New film critic gets thumbs down
  1. 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.

  4. 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).

  5. Did he spend 20 years as critic for a major newspaper? No. He's very much of the TV generation who don't spend time reading newspapers. I think we have a guy who is giving the information that audiences want to hear about film to make decisions about what to see.

  6. I ... wonder if the era of sitting passively in front of a TV screen and listening to a couple of guys trade opinions about movies has the same vitality that it had when Roger Ebert and Gene Siskel started 'Sneak Previews' on PBS in 1977

  7. 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.

  8. His integrity's out the window. He has no taste

  9. If (Lyons) wants to sit in Siskel's or Ebert's seat, he's got to prove he's worthy of our attention ... What Ben says about movies, it's not worthwhile. He seems to be doing the show more because he wants to be on TV than because he has something to say about the movies.
