I saw Roger Ebert’s final tweet yesterday, and I didn’t follow the link. It somehow didn’t quite register that he was at death’s door. He passed away today. I’m sad to see him go not because I was ever much of a fan of his film reviews, but because I thought his Twitter feed was one of the best. He had the same sense of complete outrage at Republican antics that I have. But he also had a wide array of interests and was always sharing interesting articles.
He probably should be best known for his Russ Meyer screenplays, but most people will remember him for his thumbs up/thumbs down movie reviews on television. To me, that was the least interesting thing about him.
