    The potential for being in a theater with a fun audience was part of the "draw" (or appeal) for me anyway. Seen some average Bond films I remember as great because of the audience. If you were in an audience where at least 1 person had an infectous laugh, that would cause more people to laugh... When I lived in MD some pretty awful films were saved by the comedy genius of a few young black women. (they made us all laugh) anyway I only mention race because the white girls never said anything. @@farrellmcnulty909

    Agree with them or not, Siskel and Ebert stand out from modern critics by being well-versed in film, literature, and story-telling, and thus give concise explanations as to why movies are good or SUCK. Also, that Scarlet Letter movie sound god awful, and the repeated use of “noisy” to describe a Michael Bay movie is so humorously simple while undeniably accurate.

    Many movie critics, especially in small market TV stations and newspapers, weren't actually movie critics at all. The popularity of S&E led media outlets to create their own movie review pieces in news, and they were often filled with news writers who took the job because they were re-assigned to it, or for the extra paycheck. I remember a story of a small TV station filled the movie reviewer role with a former weekend weatherman.

    I guess there's something wrong with me because I honestly thought it was actually a pretty good movie. As twisted as Malcolm McDowell's Caligula was, his actions usually made sense, given the brutal nature of the world he lived in, and the reprehensible people he was surrounded by, in an extremely dark and vengeful comedic way, besides the incest, even though that was actually common with royal families.

    THERE'S ABSOLUTELY NOTHING WRONG WITH THE LITTLE MERMAID. It was made for kids and for a new generation of people who are open to diversity. It was not made for you, a person comfortable with clichés and stereotypes. Born to only perceive African Americans as mere side characters, where you felt at ease. I'm more of a Siskel and Ebert fan than you ever can think you are, and I assure you, neither of them would have an issue with a mermaid being portrayed by an actress who is black. They wouldn't parrot some politician from Florida or repeat soundbites. They were champions of REPRESENTATION. Especially Ebert and his African American wife. You're not going to magat hat - Siskel and Ebert or wite-wash history to suit your narrow tastes and views of the world just because they are not here to defend themselves. SIT DOWN.

Some of the worst acting, writing, and music use I have ever seen in a major release. ( obviously schlock and B movies not included. ) Pretty bad when a major Hollywood blockbuster is worse than many movies on Best of the Worst. #RedLetterMedia #PepperoniPizzaPiePeepHole

    How on earth did they enjoy Critters and pan Critters 2? Critters was just a shit movie. Critters 2 actually swung for the fences and leaned into the absurdity and was a wonderfully fun, watchable movie. I’d never tell someone to watch Critters. I’d put Critters 2 in a must-see camp 80s horror comedy festival.

    Just about all movies these days (2023) ar simply one "gimmick" scene after the other. Breaking locks in 5 seconds or less, chase? fight scenes, reacking for the knife/gun, sex scenes, lamenting the past, the moody teenager, the through and through gunshot wounds (painless I might add), etc. I could go on and on....... Almost no originality, just reconstituted "gimmicks" with a different theme/genre.
