Mikey Neumann did the writing for brothers in arms and a friend of mine had to go back through his scripts and fix everything because his competence level was 12 year old playing with plastic army men.

^Admiral Mikey was such a good bit.Shear Modulus posted:the superhero movies are going to have plot holes because they choreograph and film all the action scenes and everything that needs years of computer graphics before the script is even finalized and the writers have to write around them no matter how little sense they make Actually that time goes to the sequel hook and spinoff teases nowadays and they cut two fights and five character defining dialogues to fit it. See also Venom. Big Hubris has issued a correction as of 04:00 on Jan 29, 2019 |

the main joke of the tweet isnt plot holes its that big budget scripts are being written by imbeciles with connections who get all the royalties while minimum wage interns try to make them readable and a guy who calls himself a film critic thinks standards are too high

Brother Entropy posted:alternatively they're a popular thing to attack because they're considered technical errors so you can push the movie as Objectively Bad and not just something that you personally didn't dig Critics who latch on to plot holes over anything else tend to be the type who are just really bad at articulating their problem with the bigger picture, yeah. See every single youtuber complaining about The Last Jedi. Sure there are some really obvious glaring plot holes that really take you out of the experience momentarily, but all fiction has them to some degree and I cannot think of anything that was "ruined" by that alone.

I hate how people are overcorrecting against cinemasins's "smarmy asswipe who acts smug about being too stupid to understand the movie he's watching" and now saying that any part of a movie was dumb and does not make sense makes you a plothole nitpick licker like cinemasins

i have reluctantly come to realize over the years that ebert was actually bad he was a very liberal film critic in writing style as much as politics and this is the main basis for his reputation which was constantly signal boosted by similar institutions what im saying is plot holes are the washington post fact checks of film criticism does that make sense

IIRC generally Ebert is praised for his way of looking at movies; trying to understand what the movie set out to accomplish, and rating it on how well it did that.

R. Guyovich posted:ebert did this a lot. it predates youtube When Ebert identified a plot hole in a good movie, he often did it with the disclaimer that the hole didn't really matter. When the plot hole was in a bad movie, it was pretty clear he spent a lot of time thinking about it because the movie was boring otherwise.

idk he seemed to really enjoy hating battlefield earthquote:"Battlefield Earth" was written in 1980 by L. Ron Hubbard, the founder of Scientology. The film contains no evidence of Scientology or any other system of thought; it is shapeless and senseless, without a compelling plot or characters we care for in the slightest. The director, Roger Christian, has learned from better films that directors sometimes tilt their cameras, but he has not learned why.

I like Roger Ebert reviews despite his inability or unwillingness to examine the unconscious reification of liberal truisms in film as a medium. I like his willingness to acknowledge films that, while being technically competent, are cheap and cultish and distinguish themselves by being more than the sum of their parts and thus constituting at least kind of a break with american film tradition. like his review for Repo Man always stuck with me because he describes sitting in a theater in the mid-80s, a time which I often think of as having produced most of my favorite films, watching one lovely blockbuster by-the-numbers hopeful after another and frames the review by talking about how fresh and creative Repo Man felt in that context repo man is the best movie ever made, though its in competition with they live

Ebert was a good enough writer that it covered for a lot of his shortcomings as a critic. He was almost always a good read even when he missed the mark. And he was right about video games.

I'm unfortunately not super familiar with his writing, but I will always respect the man who co-wrote Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Just a beautiful example of well-made trash.
