Makes rediscovering him as interesting a prospect as exploring the legacy of Ebert.<br /><br />Spacerguy, and that's what made him so special. he clearly never lost his love of movies. For too many critics, they seem to hate movies, and just write about them because it's a job and they wantTony Laplumehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07854455859399339169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955691.post-40508301533320636472013-04-05T22:58:54.857-05:002013-04-05T22:58:54.857-05:00I'm seeing a lot of nice Ebert remembrances on...I'm seeing a lot of nice Ebert remembrances on E Day.

I want to know more about him.<br /><br />As for Roger Ebert, it's a loss that anyone who loves movies will struggle with. For me, there was Roger Ebert's reviews and everyone else. He was the yardstick by which all movie reviews will be judged. Only Gene Siskel could match him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955691.post-90904320459229940422013-04-05T14:54:36.228-05:002013-04-05T14:54:36.228-05:00Maurice, you will be amused.

His reviews were something I always loved reading, even for those movies I had absolutely no intention of seeing. He has definitely left an impact on the industry, and a legacy for those of us who read and write about movies.Michael Abayomihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07276804685807238328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3955691.post-2181293036312195502013-04-05T13:18:23.437-05:002013-04-05T13:18:23.437-05:00Go Red Sox!
