I'm glad Stanley is good at reviewing music, his other commentary is usually ass backwards. I like G.B.S, Dorothy Parker,.... but I rather hear opinions from people I know.

Dilettantes are no better than orgers.

Yes, and then he gave The Cell four stars, Angel Eyes three stars, and Gigli two-and-a-half stars and wouldn't shut up about how it "almost worked" on his TV show. For once he looked like a total moron in front of Roeper. It was only then that I realized he was obsessed with J.Lo's tits.



falloff

he has a thing for ethnic woman that does tend to bleed into his reviewing of films....

but then he loathed that Woman Thou whatever movie..but you could see that it pained him to give it a bad review....Oh how upset he was when fans of the film started calling him racist..he posted a very long essay on it....never once did he mention that he is married to a black woman.. i was just hoping he would....


lol



BTW, Roger Ebert is marry to a black woman.

In regards to music reviews, the only one that ever really said what he really thought was Lester Bangs wether I agreed with everything he said isn't the point, sometimes he was right and he just said it.

Since then it has been nothing but corporate cocksuckers regurgitating what the corporate money buys.

There are some good critics round, who can write in an interesting style, and spark your interest in seeing or hearing a particular work :

in music there's : Dave Marsh, Jon Pareles (NY Times), David Fricke (Rolling Stone), Bill Dahl (Goldmine Mag), JD Considine (Blender,Tracks)

in film : Roger Ebert, Jeffrey Welles, AO Scott (NY Times)

But that's about it. most of the rest are hacks ...
