NPR is reporting that Roger Ebert has died. He just recently announced that he was diagnosed with cancer again. I don’t know how I missed him, but he most certainly deserved to be on my ‘people who I would want in my neighborhood‘ list. He has been added posthumously. He was a great writer and by all accounts a wonderful soul. His writing certainly has inspired mine. He will be missed.
I was always more of a Siskel fan. Still, sorry to see him go.
Holy Batcrap, we mentioned him during our lunchtime musing and boom, “He dead”. Who knew we had such power. Seriously, he was one of the few critics who I felt actually cared about film and movies as an art form. He will be missed.
