What annoyed me about Roger Ebert was he was so moralistic. Like with horror movies -- "It's just a bunch of teenagers getting killed. So dark! So depressing! Young people are coming to these movies and learning that life is full of horrors and monsters are out to get you and you shouldn't plan for the future because YOU WILL BE KILLED." He couldn't just critique the plot or how the movie plays out or something -- he had to place his personal feelings on it. And that's OKAY, but sometimes, I think, he went overboard with his personal feelings. I don't blame him for it, but sometimes, when he reviews movies he finds bad, he'll say something like, "Why would anyone come to see this movie? Did they not see that there were other FOUR STAR movies (which he rated) playing this week at the theater? Why didn't they see them?"

And it's like... bitch... people have their reasons for not seeing certain four star movies. Maybe they don't want to be put to sleep by them.

This stuff about Roger Ebert bothers me. He liked to basically call people stupid if they didn't see the movies he gave four stars to. He liked to always attach his biased opinion on a lot of things and make it sound like he truly knew what he was talking about - as if it was the truth.

And certainly sometimes a horror film can be truly awful and dark -- like the last Saw movie I watched and reviewed. I felt like Roger Ebert trashing that film. But that movie... I can understand why people would want to watch it, and I found it entertaining, but the deaths were depressing and it ultimately did dissatisfy me, especially since it was the last Saw. I expected a better story.
