A long time ago, I'm about to watch Dirty Harry. I'm really pumped because Roger Ebert said it was the most fascist movie he'd ever seen! Maybe it'll be like Death Wish 3!

And then... it turns out Dirty Harry just thinks the soft on crime stuff from the early 1970s went way too far. Like everyone who was alive back then. I was terribly disappointed and never trusted critics again. Definitely not him. As on Newsradio:

And then you would say "If I wanted to talk about movies I'd get that guy Siskel Ebert here." And I would say "Sir, those are two different people." And you would say "Just because the man is overweight doesn't mean you have to make fun of him."

I remember that famous article decrying theatre owners for seducing innocent children into watching Night of the Living Dead :marseyxd:

San Francisco in Dirty Harry is an apocalyptic, crime-riddled city where social and infrastructural decay is rampant.

It looks better and more alive than the San Francisco of today.

A jaw-dropping level of fascism in that film.
