ky02121 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 Rex Reed's face: "When alcohol does its taxes, it lists you as a dependent." ~Greg GiraldoWow, I wasn't prepared for that. NSFW.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sims Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think he's hilarious. He's obviously completely worthless as an objective arbiter of film quality, but his hatchet jobs are to die for. His Great Gatsby review was the funniest thing I've read in ages. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ozymandias Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 I think he's hilarious. He's obviously completely worthless as an objective arbiter of film quality, but his hatchet jobs are to die for. His Great Gatsby review was the funniest thing I've read in ages. I just read that, and oh my I laughed my ass off, but I haven't seen the movie so that probably helped.

redfirebird2008 Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 He's always been an asshole. He's been around 30 years too long. Yep, not sure why he is included on MetaCritic. Really hurts the credibility of a site that generally has a good collection of critics. Reed goes out of his way to insult the intelligence of the people reading his reviews. Talk about biting the hand that feeds. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Plain Old Tele Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 He's just an old geezer who's out of touch with modern pop culture and sensibilities. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Krissykins Posted July 11, 2013 Share Posted July 11, 2013 He really should have stuck around, the first two segments of Vhs2 are awful but the last two are incredible.His loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blankments Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 (edited) #RexReedReviews is trending right now Tom Nix @TheTomNix 1h SKYFALL: After 23 films they finally kill James Bond. Good riddance to this disgustingly salacious franchise. #RexReedReviews Alonso Duralde @ADuralde 1h THE WIZARD OF OZ: I was told this would be in color. What a rip-off. #RexReedReviews Sean O'Connell @Sean_OConnell THE INCREDIBLES: Bob Parr is a retired superhero who hates his job, wife and kids. Depressing stuff by Pixar's standards. #RexReedReviews Edited July 12, 2013 by Pacific Blank 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 He's just an old geezer who's out of touch with modern pop culture and sensibilities. Rex Reed once gave a glowing review to Angel Heart. Said it made the Exorcist look like Anne of Green Gables. I agreed with that review. Sadly, it has been downhill ever since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
baumer Posted July 12, 2013 Share Posted July 12, 2013 I just read his Gatsby review. It's a little mean, but bang on imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Nevada Posted July 31, 2013 Share Posted July 31, 2013 I've now watched the first episode of V/H/S 2, and Mr. Reed must either be a giant pussy or he's never seen a horror movie before. I have no idea what prompted him to leave after a really rather mild bit of found footage horror. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
