re: The Nostalgia Critic

When I am made dictator of the earth, I am going to make all of these nitpicky "criticism" sites illegal and hunt down these hacks to the ends of the earth with my hounds from hell. Genuine criticism raises the level of debate, and it discusses ideas and how the film services those ideas (I said "services"). Replacing that with juvenile potshots that really have nothing to do with the overall work is just lazy.

How about this? Why don't you create something? I mean, Roger Ebert could WRITE. People read him not because he could find the shot with a boom mike showing, but because he was an engaging writer trying to have a dialog with his audience. And he treated even the worst pieces of shite with some measure of respect. He looked at what they were trying to do and judged them on their own terms.

These youtube hacks need to be destroyed. They add nothing, and actually harm genuine criticism. The Nostalgia Critic can lick the sweat off my balls.
