Dirty Love (always amusing Ebert 0 Star Review)

Ebert is a sc*mbag. I have nothing but contempt for him.

[TheBigB]

True, true. I think a lot of the skanky thing is really just an act, though. As opposed to, say, Tara Reid or Paris Hilton.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Unnngh, I watched some of that crap Tatadise, and I just don't see the appeal. There is nothing there above the neck, her voice especially.

[Fierce Allegiance]

Unintentional typo (again) Taradise, not Tatadise.

[TheBigB]

I have nothing more to add, just wanted to shamelessly post another pic of Jenny. :o)

[Borges]

I've met him a few times and he was very courteous. And has done a lot for film culture in the U.S.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

Ebert is a dirty socialist and a terrible, TERRIBLE writer.

Ebert is not a socialist and he writes terrific reviews.

His tendency is to go left, but his reviews are often better written than the movies he covers.

This one, in particular.

[AmishDude]

Oh, please, Steyn could crank out a 10 times better review in a half an hour.

[Dr. Eckleburg]

And has done a lot for film culture in the U.S.

I agree. Where's this animosity for Ebert coming from? His reviews, better written than 95% of the movies he reviews, earned him the first Pulitzer for film criticism. No small feat.
