And, ...Thank you for this... a lovely remembrance.<br /><br />And, totally off-topic, any chance you're chipping away at those postcards from back in your "you love me, you really love me" fund drive?<br /><br />Because we do truly love you. And we check the mail every day.

When I was a mopey depressed adolescent, I started reading Roger Ebert's Great Movies reviews, and then started buying them, and then studied cinema just for fun. It actually changed my life and made me fall in love with the cinema.<br /><br />His blog is one of the best things I have ever found on the internet. He's just amazing. I am so, so sad. I got to feeling like I should have left him a comment or two to say thankyou.<br /><br />Anyway, it doesn't surprise me that you're a fan. I love your blog, Dorothy Snarker! For once I'm getting in there and actually saying something!

I've adopted a more light-hearted approach in that they'll always be alive to us. And with that thought I was hoping against hope that maybe, just maybe Ebert could somehow slip us a critique of the other side. Soooo curious.<br /><br />P.S. I love his politics, thanks Snarker for the quotes on kindness. This is a big bad world. --- how'd that slip through?eggheadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00588124238754622908noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-26871122.post-57728410392815351772013-04-05T07:51:21.759-07:002013-04-05T07:51:21.759-07:00I first became a fan of Roger Ebert when I was a y...I first became a fan of Roger Ebert when I was a young girl and my aunt had his yearly Movie Home Companion books.
