He's a fine fellow when his opinion coincides with my own.

Indeed.

The difference between a professional opinion and a standard opinion is a paycheck.

Don't quote bumper stickers, give us your opinion of Mr. Ebert

That's not a quote.

Also, search 'Roger Ebert' with my name attatched and I think you'll get a pretty direct result.

Dang, I tried to search it twice and each time my internet failed...I don't think that's a good sign for his reputation in your eyes

There aren't enough Orson Welles clapping gifs for this.

Apart from the fact the professional opinions are often more informed.

And are often less biased than a fanbase review.

So let's say I ask you and a PhD physicist a question on quarks and gluons; you're saying each opinion is equally valid?

It would seem I have stirred the pot a bit. Not my intention.
However, I would like to say that all of you are right for calling me out on this and would like to thank you for doing so.
This needs some clarification. I do not hate Ebert and respect the man in spite of some of his more notorious reviews. I posted this shortly after reading a list of his 75 worst reviews and simply wanted to express my viewpoints on this list itself. In writing this post, I was far too harsh, and that was not my intention at all.
If you are interested, here is the list. It is an entertaining read to be sure and Ebert was very gracious in his response to it, a sign of great maturity and professionalism.

Ebert should be applauded for not only acknowledging that he made mistakes, but also for sticking to his guns and not following the crowd in spite of it not being the popular opinion sometimes. More people should be like that. He earned his status as a fine film critic and will be remembered for centuries to come as one of the best.
Time is the ultimate critic, and Time has judged Ebert. He passes.

Can't help but agree with his thoughts on The Fighter. I hated that overrated pile of trash.

I was thinking more along the lines of opinion on 2001: A Space Odyssey, but sure.

I was completely in love with 2001: A Space Odyssey from Stanley K. watched it 5 times this week and finally understood that this movie is just a piece of shit by taking the worse from Nietzsche (the worse doesn't mean there's any good in Nietzsche).
I can't believe I've been that blind  all the philosophy in this movie (and in every Stanley K. film anyway) is sooooo wrong!

[Aspie]

I love all of Kubrick films, but he is an extremely controversial director, so I'm not surprised.

I hate sick children. My little cousin threw three times today and he made one hell of a splash, no pun intended. Doesn't help when he throws up on the carpet either.
