The science Nobels certainly aren’t junk. And many great writers have won the Nobel or Pulitzer.

Nobody will remember that he wrote for movies...his writings on film introduced many little known films and directors to people who would not have otherwise known about them. If a few more people see ‘Tokyo Story’ or Ikiru because of Ebert’s advocacy of them that’s a good thing.

As far as his movie criticism goes, he was very inconsistent.

He gave Burt Reynold's "Cop and a Half" as many stars as "Godfather II" and more than "Reservoir Dogs."

Fawn over him as much as you wish, but you’re not winning any converts here from what I can see. Your idol worship of this clown just gives me reason to question your political leanings.

I wouldn’t buy a book this clown wrote.

I also never put much weight behind any opinions of this ass. Same with all libtards like Moore, Carry and Streisend.
