In Reply to: He's not the top movie guru because of his written reviews posted by DWPC on January 6, 2006 at 16:14:17:
"He may praise a director, but rarely explains how that director uses the medium to direct and manipulate the audience's perceptions."In two to three minutes? Remember that a thirty minute television show is not thirty minutes of content. Take out commercials and credits, and you are left with approximately twenty minutes of content. For typically five to six films?
People watch his show to get a quick glimpse of a segment of the film, and then to briefly hear his opinion about the film which hopefully allows them to decide whether they want to pay good money to see the film. Most persons who are worth educating are not going to seek elucidation about how they are being manipulated, or about the art of film, in a half hour show designed to be not much more than a reader's digest or consumer reports for movies.
And what makes you think that he is qualified to tell anyone about "film craft?" You apparently have little respect for his film reviews, so I am not sure why you want to hear him wax eloquent on the art of film making. Except to maybe tell him he is full of hot air.
