    Reminder that Siskel hated Friday the 13th so damn much he published the addresses of the producers in his review so people could send hate letters to them.
    He also spoiled the ending.

    critiquing =/= criticizing
    Critique is a genre of writing, indebted to Kant I'm pretty sure that attempts to undercover the "why" behind something, in Kant's case he was attempting to articulate the most essential mechanisms through which Reason occurs and in doing so created a metaphysical framework. A Film Critique more or less attempts to assert how and why does a film achieve it's objectives, it doesn't attempt to assign a rating or determine on subjective or evaluative grounds the quality of a work, only to determine how successful it was. A critique can in fact be positive if the writer makes a case that a film does indeed attain all of it's objectives successfully, and yes that does mean you could critique a porno.
    This isn't to be confused with Critical Theory which you've become familiar with in the form of every feminist or queer film review that attempts to shoehorn some kind of systemic prejudice into the most innocuous and unintentional tangential aspects of a film, or in the case of queer critical theory attempt to insert gay headcanon like a buttplug into a twink's butthole.
    Criticizing is the act of saying something isn't good.

      >In many ways, the work of a critic is easy. We risk very little, yet enjoy a position over those who offer up their work and their selves to our judgment. We thrive on negative criticism, which is fun to write and to read. But the bitter truth we critics must face, is that in the grand scheme of things, the average piece of junk is probably more meaningful than our criticism designating it so.

    The Valley of the Dolls flicks were KINO of patrician kalibre. Siskel was the chump and cuck who was overly concerned about looking high brow, pearl clutching, and seeming politically correct. EBERT WAS BASED!
    >"Schneider retaliated by attacking Goldstein in full-page ads in Daily Variety and the Hollywood Reporter. In an open letter to Goldstein, Schneider wrote: "Well, Mr. Goldstein, I decided to do some research to find out what awards you have won. I went online and found that you have won nothing. Absolutely nothing. No journalistic awards of any kind ... Maybe you didn't win a Pulitzer Prize because they haven't invented a category for Best Third-Rate, Unfunny Pompous Reporter Who's Never Been Acknowledged by His Peers."

    >Reading this, I was about to observe that Schneider can dish it out but he can't take it. Then I found he's not so good at dishing it out, either. I went online and found that Patrick Goldstein has won a National Headliner Award, a Los Angeles Press Club Award, a RockCritics.com award, and the Publicists' Guild award for lifetime achievement.

    Schneider was nominated for a 2000 Razzie Award for Worst Supporting Actor, but lost to Jar-Jar Binks.

    >But Schneider is correct, and Patrick Goldstein has not yet won a Pulitzer Prize. Therefore, Goldstein is not qualified to complain that Columbia financed "Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo" while passing on the opportunity to participate in "Million Dollar Baby," "Ray," "The Aviator," "Sideways" and "Finding Neverland." As chance would have it, I have won the Pulitzer Prize, and so I am qualified. Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.

    You know what I hate? This professional courtesy of not criticizing the work of a peer. Directors and writers never comment on the work of others outside of praise unless they are educators.
    Tarantino is polarizing on Cinemaphile and there are merits for arguing that he's overrated. Where he's based is because he actually publicly reviews and critiques modern movies. And he will straight up say that something sucks or a piece of shit.

    This jawless homosexual got filtered by Godzilla of all things. He gave it 1.5 stars because "le special effects are bad." No shit, it's a foreign movie from the 50's. He also didn't even understand the relationships between the main characters. He somehow thought that Dr. Serizawa was supposed to be Emiko Yamane's father-in-law. Somehow an incredibly basic melodrama plotline went over this acclaimed film reviewer's head.
