It's scary to open yourself up to a profile, and it's easy to be critical. He was very gracious about everything which I like. softdrink: I thought his response was classy.

Thank goodness we still have his writing. I do adore him and his views on film. Wow, I had no idea about the shape Ebert is in. Thank goodness we still have his writing.

Like you, I don't follow film so I had no clue about the cancer or even that he had won a Pulitzer in the past. That’s a great article…as was Ebert’s response on his blog.

I didn't know a lot about Siskel and Ebert either, but after reading I went to Ebert's journal and read a bit -- I can certainly see how he's gotten where he is today. He really is a lovely writer.

I'm not a big film person, so I don't read a lot of movie reviews. But I do think you're exactly right -- a good reviewer writes as a fan and as a critic because you have to love what you're writing about at some level. Loving what you write about do makes the good ones better and the bad ones even more disappointing. Teresa: Thanks for this comment! I’m not a big film person, so I don’t read a lot of movie reviews.

Reading this made me realize why my brother gave him all that devotion over the years. Thanks for such a great Sunday Salon!
