RIP Roger. Thanks for sharing your passion and scholarship with several generations of film enthusiasts.
Amen. Such a sad loss. Rest in peace, Mr. Ebert, you will be missed.Wow, what a shock after just reading his highly inspiring and even reassuring blog post! He had horrible battles with various afflictions, but what a testament to the human spirit. He leaves behind a legacy of great writing, criticism and commentary, but I think for a little while I will consider his example of courage his true legacy. Rest in peace Mr. Ebert.

And oddly enough, as Wes Craven just pointed out on Twitter, Ebert gave The Last House On The Left its only positive review back in 1972. While I'll never find a critic that I agree with all the time, I've never read a critic who I agreed with as much as Ebert.Michael Elliott said:I'm not going to sit here and say I agreed with everything Ebert wrote. In fact, I think both were quite stupid in their attack of the horror genre back in the 80s.
