This was a refreshing, nicely done interview. I've worked in television myself and the stress is always on getting things out quickly, hurry up so we can move on to the next thing, gimme your soundbyte and get out. But something must be said for sitting down and calmly answering questions, thinking about your answer, and letting the words take you where they will. Nobody does that anymore, but you can only learn something or understand a person if you give them the time to show you The Truth.

I wouldn't be the film lover I am today if it wasn't for Roger. A wonderful writer and film-critic.

I have such fond memories of Siskel and Ebert. I used to watch their reviews all the time when I was a chld/teenager. I loved their personalities, their arguments. It was great to watch two people who loved film and really enjoyed discussing it.

What happened to Roger Ebert ?

He's been battling thyroid cancer for the last few years

@Riddler95

He's still kicking around the web and such, witty and knowledgeable as ever.

@Riddler,

He had thyroid cancer, which spread to his jaw eventually, causing him to have to remove his jaw. He can't speak or eat anymore but he is still very active and publishes great reviews, refusing to be brought down.

Shame Roger had to lose his voice. He's still the best. Keep on writing those articles!

Ebert is my mentor, in a sense. When he talks about people who started taking the movies seriously because of their show, that describes me. I feel like he is passionate about what he does. He has a great love for the cinema and that comes out in his reviews.

Roger Ebert is my rolemodel in a way, I don't want to be a film critic, I want to be a film maker, but his passion for film has set my mind to the movies for the last 10 years. I hope I can make something he is willing to review someday.

The interview never asked about Ebert writing Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Russ Meyer's Up! and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens. I have to give the interviewer two thumbs down for that.
