I recall Ebert recently saying that he was a big fan of Mark Steyn’s writing.
I went back over my comment and was probably wrong. Watched a documentary about Sam Peckinpah a few days ago and Ebert had glowing reviews of most of his films - even BMTHOAlfredo Garcia. I’m a big Warren Oates fan. I guess my doubts about Ebert can be traced back to his thumbs up reviews of Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9-11. I do miss Siskel.
