Topic: The movie critic who was a star, remembering Roger Ebert: Influential film critic Roger Ebert died yesterday (THURS) at age 70 after a public battle with cancer that lasted a decade. His friend and iconic filmmaker Martin Scorsese said it's a personal loss for him and for many more, "[Ebert's death is] an incalculable loss for movie culture and for film criticism." The Chicago Sun-Times writer rose to national popularity in the early 1980s as co-host of "Siskel & Ebert" - a weekly, movie-review television show. His counterpart at the Chicago Tribune, Gene Siskel, was the perfect co-star. As the Sun-Times obituary illustrates, "the trim, balding Siskel, perfectly balanced the bespectacled, portly Ebert." Still it was really his passionate and prolific writing on film that won respect. He wrote hundreds of reviews a year. After his cancer diagnosis, he scheduled treatments around film premieres and screenings. His energy never seemed to flag until earlier this week when he announced a leave from regular writing due to further cancer illness. What are your memories of Ebert? What influence did he have on movies and movie criticism?
