If Ebert had paid attention the whole point was summed up with Gary’s speech at the end.
Roger Ebert was caught at least once sneaking out of a preview screening and writing an entire reviewed based on like 15 minutes of a movie...
OMG. I haven’t seen the movie in years, and I had to look it up on youtube, and ended up snotting on myself!
As for Ebert, he was interested in the sound of his own voice, and that was it.
