring to a critic’s credibility to hear negative opinions, too.

    "...(criticism) is not a science. You're not talking about the truth. You're not saying, 'This is what happened.' What you're saying is, 'This is what happened to me. This is how I feel.'" Dude, EVERY TH-cam media critic needs to watch this video at some point. I've seen way too many people post reviews on movies or video games that come across as voiced Wikipedia articles.

    Very insightful. Not that he missed his calling cause there was nothing at the time like Siskel & Ebert, but reviewing is such a totally subjective business. Sometimes you feel they’re on point. Sometimes you feel they’re way off. But, it seems he could’ve been an excellent interviewer & remembered for that

    They get knocked so often as being 'TV critics' and simple reviewers, it's wonderful to be reminded that they were at the top of the field of film criticism, with Ebert even having won a Pulitzer Prize for his interviews.

  • @kmetcalfe

    If he had said this 5 years later, he would have brought up how one step worse than the hotel interviews, are the hotel interviews with the publicist in the room. Who would basically be dictating the talking points. Not many stars were comfortable without them, and many others were not permitted to have the unscripted type of interviews Roger did so well.

    Lol. Utter stupidity. Total. ‘Write what you want. You won’t be destroyed’. That’s the whole point of political correctness! Unless there were consequences, no one would subscribe to what is politically correct. The consequences are what make it something that is politically correct. Speaking of that. Never has anyone seen such a rise of pure hypocrisy.

    I miss these guys; not only are the movies less interesting these days, but hearing the reviews is a lot less interesting since they departed the scene. There's one instance I can think of when they didn't take their own advice, and did just follow the crowd of critics, when they gave glowing reviews to "The Last Temptation of Christ" in 1988.

      @@davidlevy4291 Michael Medved was one of the few critics to publicly slam that movie, and he claimed to know critics who actually hated it but wrote glowing reviews because they didn't want to be seen as agreeing with Christians. I've seen the movie, and it stinks.

    All I want to say is that I wish Ebert and Siskel had taught my English writing courses in high school instead of what I got -- insisting on 3rd person, dry bones, "scientific" book reports, instead of encouraging the kind of personal, passionate tone that these pros knew was the true way of the art of criticism.
