RIP Roger Ebert

[Kreekakon]

I think it's kind of near impossible for reviews to get some sort of point across without being subjective at all. I agree that you shouldn't have your entire opinion of a movie based off of a critic's review, but it is something you can take into consideration, and think about when you are trying to make up your own mind about the movie.

That's why I think people read other people's reviews/opinions on certain works in the first place. To provide food for thought based off of that person's thoughts on the whole thing. One of the less cynical reasons* I think professional reviewers exist is because there are A LOT of people (Especially when compared to amateurs) who believe what a certain reviewer says is almost always worth listening to, and worth taking into account for consideration.

*Of course this is too optimistic. There are certainly more straightforward reasons why there are professional reviewers in the first place if you know what I mean.


We seem to be floating a bit away from the topic though, which should be about Roger Ebert's death. perhaps we could take this somewhere else?
