	Roger Ebert
		Ebert, now 62 and living with his wife, attorney Chaz Hammelsmith Ebert, in Chicago, had earlier conquered thyroid cancer, and when a salivary gland tumor he had been dealing with for years was found to be cancerous, he faced the future head on.
		Ebert grew up in Urbana, Illinois, where he began his journalism career in a way that today seems the stuff of movies: he started at 15 as a sports writer for his hometown newspaper, The News-Gazette, then worked his way up as an apprentice on the city desk.
		Ebert's personal life is, of course, also rich—thanks in part to early detection and treatment of oral cancer.

	Roger Ebert
		ROGER EBERT: There are different kinds of commentary tracks and sometimes it sounds like three of the actors got together with a six pack or the director will just kind of reminisce.
		ROGER EBERT: You know that's the only chance some of these films have because the studios are all dazzled by the Friday night and opening weekend grosses.
		ROGER EBERT: Well, you know, a lot of modern directors and their movies are influenced by the flat lighting and textbook cutting style of television.

	Newsvine - The Critic(al) Condition: Roger Ebert
		Unfortunately, Ebert is one (notably excellent specimen) of a dying breed: The internet (for better and for worse) has ushered in an era of citizen journalism as well as the notion of the accessible arm-chair critic.
		Ebert's review bothered me not just because it overlooked all of these wonderful things plus a thousand more little details that only come out with repeat viewings and late-night brainstorming but because he simply got some facts wrong that were clearly explained in the movie, like he dozed off halfway through.
		Ebert truly is the master of his medium, but he's not so big-headed that he doesn't have time for his readers.

	Roger Ebert
		Roger Ebert is the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times, but he is of course much more famous for his decades of movie reviews on television.
		Ebert himself described it as "pure cinema, combining shameless melodrama, highly charged images of violence, sledge-hammer editing and musical overkill." Most audiences describe it as hilarious camp, although Sex Pistol Johnny Rotten once said he loved the movie because it was so true to life.
		An exception was a column Ebert wrote in the waning days of the 2000 election, not endorsing Al Gore but questioning George W. Bush's competence.

		Roger Ebert isn't your typical movie reviewer; he takes the time to evaluate a film, highlight its good points and bad, and let you know what he really thinks of it (as opposed to some studio-paid shill who automatically praises whatever's sent down the pipeline).
		As Ebert admits in the introduction, these aren't necessarily the greatest movies, but they're great for what they represent, what they speak about, and what they mean to continuing generations of people who discover them for the first time.
		To be sure, Ebert's affection for foreign films gets to be a bit much, but the point is that he wants to expose readers not only to the obvious choices for any aspiring film-lover but to those films that he loves, and why.

	Ebert: Games Inferior to Movies - Kotaku
		Ebert's reasoning: "There is a structural reason for that: Video games by their nature require player choices, which is the opposite of the strategy of serious film and literature, which requires authorial control."
		Ebert is correct in saying that "by their nature [video games] require player choices," - games do require player choice and those choices often drive the game's narrative.
		Ebert overlooked the role of the developer and didn't factor in that each pathway taken in a video game is one the developers already expected you to take.

	The Big Picture: Roger Ebert
		Arts: Critic Roger Ebert gives us his take on the 20 best political films of the past two decades.
		Roger & Me (1989, Michael Moore) This surprisingly successful film was a populist thumb in the eye of General Motors.
		Wearing a baseball cap and dingy windbreaker, Moore elbowed his way into GM offices and stockholder meetings, and documented what he considered the company's rape of his hometown of Flint, Mich. Yes, the film took cheap shots--but it took them openly and gleefully, and that was part of the fun.
