Dear Roger Ebert,

I hear you up there arguing with your pal Gene Siskel already, and your family is waiting for you.

It may not seem like much but you taught me to think about movies. For that, I thank you and your brother Siskel.

My husband knows nearly every change in the Star Wars 4-6 entree. He is waiting for the original to come back, and for the collection we lent a friend of the new ones that was never returned.

Breaking it down to its parts and figuring out what the movie/director/producer really wanted to impart is the key, then defining whether they executed it.

Thumbs up to Roger Ebert for educating at least two generations. To his dear wife Chaz I give my heartfelt condolences. Cheers, Dee

  1. For years now (esp w/easy access to Internet), I have referred to Ebert’s reviews when choosing which adult-oriented movies to see…
    Thanks to him, I’ve gotten outside my comfort zone – “Killer Joe” is one such film; you’ll never look at Matthew McConaughey in the same light again!

  2. My question is: was Siskel at the door, while St. Peter was at the heavenly Starbucks. Or St. Gene?
