Are there any new Eberts? The review landscape feels like it still hasn't exited his shadow but needs to evolve.

Mark Kermode is wonderful. Incredibly intelligent takes, thoughtful analysis, and brutal honesty when it's warranted. He's a delight to watch.

You'll never know because there aren't that many good films to review.

As of when? It's not likely to be like the 70s again, but it wasn't for the majority of his career.

I don't know as of when. But I have no problem listing one movie after another for the 70's, 80's, 70's, 200x but since then it's been longer and longer between movies that stand out.

Oppenheimer and 'Don't look up' are the exceptions. Everything everywhere all at once was mentioned here but I found it pretty thin and predictable.

I am amazed by your prediction abilities, then. I don't think I predicted any of it.

The only thing I predicted was that I was not going to finish it.

This pattern is repeated down through the entire history of film. The problem isn't the films its you getting older.
