Fuck off. It's easier than ever to figure out if you'll like a movie before you see it these days.

Yes.
Internet "film critics" like RLM and Stuckmann are jokes, and the people who parrot their opinions are worse.

>giving a fuck about mainstream or internet critics
>>68873994
"film critics" have always been meaningless

I feel like I've entered bizarro world.
It's kind of yes and no.
As long as respected publications like Sight & Sound are still around then no it can't die.
But that's not to say it isn't damaged because of Rotten Tomatoes where where scrub internet reviewers were given the same weight of review to actual professionals like Ebert or A.O. Scott.

Sometimes he's good
What publications are worthy? Do any remain?
>>68873994
All forms of professional criticism are pretentious self indulgent bullshit.
and nothing of value was lost

Fuck off cuck

It's a similar plight as music criticism. In the early 20th century, a famous orchestral conductor said that, after there was talk of forming a chair of music criticism in the university setting, that the only chair a critic is worthy of is an electric chair. Artistic criticism has been on a downward-facing streak for centuries (as far back as ETA Hoffmann when he reviewed the Beethoven symphonies).
Film, being a (relatively) more recent medium is going through the same criticism dilemma that other art forms experienced. The people that are qualified enough to analyze and review works of art at a deeper level are doing so in academic journals or simply making the art themselves.

This. There should be a purge of/v/ tier culture so film can be pure again
>>68873994
The net killed critics, talk shows, "news" shows, all kinds of shit.
It's mostly turned into 'critics' complaining that the movie isn't what they wanted or expected it instead of taking a note out of Ebert's book and judging it based on what it set out to do and whether it achieved it.
Read books not blogs. Loads of excellent film books out there.
Who really gives a shit about newspaper reviews? Most people just read shit that reinforces the opinion they already have and actively avoid anything that says otherwise

thats kinda interesting the internet was supposed to be this free-for-all thing where everyone gets their own atomized opinion about something, instead groupthink takes over just to get clicks

You don't have to read them. At the end of the day you're still just looking at other people's opinions for a recommendation.

I don't even follow politics, but I want him to be president just to see what they would do
