Umm, about that. Towards the end Ebert was a flaming liberal moonbat ....

Cancer is an ugly and painful death. For that I sympathize. That being said, mostly when Ebert gave a thumbs up, experience taught me, I probably would not like the movie.

I liked Siskel. I could never stand Eggbert.

I don’t miss him at all, I never paid much attention to him when I did see him.

I always went with Siskel’s thumb. He was a Lib too, but he could really call movies correctly.

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

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.

Siskell and Ebert were a weekly feature in my life throughout the seventies and half way through the eighties, and this outpouring of worship for this person is the only thing "shocking" about his death.
Add to this his unashamed hateful attitude toward middle America and American conservatives, and my first reaction is...
To express the thought that Ebert, especially, did a lot of damage to Cinema, in general, serving the interests of the purveyors of hype and the "star-making machinery" he really only pretended to criticize.
As an adult, finally becoming exposed to the vast sea of great films available to us now, I think I realize Ebert - had be been around - would certainly have jumped on the bandwagon of everyone who expressed their hatred for Von Stroheim's "Greed," for example... or Lon Cheney's "The Unknown."
Well... Bye....

Bump for Gene Siskel. The other guy never told me anything I wanted to hear.
