Forums - General - Roger Ebert Dies at 70

I give his death 2 thumbs down, LOL.

But seriously, I use to watch Siskel & Ebert all the time, even when it became Ebert & Ropert.

May he R.I.P.



Around the Network

Really sad news one of my favorite film critics ever, even though I disagreed with a lot of his reviews. I also disagreed with his point that video games are not art but to be fair most movies based on video games are bad art.



Definitely one of my favorite movie critics. Really enjoyed his thoughts and opinions on most everything (even if I didn't always agree with them).

He will most certainly be missed.



Talk your shit about video games now, motherfucker.

RIP, etc.



R.I.P, Mr. Ebert. You lived an inspiring life, and you deserve it.



I believe in honesty, civility, generosity, practicality, and impartiality.

RIP.

On a side note, do we know what the cause for his cancer was? I have a theory about Michael Bay movies...



Ongoing bet with think-man: He wins if MH4 releases in any shape or form on PSV in 2013, I win if it doesn't.

R.I.P. Roger Ebert. I enjoyed your movie reviews on "At the Movies". Although I never agreed with your opinion of video games, I respected your professionalism. The world of film critique is poorer for your loss.



I HATED HIS TDKR REVIEW! So now he has my permission to die!



Interesting fact, he fucked Oprah.

R.I.P.

CHICAGO—Calling the overall human experience “poignant,” “thought-provoking,” and a “complete tour de force,” film critic Roger Ebert praised existence Thursday as “an audacious and thrilling triumph.” “While not without its flaws, life, from birth to death, is a masterwork, and an uplifting journey that both touches the heart and challenges the mind,” said Ebert, adding that while the totality of all humankind is sometimes “a mess in places,” it strives to be a magnum opus and, according to Ebert, largely succeeds at this goal. “At times brutally sad, yet surprisingly funny, and always completely honest, I wholeheartedly recommend existence. If you haven’t experienced it yet, then what are you waiting for? It is not to be missed.” Ebert later said that while human existence’s running time was “a little on the long side,” it could have gone on much, much longer and he would have been perfectly happy.
