In Reply to: Roger Ebert defends himslef against being accused as soft on movies... posted by RGA on January 4, 2006 at 19:35:14:
Those who read him will continue to do so, those who don't, will not start.He is the product and the epitome of mass culture. If that's your thing, he is your man, if not, look elsewhere.
It only matters to Ebert himself, who would like to go down into history as a serous critic, not a mass-production guru. So he is trying to white wash his image.
I would say - to little, to late. He should have been smarter all along. As he can write well, and has written well on serious films. Too bad those few good things have been lost in the sea of consumer culture pruducts.
