Then why say "I don't even know this guy"?

You keep having drawn-out arguments defending "harmless" big-budget films and shit-talking Ebert. If it looks like a duck etc. etc.

"I don't even know this guy"

So unofficial and not actually Pixar? Good, glad we can agree on something.

But not animated by Pixar. So you agree with me, then.

See, now I'm convinced you are Chris Conley - he too had a major hateboner for Ebert, used Transformers as an example of why critics don't matter, and got really fired up defending shitty films. Last time it was The Lone Ranger.

Well, my barometer is "animated and produced by Pixar Animation Studios". Unreasonable, I know.

His commentaries for Citizen Kane and Dark City suggest that, yes, actually he did know shit.

I sense you don't get what "a movie made by Pixar" actually means.

If you think entertainment aimed at children shouldn't have darker or mature content, I can't begin to imagine how boring you must be.

As said by someone who doesn't understand what "criticism" is. It's not just a case of opinions; an opinion is worth something only if you can back it up. Ebert knew film; shot composition, pacing, cinematography, characterisation, all that. He knew his stuff. So he was more trustworthy. Even when I disagreed with…

"I'm counting a movie not by Pixar as a Pixar movie because shut up."

He's gone on record as saying he wants nothing to do with it because of the legal nightmare surrounding the ownership, and because he felt he was stealing it from Mick Anglo, who he liked. Had he known about it now, he says he wouldn't have done it.

I can vouch for the awfulness of topical costumes. One night at the student union a few weeks ago, about half the sports teams turned up dressed as Miley, carrying teddy bears and inflatable hammers, and they took over not just the stage, but pretty much the night. All of her songs that ever charted got played (except…

Saw them back in February. They opened with the spoken word section of "Let's Go Crazy" by Prince, and I pretty much fell in love.

My respect for the band went up after their response (and it was pretty high already), but I'm always amused that it was someone going "I bet we could make superior love". Kept reading that as Gene Wilder from Young Frankenstein.

And just what WOULD Jeromey Romey Romey Rome think?

Nevair!

I don't know, I kind of like the idea that the lyrics to "Perfect Day" are what the song is literally about. Reed sounds amazed by the idea of going to the zoo, having a picnic, going to a movie; the narrator lives such an alienated drugged-out life, just having a normal day with his girlfriend is perfect.

I don't know how boring you have to be to like "Roar".
