Hartamophone Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 Sad news. He was great in so many arenas, not least of which was Twitter, which he embraced fervently.Chris Jones's profile on him for Esquire a couple of years ago - after he lost his voice - is brilliant and illuminating journalism and worth your time if you were interested enough to open this thread:Link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 (edited) CHICAGO—Calling the overall human experience “poignant,†“thought-provoking,†and a “complete tour de force,†film critic Roger Ebert praised existence Thursday as “an audacious and thrilling triumph.†“While not without its flaws, life, from birth to death, is a masterwork, and an uplifting journey that both touches the heart and challenges the mind,†said Ebert, adding that while the totality of all humankind is sometimes “a mess in places,†it strives to be a magnum opus and, according to Ebert, largely succeeds at this goal. “At times brutally sad, yet surprisingly funny, and always completely honest, I wholeheartedly recommend existence. If you haven’t experienced it yet, then what are you waiting for? It is not to be missed.†Ebert later said that while human existence’s running time was “a little on the long side,†it could have gone on much, much longer and he would have been perfectly happy.

Kanada Kev Posted April 5, 2013 Report Share Posted April 5, 2013 I used to love watching Siskel & Ebert squabble, debate, and sometimes agree on films. Always had good insight. :thumbup: :thumbup: :thumbup: forever! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
