I’m pointing out that it’s a stupid comment and not justifiable by fact.

I always liked Ebert because he was the first critic I remember, and still one of the few out there, able to publicly enjoy both high art movies and popcorn silliness. His love of Russ Meyer kept him grounded in everyman films, movies other critics’ egos wouldn’t let them admit enjoying Ebert would be right out front saying “yeah it’s not high art, but you’re going to have fun”. Which is why I always found him to be the better of the two.

Since I have never put any stock into critiques of movies, by Eggbert, or anyone else, I really do not care if Eggbert was a cinephile. He was a liberal jack@ss, and that was enough for me to dislike him.

Umm, about that. Towards the end Ebert was a flaming liberal moonbat .... X2 Only I think he always was, not just towards the end.

It wasn’t stupid, it is a fact that many of us started taking the opposite view of the lefty, before we tuned him out entirely.

So you always agreed with Siskel then? (who was also a liberal Democrat).

I don’t know, I tuned him out close to 20 years ago.

I’m pretty sure that Ebert didn’t die in 1999.

A disgusting liberal. Sad that he died, but I will not miss him nor will I light a candle in his memory.

I meant Siskel. That’s who I mentioned in the post you responded to.

I grew up reading him here in Chicago so feel a personal sense of loss as do many here. He taught me a lot of about cinema when I was a kid.

Ebert’s opinions have produced torture for as long as I can remember. Look on his death as a late term abortion...many years too late.

Umm, about that. Towards the end Ebert was a flaming liberal moonbat .... True. No love lost here. He was the sworn enemy to America by association. And I stand by these words.
I'm in - agreed.

Are you talking about his cinematic opinions? Do you think American film culture would be better without him? It certainly would not.
