I was reading that people aren't poppin' the extra $5 for 3D and if you watch a movie in 2D they didn't pull the filters so you're half bright.

Meh.

With Gene Siskel being dead, perhaps his ghost inhabits Ebert, who is also now very fucked up and close to being an ex-Ebert. I'll take his estimate with a grain of salt. I see no reason to disagree with his estimate of theaters. His estimate of movies is kinda limp wristed for my taste, but not as effeminate as it used to be.

Ebert likes a chick flick I'd pass on. It doesn't make him an idiot. I value his input for choice of movies understanding that he's who he is. I would give proper weight to anything he said understanding we don't like the same cup of tea. I would call him "dead on" about the lack of technical quality you're likely to find if you pop the $50 for taking a date to a movie.

I don't have to agree with you for intelligent input to be really useful. As long as I have a consistent frame of reference. Ebert is kinda soppy and sentimental. More power to ya bud. I'm pretty happy there is chocolate and vanilla.
