There’s more than enough stuff about Ebert on the net without me regurgitating the same crap, I’m here to say simply that he was no angel. At times he could be vindictive, mean spirited and overly opinionated. One time he and Gene Siskel encouraged viewers on their PBS show Sneak Previews, to letter bomb an actress for appearing in a schlock horror film ( actors have to eat fellas), despite all that, Ebert championed international movies as well created an accessible forum for the average film goers, both in television or print. I didn’t always agree with him, but he certainly maintained the interest of conversation about what movies are or what they can be as cinema.
