Sun-Times: Famed movie critic Roger Ebert dies

Associated Press – 3 mins 30 secs ago
CHICAGO (AP) — The Chicago Sun-Times is reporting that its film critic Roger Ebert has died. He was 70.
The paper says on its website the Pulitzer Prize-winning film critic died Thursday.
Ebert was known for his thumbs-up, thumbs-down TV reviews that influenced moviegoers across the nation.
On Wednesday, he had announced on his blog that he was undergoing radiation treatment after a recurrence of cancer.
Ebert was diagnosed with thyroid cancer in 2002 and later had surgery for cancer of the salivary gland. He lost his chin and his ability to speak. But he later resumed writing full-time and eventually even returned to television.
Ebert started as a film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times in 1967. In 1975 he became the first movie reviewer to get the Pulitzer Prize for criticism.

With that being said, fuck Ebert for making a mockery of Ryan Dunn's death the day after the news broke out. Good riddance you no jaw having faggot.

The End

[silverblk mystix]

If anyone bothers to read his story - it is pretty amazing and the man was very inspirational to others and appeared to be a decent dude...but this is spurstalk so....reading something challenging isn't what people here do...


RIP

[hater]

decent, no not decent, great nonbiased reviewer.

He had great taste for movies, not like 90% of the reviewers who are bought by the studios.

He sold out as well. He vacillated on the "slasher" genre.

Evil Dead did him in.

So who's gonna be the guy that posts a pic of him sans the jaw?

[Thread]

He couldn't even eat thru conventional mode the last years of his life. But, he claimed it didn't bother him. I'd do the dutch if I couldn't have a "Nemo" once a week and eat 5 Guys once a month.

His reviews were dog shit his last few years, imo.

I've wondered before if theater snacks and lack of sunlight did him and Siskel in.

[hater]

heroin and morphine probably helped tbh

It was weird when Siskel died. You couldn't get a straight answer from it.

Good guy, usually agreed with his reviews. RIP. Now him and Siskel can bitch about movies in the afterlife.

I don't see the controversy imo. Anyone who drives drunk and kills people while driving don't deserve sympathy

[CubanSucks]

I could've sworn he clocked out a while ago, like a year or so...

Well-said. RIP film criticism.

[clambake]

[redzero]

Evil Dead did him in.

Never mind. Apparently, the last movie he reviewed was The Host. What a sad way to go out.

[clambake]

LOL on the same forum that constantly shits on friend killer JR Smith, who was just stupid but not drunk as far as I know.

Comparing Ebert to a 4th stringer of the "Jackass" series is LOL....
RIP

Siskel and Ebert were a great team. Ebert alone was a little too pretentious for me.

You're asking too much of him, to be that witty.

[mrsmaalox]

Was he the one who ended every show saying something about eating popcorn?

Slack jawed faggot

RIP

Fate was a cruel bitch to literally take away a critic's voice

No. He always said the balcony was closed.

[DarrinS]

Thought he was already dead

[Darth_Pelican]

I had no idea he was married to a big black woman....

I don't disagree, but it wasn't Eberts place to tweet something like that when he himself was dying. I would imagine someone dying would have a bit more compassion for the families affected.

RIP

4th stringer is a bit misleading. Just because he was 4th or 5th most famous (Knoxville, Bam, and Steve-o for sure) doesn't mean he was some scrub who didn't contribute


Thought he was already dead

I swear I did too

[Latarian Milton]

shit sucks, RIP

but couldn't he implant an artifical chin into his face tbh?

Hell, his wife had some to spare.

[CubanMustGo]

jesus christ, what happened to his jaw?!?

The man fought cancer for decades. Most of his lower jaw had to be removed at one point.

[Fpoonsie]

Boom.

:lol..

[chunticakes]

he looks like a fucking puppet in that pic sans mandible lol.

No big loss here.
