Default Roger Ebert Deep? No kidding?

I had no idea Roger Ebert was such an interesting individual. I guess since I really just knew him as a movie critic I never gave it much thought. Anyway, get to know him a little bit HERE. Interesting article.

That's very interesting, but I kept thinking "didn't he die a long time ago?" I had to consult Wikipedia to discover it was Siskel who died.

I liked his series of articles on evolution and his review of the movie Expelled

This is probably one of my favorite Ebert articles:

Roger Ebert's Journal: Archives

Especially the second-to-last graf:

These days, there is no room for ambiguity, and few rewards for critical thinking. Now every word of a politician is pumped dry by his opponent, looking for sinister meanings. Many political ads are an insult to the intelligence. Here I am not discussing politics. I am discussing credulity. If you were to see a TV ad charging that a politician supported "comprehensive sex education" for kindergarten children, would you (1) believe it, or (2) very much doubt it? The authors of the ad spent big money in a bet on the credulity and unquestioning thinking of the viewership. Ask yourself what such an ad believes about us.
