Okay, I’ve mentioned that I’m a big Roger Ebert fan before, right? He’s my favorite critic. I think a lot of “serious” moviegoers don’t think of him as legitimate, since his image is so tied up with television and the whole “thumbs” thing. But if you read some of his written reviews, you’ll find that he’s one of the smartest critics out there. You might not always agree with him, but his writing is always witty and entertaining. Often after reading some of his archives, I find myself wishing that I could know what Ebert thought about some other things: politics, music, television, etc. Fortunately, in recent years he’s actually started writing about these things as well. Now he’s taking on music piracy, God bless ‘im. I especially liked the ending. Man, am I an Ebert groupie or what?
Important Note
This site features content going all the way back to 2000. The posts you’ll read reflect my views and writing style at the time. While I have gone back to clean up a few of them, I think it’s important not to sanitise too much. This site is a record of who I am and how I’ve grown. Any blog post written years ago may not reflect who I am today, nor how I would write about the same topic today.

Ebert is da man. I tend to avoid him on tv now, but I’m a devout reader. The guy can snark with the best of ’em
Hmm… Ebert fan-fic… Time to do some work on my other, not-so-family-friendly blog, methinks. 🙂
Oh no- what next? Ebert fan-fic from Howie?No, he’s cool. He does have good written stuff. He comes across well in text – not so disagreeable, just thoughtful. I enjoy him. Oh, except he liked Joyride (talk to Kelly MAC about this).
