I always checked his reviews, first. :(

I drank because I wanted to drown my sorrows, but now the damned things have learned to swim.

He was rarely long, except when he allowed those dry-ass humorless cunts at Salon to publish his essay.
What I speak out of my mouth is the truth.  It burns like fire.

I think Chicago is mourning tonight in a way it hasn't done for anyone in a long time.   :(

A great loss.  It's a bad day.  Ebert himself said he had no fear of death, only of the pain on the way; I hope his journey was as uneventful as possible, under the circumstances.  I hope his wife's okay too.

Didn't always agree with his reviews, but I always made sure to read them on movies I was really interested in.

RIP.   :(
The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.
-J. R. R. Tolkien

Loved his writing, both his reviews and blogs were always entertaining. 

RIP. :(

Yeah you are. It's clear it was an honest mistake on his part.

It wasn't. I assume my low-brow joke. Too soon, I see now.

That said, I was indeed genuinely surprised - and saddened - learning his death.
