My all time favorite movie critic. I figured this was coming, I am a regular reader of his reviews, and as of late his page has been mostly guest reviewers. He was equally entertaining praising a film or cutting it to ribbons. I disagreed with him on scattered, infrequent occasions, but even with that he made his case so eloquently, either for or against, the film, I was compelled to respect his POV. Him and I were almost in lockstep on politics. I am really going to miss Roger.

Ebert was the gold standard of anything art criticism for me. He didn't just watch movies and give his opinion on them, he helped explain movies latent with symbolism that could so easily pass under a viewer's nose, he took what directors gave him and formulated his own thoughts on the message and intent.

I never really got to see Ebert & Siskel in their heyday and that always made me sad. Just watching videos on Youtube of them going at showed what awesome chemistry they had as a duo. Their banter where both of them would vehemently disagree, and neither would emerge as the right perspective, but both took something away from the discussion and viewers got the perspective of two of the most insightful minds in film. That won't ever be replicated.

Two thumbs up for his legacy.

Are you sad because of the subject matter of the article or because Roger Ebert passed away?
