  1. Russ Meyer and Roger Ebert teamed up again for 1976's Up! which is a little bit fairy tale, a little bit Nazisploitation, and a whole lot of busty women. I... I mean it's Russ Meyer.

  3. Perhaps one of the more famous Russ Meyer films is the pseudo-sequel to Jacqueline Susann's Valley of the Dolls. Beyond the Valley of the Dolls isn't just a kind of funny title, or a studio film for Meyer, it was written by famous movie critic Roger Ebert.

  5. "The way seemed clear for ['Hoop Dreams' to win] an Academy Award as best documentary. Then a shameful thing happened. It wasn’t even nominated. We learned... that the members of the committee had a system. They carried little flashlights. When one gave up on a film, he waved a light on the screen. When a majority of flashlights had voted, the film was switched off. 'Hoop Dreams' was stopped after 15 minutes."

Das Einzige, was man nicht tun sollte, ist, diesen Film ernst zu nehmen. Seine Wurzeln liegen in traditionellen Monster-Sex-Fantasy-Filmen mit Spezialeffekten.“, schrieb Roger Ebert. (ARD, Wh)

  19. I watched "Dear Frankie" (2005) because of Roger Ebert's review (rogerebert.com/reviews/dear-fr), then promptly bought the DVD.

    If you can find it, do yourself a favor, and watch it.

  20. CW: Roger Ebert, alcoholism

    Coming across Roger Ebert's review of "When a Man loves a Woman" (rogerebert.com/reviews/when-a-) again, and then re-reading his essay on AA and alcoholism recovery.

    rogerebert.com/roger-ebert/my-

    He died twelve years ago come April, and we are all poorer for it.

  21. I am 27 minutes in and I am not yet liking #HundredsOfBeavers, which is regrettable, because I chose to buy it rather than rent it. Fuck you, Kermode. Is there anything that we can do to resurrect #RogerEbert or somehow conjure up a reincarnation of him by a different name? I trusted him with my time and money; we were film brothers. He even wrote a book about rice-cooker cookery.

  22. Just want to share this utterly charming re-review of "E.T." that Roger Ebert wrote in 2002, phrased as a letter to his grandkids who he watched it with.

  23. #CapitalPunishment #Holocaust #Gaza #RogerEbert

    Indeed. It's not happening to US, right? We don't have to see it, think about it.

    Right up to the point it IS us facing death.

    A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
    The ability of so many people to live comfortably with the idea of capital punishment is perhaps a clue to how so many Europeans were able to live with the idea of the Holocaust: Once you accept the notion that the state has the right to kill someone and the right to define what is a capital crime, aren't you halfway there? -Roger Ebert, film critic (18 Jun 1942-2013)

  25. Der Kollaps des Kapitalismus – Margin Call (2011)

    Fast 20 Jahre nach der Weltfinanzkrise, dem Kollaps der Lehman Brothers, und der Rettung von Banken überall auf der Welt mit dem Geld der Steuerzahler:innen, ist das ziemlich atemberaubende Debüt von J. C. Chandor noch immer ein Schlüssel, um den Finanzkapitalismus zu verstehen. Die Frage bleibt: Haben wir dazu gelernt, seitdem?

  27. "At the end of the film, I had to smile, recognizing how Shyamalan has essentially ditched a payoff. He knows, as we all sense, that payoffs have grown boring. The mechanical resolution of a movie's problems is something we sit through at the end, but it's the setup and the buildup that keep our attention."

    #RogerEbert, 2002

    Maybe we were all sick of set up and payoff in 2002, but by 2022 we were desperate for screenwriting capable of doing it well.

  28. #Quotes #Death #RogerEbert

    Roger Ebert on his impending death:

    "I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear,” he writes in a journal entry titled ‘Go Gently into That Good Night.’

    “I hope to be spared as much pain as possible on the approach path. I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.

    What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can’t say it wasn’t interesting.

    My lifetime’s memories are what I have brought home from the trip. I will require them for eternity no more than that little souvenir of the Eiffel Tower I brought home from Paris.”

  29. Kindness

    I’m sure this link will break sooner rather than later. But for now, Go Gentle Into That Good Night

    I respect kindness in human beings first of all, and kindness to animals. I don’t respect the law; I have a total irreverence for anything connected with society except that which makes the roads safer, the beer stronger, the food cheaper and the old men and old women warmer in the winter and happier in the summer.

    ~ Brendan Behan

    For 57 words, that does a pretty good job of summing it up. “Kindness” covers all of my political beliefs. No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end of it all, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn’t always know this, and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.

    ~ Roger Ebert
