If Ebert hates it, then chances are I’ll like it...when it comes out on pay per view

The dialogue seems to have been ripped throbbing with passion from the pages of Investors’ Business Daily.Eggbert...obviously knows IBD, is right leaning.

Folks, lets not forget that the “George Costanza Opposite Rule” applies to elitist liberal movie reviewers. If they hate a movie, go see it. If they love a movie and simply gush about it (think “Brokeback Mountain”), then you should avoid it at all cost.
By writing a snarky, smarmy review of this movie, Ebert has provided you a valuable service.
Hey Roger... You don't think that trains are "all that?" I'll tell you what. Imagine a world with no trains. Most power plants that generate electricity in the USA burn coal. How long do you think the plants would operate if the trains stopped? Most power plants have less than a 2 day supply of coal on hand. Just how many minutes of power would airplanes be able to supply a power plant with coal?
And let's not forget just how much product distribution of all sorts depend on the trains. Figure if the trains were to stop, the price of everything would easily double or triple overnight. Transportation by rail is MUCH less expensive than by truck.

Ebert? I thought you were dead. So even your cancer is dysfunctional.

Roger Ebert’s idea of great movie is “Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens”, one of the, uhhh, “art films” he gave the world.
P.S. The cover of this “movie” is pornographic, so don’t look it up. Yes, he really did (at least help) write the screenplay.

Whoa, did I misinterpret "Rumpy Pumpy"???????5 minutes with Laz will answer that.

For me, that philosophy reduces itself to: "I’m on board; pull up the lifeline." Not so bright of him to show his hand so early in the review; what Rand fan will read beyond that? The movie could have been directed by Frances Ford Coppola, with Russell Crowe and Gwyneth Paltrow, and Ebert still would have panned it.

“Unsurprising that this would be lost on a elitist lickspittle like Ebert.”
Uh, don’t you mean an over-the-hill, washed-up, has-been, bitter, sour, elitist lickspittle like Ebert?
I won’t know until tomorrow whether the movie is any good or not, but I do know that Ebert’s reviews are pointless and meaningless in general now, and more specifically, he’d rather have a recurrence of jaw cancer than gave a good review to any non-liberal movie.

The last time I relied on movie hype was,....get ready,.....wait for it,........."Crying Game". Ive walked out on one movie in my life,......guess which one. I'll stay even if it's pure crap just to get my money's worth. The critics said "DON"T MISS THIS ONE!"
With one star from eibert, I'll probably want the DVD for future watching.

IT’S A PERIOD MOVIE!
Well, sort of. The book was written in the 1950s and set in the future. Instead of setting the film in, say, an alternate-reality 1960s, however, this movie is set in an alternate-reality 2016 which apparently has weird combination of retro clothing and modern conveniences like computers and cell phones.
Anyway, I'm seeing a screening of the movie tonight. Should be interesting.
To: MarkL
MarkL..that type of info is way above Eggbert's pay grade.
Good post!

Because leftists do not get it. They don’t understand why we don’t just let them handle everything.
