Roger Ebert dies at 70 after battle with cancer - Chicago Sun-Times (http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/17320958-418/roger-ebert-dies-at-70-after-battle-with-cancer.html)

Wow...70 is young.


Siskel was only 53.

That sucks; always enjoyed him.

That sucks. I used to watch Siskel and Ebert all the time when I was younger. I'll miss seeing his name on the critic list. :(

RIP Roger.

Damn I just read an article that said he would be scaling back on his movie reviews because his cancer had returned. And now he's gone.

RIP Roger Ebert.

Sad stuff I always regard his opinion when choosing a movie. I give this news 2 thumbs down.

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. 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. I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, 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.

We just lost another of the good guys.

RIP Roger Ebert.

He scaled back.

RIP. The man put film critique on the map, imo.

Sucky. I remember when he lost half his jaw from the cancer, it was awful. I remember watching Siskel and Ebert's reviews as a kid.
