LOL, Roger was correct.

i think that ... He never warmed up to the (original) Blade Runner movie.




i knew he disliked Fight Club (1999)


i didn't know he disliked A Clockwork Orange (1971)


>>> Stanley Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange is an ideological mess, a paranoid right-wing fantasy masquerading as an Orwellian warning.

It pretends to oppose the police state and forced mind control, but all it really does is celebrate the nastiness of its hero, Alex...

But they've really hyped A Clockwork Orange for more than it's worth, and a lot of people will go if only out of curiosity.

Too bad ... It is just plain talky and boring. You know there's something wrong with a movie when the last third feels like the last half.


------------- So it seems Ebert disliked "showy" films.
