Was Roger Ebert /yourguy/?

I swear this dude was the embodiment of Sup Forums. The most contrarian motherfucker in the history of film criticism.

I wonder what it was like having a perpetual smile.

Thank god he died. I mean why would you want to live without a jaw? Fucking horrible.

When I heard he died, my jaw dropped

He wasn't contrarian he was just stupid. Armond White on the other hand is the thinking man's contrarian.

Ask the Joker.

he liked Episode III

based

He loved pleb shit. His tastes were pretty normie for the most part. Literally the opposite of /ourguy/

Name one example of Armond White being contrarian. Just one.

Jack and Jill.

Not to be an asshole but what's wrong with his face?

king arthur

...

What?

What?

What?

In the butt

bait detected

Huh?

I think Gene Siskel was more our guy.

Listen to this off the cuff banter. He was certainly my guy.

He ate a fucking

I was overjoyed when I heard that this charlatan had finally died, but I was also saddened by the fact that he hadn't suffered that much before deciding that he could insult film criticism no longer. The pain and suffering that he went through is only a fraction of the evil that he inflicted on the millions of cinematically illiterate teenagers. When I found out that the old fart had finally decided to not assault the public with his adolescent approach to art, I pulled off the framed picture of Armond White from my wall, kissed it reverently, and immediately embarked on a Korine marathon. Good riddance, you jawless hack.

I don't want to be insensitive but the guy really turned into an asshole late in life.

An overrated fuck who didn't deserve the praise he got

He helped make film reviewing popular, that's all he was good for.

Is that, paradoxically, the reason he got so much praise?

Lol @ all these people shitting on him. Yes OP he was great, though I don't think he was contrarian. He got most movies pretty damn right

>Yes OP he was great
I don't see anything in the OP post suggesting he's great.

Beyond the Valley of the Dolls was a masterpiece.

art critics are the shittiest lifeforms around. literal leeches who are terminally unable to create, so they speak about others creative drives and rate them, truly a despicable group.

What makes me sickest is that in some cases they make more money than the actual creators.

their "work" is undistinguishable from those React videos from youtube. they get money from making faces reacting at content generated by others, at least the react faggots are more straightforward about it.

Is that a photoshop or some monstrosity out of the Bogdanoff laboratories?

To be fair I would still take them over Keemstar gorging on popcorn like the fat fuck he is but they're still pretty fucking bad.

>Gave The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly a shit review because it was fashionable at the time to hate westerns
>Re-reviews it and sucks Leones dick with his jawless mouth because it's now viewed as one of the greatest films of all times

Ebert was a hack

he had cancer bro, not cool.

This. He wasn't a contrarian, he was a flipflopper faggot. Flipfloppers like Ebert and Trump aren't real human beings.

Truly was the Pitchfork of his era.

Exactly, I can't stand flipfloppers like Donald Trump. He is scum.

To be fair, all film critics do this when they "get it wrong."

You will see very few people who stand by their original opinions.

Yup.

HOWEVER

>uses picture of himself before he lost his jaw
False advertising, isn't it?

Always hated that fat fuck race traitor.
Siskel was always the better of the two.
They cut out his upper and lower jaw, his tounge and his voicebox .
The teeth in the picture are and upper denture that was attached with a magnet in his nose.
The chin, is just his skin, no muscle, no bone, just a flap of skin to make him look "normal".
He always wore turtlenecks and scarves to hide the massive hole in his throat, you can see some of the gauze just below his right ear.
That's how the fat ass finally lost weight, no more taste, no more chew, no more eat, no more smell, feed with a tube, baby food for the Chicago Cuck.
Best part was his fat fuck liberal shrieking was finally silenced.

I give his suffering a Thumbs Up.

See you at the movies, in hell.

idk he always looked happier after he got rid of his jaw

i suppose it was a relief if your jaw is a cancerous tumor trying to kill you

stupid bait user, enjoy the cheap (You)s

>idk he always looked happier after he got rid of his jaw
That's because it made him literally incapable of wearing anything but a smile.

>I give his suffering a Thumbs Up.

>See you at the movies, in hell.
Whoa.

Was ebert the first normie film critic ?
Yet if he was around today he would be considered a film snob because of how low film criticism has fallen.

All the guy did was review films you spaz. Give him a break he wasn't even good at it.

We just need to stop considering random Youtube assholes "film critics." Stop letting them think anyone cares about them.

Kek

of course. i'd be smiling til i die if i managed to get rid of a horrible cancer

You can't "get rid of" cancer. He only delayed it.

...

Do you have autism?

What is wrong with your faaaace?

I'm guessing you have cancer because your posts are highly cancerous.

This.

He was a prude hack just like Bosley Crowther, both of them can rot in shit.

He hated Fight Club and Africa Addio. He was always very uncomfortable with movies that showed male masculinity in it's raw form and movies that went against the liberal orthodoxy.

POST THE WEBM

He gave it 3 stars when he first saw it and mostly criticized it for being too long and having a thin plot for such a long movie. He also said its more authentic, grim and memorable than Yankee westerns.

Hardly a shit review

The fact that he cared so much about plot really shows how much of a pleb he was

Yeah, I wanna see him suffer.

Not really contrarian, and to the extent that he would be, he's usually in the wrong.

How on earth can anyone think Roger Ebert was a contrarian? He's by far the least contrarian film critic I can think of. Which, among other things, is why I hate him.

Can some /medicaldoctor/ explain to me why did he not put some type of prosthesis for his jaw? Is it impossible? Or was it too expensive?

>Which, among other things, is why
>among other things

I hate people who use that phrase. It's the most contrarian thing I can think of

I'm sorry that basic competency in the use of the English language triggers your burger brain

It's alright I'll let it slide this time just don't do it again bucko!

>Shart in mart detected

>bourgeoisie detected

ITT: People butthurt that he gave their favourite movies low ratings

made him visually distinctive and got him sympathy

As if 'film critic' is some noble profession.
It's just blowhards that were too untalented to make movies themselves.
Just like music critics.

Paid shill?

I guess some of tv can identify with that

What the hell happened to his face?

He insulted my mother and I wasn't about to let that go unpunished

Why? Was he too sleepy to realize that wasn't his cup? Or does he have a taste for soggy poweraid bread? Why? Why would he do this?

He was talking crap about movies and now he looks like a joke.
He was high and mighty and look at him now, everybody offend is laughing at his freak face and yea encourage him to go out more so we can laugh more.
You talk crap about my movies you get cancer and then we laugh cause we still made/make money, goyim will buy anything.

Jaw bone got cancer, so they removed it.

>Ugh, caring about plot... so pleb!
What the fuck are you on about, retard?

cringe

>White
>is actually black

That bastard. How dare he?

We can literally reattach arms and replace hips why couldn't they just give him some fake plastic jaw? Even if it didn't move it would be better than this.

>You can't "get rid of" cancer.
But you can. Are you stupid?
