Topic: RIP Roger Ebert

sad Love him or hate him, there's no denying that he was a powerful, unparalleled presence in the film world. I for one loved him, and he was a huge inspiration to me. He'll be sorely missed.

Damnit, this is the worst. It's not like he slowly aged and was losing it, he was still on top of his game and juggling like 6 different projects, and a week later, dead. just fuck this

Re: RIP Roger Ebert

oh, correction: Roeper reviewed GI Joe on Ebert's site.  Ebert's last review really was The Host.

Wow, its one of the weirdest things to read. It sounds cold, but I know it was inevitable, but I really didn't expect it.
RIP Roger

God loves you!

Re: RIP Roger Ebert

One of my favourite Ebert quotes was this gem on Freddy Got Fingered-

“This movie doesn’t scrape the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t the bottom of the barrel. This movie isn’t below the bottom of the barrel. This movie doesn’t deserve to be mentioned in the same sentence with barrels.”

And this one on B.A.P.S.-

"My guess is that African Americans will be offended by the movie, and whites will be embarrassed. The movie will bring us all together, I imagine, in paralyzing boredom."

And then these-

"I had a colonoscopy once, and they let me watch it on TV. It was more entertaining than The Brown Bunny."

"The Last Airbender is an agonizing experience in every category I can think of and others still waiting to be invented."

"Battlefield Earth is like taking a bus trip with someone who has needed a bath for a long time. It's not merely bad; it's unpleasant in a hostile way."

We must not forget, naturally, that he wrote the script for Beyond the Valley of the Dolls.

"This is my happening and it freaks me out!"

Re: RIP Roger Ebert

Its funny that you have the Battlefield Earth review and I just watched another one from SFDebris.
Ah, to be united with anger towards a movie wink

God loves you!

Re: RIP Roger Ebert

Cool. He must be just returning to Chicago from Europe via British Airways with a Pan Am connection in NYC. Probably back from the Cannes Film Festival.
