Just decided to watch his Citizen Kane review. Bad idea. Total garbage. Zero insight revealed at all whatsoever. Dude is just talking about the making of the movie and being like wow so technical! Very good!

Embarrassing that young people watch this stuff and take it seriously.

They should all learn to read in my opinion, so they can check out actual good film criticism and get a better understanding of cinema. They're doing themselves a disservice by sticking with Stuckmann, Jeremy Jahns, and Grace Randolph. There is so much better stuff out there. I'm begging you, please...

Ever since Roger Ebert died there hasn't been anyone to take the mantle of #1 Film Critic. Rise of YouTube in past few years has led to Stuckmann getting 1.9m subs. His videos regularly hit six figure views. Don't think any other critics can say they have multiple reviews every week getting that amount of traffic.

I would be glad to be proven wrong though. Seriously.

I prefer Fernando F. Croce.

"A Mercury Production by Orson Welles." Rise and fall of the emperor, out of Colorado snow and into the misty mausoleum by way of Wall Street, a barn-burning burlesque of Great Man biopics. Charles Foster Kane the baby-faced Tamburlaine viewed through an avalanche of refractions: little boy lost, upstart, newspaper magnate, reformist candidate, failed Svengali, magisterial hoarder, plume of smoke. Rough sledding for the faceless reporter out on assignment, investigating the meaning of a certain final word and bumping into one low ceiling after another. "1941s biggest, strangest funeral" is an interrupted sentimental journey, the visionary mind laid bare in all its megalomania and solitude as a flowing spectacle. (Fellini in 8 understands its circusy side.) Jedediah Leland (Joseph Cotten) is Jiminy Cricket with his bad review unfinished, Bernstein (Everett Sloane) with his unfading recollection of beauty is but one victim of memory, humanitys "greatest curse." The Presidents niece (Ruth Warrick) exits stage left amid scandal, Susan Alexander (Dorothy Comingore) is the soprano with a toothache agonizing through aria upon aria until shes a fizzing lightbulb, at the nightclub she remembers it all with an astringent smile. The labyrinth is a central locus in the language of cinema, Welles presents himself as its Minotaur, giddy and somber. "Shangri-La? El Dorado? Sloppy Joes?" A voracious work ("Still eating?" "Still hungry"), a cavernous overlaying of Murnau and Fitzgerald and Freud and cubism (Picassos Portrait dAmbroise Vollard is all but reproduced). A Night at the Opera for the New York Inquirer entrance, the dissolving marriage via widening furniture is from Keaton. The camera eye that seeks also deforms, sprawling tracking shots and depth of focus side by side with shock cuts and warped vantages and the most astonishingly dissonant of soundscapes, the myth assiduously erected is inevitably dismantled. "I know Ive played at the game, like a moth in a blue flame, lost in the end just the same..." An endless fountain of inspiration for Resnais, Ruiz, Coppola, Roeg and innumerable others; for Welles, just a beginning. Cinematography by Gregg Toland. Music by Bernard Herrmann. With Ray Collins, George Coulouris, Agnes Moorehead, William Alland, Erskine Sanford, Paul Stewart, and Fortunio Bonanova. In black and white.

I only watch movie reviews for shit movies. Those are funny. I don't care about much insight, but I'm also constantly pushing against the person's perception and wondering if they're off.
