What I’ve always liked about Ebert as a reviewer is that he likes both art movies and fun movies. There aren’t many big time movie critics out there that would even admit to having watched a Russ Meyer movie, much less WRITTEN one.

A distinction between Art and Fun? Come on! These days people seem to think that anything not aimed at a Juvenile audience is an ‘Art Film’. If ‘The Godfather’ were released today it would be play at Repertory Theaters and be more of a cult thing as opposed to the huge populist success that it was in 1972.
