Forums - Gaming - Five reasons the gaming population (or anyone else) should not care what Roger Ebert thinks

I recently made some remarkable discoveries about Roger Ebert's opinions about a subject on which he is supposed to be an expert.  I talked to a friend of mine who works in the fim industry and he had this to say:

"Up until a few years ago, he provided a dissenting opinion to a real [movie] critic, Gene Siskell.  Now hes just too famous to  go away.  I hate him"

Here are Five excellent movies that Rogert Ebert does not like (in no particular order):

1.) The Usual Suspects
2.) Brazil
3.) A Clockwork Orange
4.) Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas
5.) Scrooged

There are plenty others, but that should suffice to convince you that his opinion should mean less than nothing to you.  If you need any more proof, just watch the uniformly terrible "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" which he wrote.  

The sooner we all start ignoring him, the better the world will be.

Better reason to ignore him: he doesn't play video games.

Who?



The guy's pretty fucked up these days, can't even speak.

So don't be cripple bashing.



Also, the way he completely trashed American Psycho after seeing it at Sundance, then turned right around and gave it a glowing review as if it were a completely different movie kind of showed what a putz he is.

(I hate The Usual Suspects, though.)

This does not excuse the nonsense he spews forth.

A man who knows nothing about video games calls a video game boring? Say it isn't so!



Sigs are dumb. And so are you!

Now who's Roger Ebert?
