Wow. Thanks for the link, I don;t know if I;ve ever seen a blog entry quite like that before. I wonder if A&W Root Beer is just a universal sign for careless summer father-son (or daughter) memories, or if I just happen to have that in common with Ebert.

He is a gifted writer and you can rely on him for reviews. I can’t imagine having no smell or taste. It’d be a long walk off a short wharf for me I suspect.

Thanks for linking to that, Will.

Ebert’s one of the few reviewers whose reviews I consistently read. I don’t always agree with him, but it’s always clear where he’s coming from.

“You don’t realize it, but we’re at dinner right now.”

Ebert is the best indicator of whether or not I will like a movie. I’ve liked some movies he has loathed and has loathed some movies he’s liked, of course. However, he does such a good job of explaining why he liked or disliked a movie that I can tell whether or not I am likely to be on the same page as he is.
