"When did Roger Ebert start getting taken seriously?"
Thu Jul-23-09 02:35 AM by Vaiops2wega

  

          

When he was reviewing films with Siskel this guy was considered a joke. It was Siskel who always promoted high art. Ebert always had this disgustingly populist approach to film criticism. He was the one who was always defending formulaic summer blockbusters. Now his word is almost gospel to a lot of people. This is a guy who said Crash is the best movie of 2005 and who recently gave Knowing a four star review.

I was surprised by all the love he got here.
