Siskel had children. But I think Ebert doesn't. His wife is black. They make an interesting, albeit liberal couple.
He's the first, and I think only movie reviewer to receive the Pulitzer for criticism. And he suffered recently from thyroid cancer.
None of this changes the fact he raised up his pudgy thumb for FH911.
Puke.
Stephen Hunter who writes for the WaPo (and is also the author of the Bob Lee Swagger and Earl Swagger novels) received a Pulitzer for his movie criticism last year.
