In the mid-seventies I was an avid, movie-going high school student who always watched Siskel and Ebert hosting "Sneak Previews" on PBS before deciding which movie to see that weekend. Roger was always my go to guy when determining a film's worthiness even to present day. It seemed intentional Rotten Tomatoes forced you to scroll through the other critics comments before you would get to Roger's. Maybe just a coincidence but I like to think it was savvy on their part because once you read an Ebert review everyone else's opinions were secondary.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02678495102538964220noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-35721895774983517122013-04-05T15:24:34.832-07:002013-04-05T15:24:34.832-07:00A Eulogy worthy of newsprint.A Eulogy worthy of newsprint.Paulhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12917994627898754577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-44987651129235611522013-04-05T10:36:04.880-07:002013-04-05T10:36:04.880-07:00Your sentiments (especially the Return of the Jedi...Your sentiments (especially the Return of the Jedi bit) so closely resembled my own that I thought maybe just maybe you're the me that went the other way in the post-college fork in the road.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03734373477550117046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4706282221761427996.post-41791591593906438432013-04-05T04:19:12.079-07:002013-04-05T04:19:12.079-07:00here, here.here, here.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04513325599318764316noreply@blogger.com
