Hm, Phillip Lopate says Kael, Sarris, Farber, Ferguson, & Agee are the five great US film critics. None of the them wrote for daily papers.

@HeerJeet Agree on Sarris. -
@benschwartzy Haven't read Ferguson in a long time but I remember being disappointed at how short most of his reviews were.

@HeerJeet Ferguson is my fav writer on comedy in the 30s/40s. I like his music/pop culture stuff. But, his career is sadly too short. -
@benschwartzy Same with Warshow -- if they had survived would've had a much more substantial careers.
