Dang, that was quick. Poor fella. I hope he made his peace and can RIP. Cancer stinks.

Boy, I always thought he was an OLD guy! My 70th is in October.

Have to go now. Time to get dressed for b’ball.

Now that Rog, Russ Meyer, and Malcolm Maclaren are all deceased, maybe the Sex Pistols can get it together and complete Who Killed Bambi (the movie co-written by the three, filming ended within the first week).

If memory serves, he`d turned into quite a lefty by the time he kicked. Like we needed another mouthpiece ass-clown in the O`Bozo circus, sideshow of freeks.

Am I the only one who is thinking ‘no great loss’?

He’s been away from tv for so long I doubt many people remember him or care about him outside of Chicago. Honestly, to me, his death is no worse than any other death today. He’s a guy who gave his opinion about movies.

RIP. What the “P” stands for in his case is subject to review.

There was a time when I would check what thought about a film and act accordingly (that is, do the opposite, which usually worked out). Ebert was also indirectly responsible for me getting two columns published in the New York Daily News. Back in the late 80s/early 90s, the News had a Counterpunch (talk back to the critics) column in the Sunday paper. Two of the columns I had published were rebuttals to his columns. (The News carried him for a time.)

I preferred Ebert's TV show. I enjoyed the clips back in the days when that was the only place you could find them.
