One of the greatest movies ever made?
It crystallizes everything that's wrong with American pop culture right now ... I don't expect to agree with a critic all the time. But his approach is to throw out blurbs just so he can get on a poster.
His integrity's out the window. He has no taste
It's a pretty microcosmic phenomenon, when you look at who hates him ... But for people who take film criticism seriously, he's an imposition. If he's established himself as the benchmark for where popular criticism is headed, we're all kind of [in trouble].
Next to 'Lawrence of Arabia' and 'Citizen Kane'? The only way you can say that with a straight face is if you've only seen 50 movies in your life. Or you're trying to give quotes to appease someone who can do you a favor later.
Everyone thinks he's a joke.
