I always enjoyed reading and watching his movie reviews.
When did I go from Luke Skywalker to Obi-Wan Kenobi?
I enjoyed "At The Movies" with Gene Siskel. I've enjoyed Ebert's reviews, some of which were very funny, some were very thoughtful.
I greatly admired his character as cancer whittled away at him year after year. He showed amazing strength, grace and courage in adversity.
I prefer to remember him as he was before cancer disfigured and eventually destroyed him. I admire him for how he persevered when cancer could not diminish him.

No. Just some parts wake up faster than others.
Broke parts take a little longer, though.

The radio is reporting that Annette Funicello died. They're waiting to air a special report about it. I can't remember the last time I heard a thing about her.
I think I remember that she had MS.

People will miss that it once meant something to be Southern or Midwestern. It doesn't mean much now, except for the climate. The question, “Where are you from?” doesn't lead to anything odd or interesting. They live somewhere near a Gap store, and what else do you need to know? - Garrison Keillor
