I’m going to miss you Roger
I didn’t have a chance to post my thoughts on the passing of Roger Ebert. I know it’s old news now, but I must make note of his impact on my life.
I’ve always been a film nut. I love good films – the “arty” films, intelligent films, etc. – and I love a good “popcorn flick” once in a while too. I just love films of every kind.
I never cared much for film critics, but I always enjoyed watching Ebert’s show. I learned early on that his reviews were often filled with spoilers, but I still watched.
When he began sharing reviews online, that was a big thing for me personally. After watching a film, one of the first things I would do was visit his review. Typically, I would visit IMDB to figure out who the heck all those people I recognized were, then I’d visit Ebert’s review.
I’m going to miss that, and I will very much appreciate watching older films more than ever because I’ll get to do that some more.
In the days just past his passing, many links were shared, these were my favorites.
