Matt Taylor :
Jamaal Burkmar here on tik tok does exactly this and I can't tell you how much I appreciate the plausible disagreement about movies. The conversation is the point.

I didn’t like odyssey and people called me dumb and told me I don’t understand film. I have a minor in film.

YES. Roger Ebert’s reviews rarely had to do with whether the movie was good or bad but rather was an essay that gave his take on something interesting about it

I think Stoobs is good at holding an opinion with nuance and taste rather than following the consensus

Only Christopher Nolan movie I’ve liked in Dark Knight Rises. Nolan’s movies just bore me, I’ve tried but I feel like he makes movie for those film bros who are just obnoxious. Maybe cause I’m a black woman

No way would I put this kind of commentary on 2x speed. I'll absorb it at normal speed, thank you.

I hate when you dislike a certain movie and people just insist because you “didn’t get it” which feels like a form of gaslighting.

The “score” system i think is bad for culture. “It’s a 6.5” is such a bad way to assign arts wortb

I think digger is a great example of a movie that got swallowed up by this phenomenon.

The Plague Review :
This feel this is applicable to music and music criticism too. On a whim, Anthony Fantano for example. He is just as much a visionary who’s often “wrong” like Ebert as he is one of these countless “faceless” voices so to speak giving these numerical scores that limit his own critical voice. Music is very similar to film in this regard and this is just an anecdote. And you’re absolutely right.

Are you saying that my movie reviews aren’t the holy scripture?! 🤣 I wish more people were more personally interested in film, rather than what other people think about film.

Me when I would watch a random film because I saw some neat shots of it on tumblr, love the film and then look up reviews and they all call the film boring and trash

🩵💜your post resonated with me on many levels; intelligently eloquent; fascinating prospectives and interesting subject matter. I love expressing how music, a film, art or what have you affect me and how it makes me feel or think. i’m not interested or concerned about what Anyone says or thinks of my words or choices. They’re mine and not up for debate.💜🩵

Yup :
Everyone wants to be invited back so it’s no longer film criticism it’s marketing

If you never hate the things people love and vice versa do you even have taste?

What I dislike about the old film critics like Roger Ebert is that 66% of the review was just a summary of the entire film and the characters. If I haven't seen the film – give me a good reason to do so. If I have seen the film – give me that nice analysis and those yummy takes. I never never feel the need to read a long summary of the film I'm either about to see or just have seen. At most it should just be the basic plot, no more.

This is why I like Reel Takes, I don’t agree with him a lot but his beliefs and opinions are ALWAYS consistent

It is good to have individual critics you read frequently, so you can calibrate your tastes to theirs

Pauline Kael was the first that jumped to mind for me too, glad to hear you name her first

I wonder if there’s a connection to how we’ve social media-fied film critique via letterboxd. The conversations around the medium have devolved into a ranking system rather than a thoughtful discussion
