Thinking more on his latest review, I’ve decided that more Americans need to be made aware of Roger Ebert’s undeniable awesomeness. Here, for example, is his memorable assessment of “Deuce Bigalow: European Gigolo” (“Speaking in my official capacity as a Pulitzer Prize winner, Mr. Schneider, your movie sucks.”) Commenter Ryan points us to his equally excellent take on “The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen” (no relation to this blog, of course). Here’s his public smackdown of noted sportsdouche Jay Marrioti. Did I mention he has a blog? And that he takes the time to read his readers’ blogs? What a man.

Ditto. His blog is home to some of the most in-depth, thought-provoking discussion you’ll find on the web. And the dude reads freakin’ EVERYTHING. All the comments. It is insane. Dude was clearly made for the internets.Report
Also, he wrote the screenplay for the ultra-campy Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. Awesome and a half. Also, he lost his ability to speak.
He’s lived like 10 lives worth of interestingness.Report
Too early for eloquence. Ebert rocks! That is all.Report
