Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: RIP Roger Ebert
Even more than the many written tributes this past week, the memorial reinforced to me how much I didn't know about Mr. Ebert. More to the point, I quite underestimated the extent of his non-television work. Kevin is spot on about the production, but I had the impression that the streaming was, not an afterthought, but something that was a last minute addition.

They do not operate on the same world of logic as rational people, so there is no direct link to their stupidity and the funeral of a film critic/social critic. By their reasoning, the death of any sinner is cause to celebrate and publicly shout their hate speech.

Not sure how much time Aaron spends browsing this message board these days, but he posted a few thoughts on Roger Ebert's passing publicly on his Facebook, so I doubt he'd mind me copying and pasting them here (he also posted a photo of himself with Gene and Roger): On Oct. 22, 1994, I was thrilled to receive a message that Roger had joined my email newsletter list. A few hours later, I got this: I have received my first issue of Late Show News and enjoyed it immensely! Where has this publication been all my life? Thanks! Roger Ebert. That, as much as my first check from the Village Voice, told me I had arrived. How many more nice things he said about my work over the years.
