I did not like his taste in movies, or his Liberal attitude. I think that in some way, he did for movies what Simon Cowell did to modern pop music — he promoted dreck and convinced a lot of people that quality was not going to sell as well as crap.

Mario Cuomo and Roger Ebert. . . two libtard icons ... have no use for either of them . . . but they will be worshiped, won’t they?

I must have missed something. Why the big push to make this guy into something special?

Here are five of Ebert’s best quotes about politics:

1. “I am proudly a liberal. I am also patriotic, reasonable, pro-American, and stand for family values.” [March 2010]

2. “I have watched with a kind of petrified fascination in recent years as the world creeps closer to what looks to me like disastrous climate change. The poles are melting. Ocean levels are rising. The face of the planet is torn by unprecedented natural disasters. States of emergency have become so routine that governors always seem to be proclaiming one. Do they have drafts of proclamations on file?” [March 2013]

3. “That James Holmes is insane, few may doubt. Our gun laws are also insane, but many refuse to make the connection…This would be an excellent time for our political parties to join together in calling for restrictions on the sale and possession of deadly weapons. That is unlikely, because the issue has become so closely linked to paranoid fantasies about a federal takeover of personal liberties that many politicians feel they cannot afford to advocate gun control.” [July 2012]

4. “I believe empathy is the most essential quality of a civilization.” [May 2012]

5. “In the years since then I’ve known a fair share of gay couples who seemed as established and content as other couples, some more some less. In a society that was slowly outgrowing the traditions of patriarchy and matriarchy, they’d made a lateral move into humanarchy. The idea of them being joined in a civil union was a no-brainer. They’d cast their lot together, shared their duties, had an implicit agreement to stand by each other, and certainly deserved to have their relationship recognized by the state if only for reasons of ownership and inheritance.” [August 2010]

Was he still on television after Gene Siskel died?
Why make a movie about the weak link in the pair?

There goes my New Year's resolution.

I guess this won't be the year we can all finally forget about the man behind Beyond the Valley of the Dolls after all.

Curse you, CNN! Shoving his fat face in ours yet again!

Thanks for the warning. I’ll be sure to avoid it.

CNN was pimping this all night on New Years Eve. I think I’ll pass.

A film about a film critic?

Why?

If I turn on CNN, that means their viewership will double and I don’t want to be responsible for that.

"Life Itself" a documentary about Roger Ebert

Don't waste your time on that egoistic liberal elitist snob.

This is a much better read:

Are there enough people interested in the life of a movie critic? Wow.

Apparently these were the two achievements in life of Roger Ebert:

1) Watch Movies
2) Write or Talk about these Movies on TV.

Nice work if you can get it. But worthy of a documentary? I don't think so.
