this guy writes. I have to disagree with you on this one. The guy thinks clever insults (why does he hate Bog so much, anyway?) are good film reviewing. They aren't. Check out Pauline Kael or John Simon. Or Agee. Now, you may be right as far as today. But, I hate to sound such a common theme, but Ebert is an excellent writer. He is also a damn fine film reviewer in that he gives lucid reasons for his opinions, and can place them in historical context. That being said, I disagree with his opinions most of the time. But I respect his talent. (Actually, I agreed with Siskel much more...).
