A sad day, a loss of a gifted writer and critic.

I keep thinking about are all the films he'll never get to see and review. What a shame, and what a loss for us all.

That's some very sad news. He was a gifted writer and communicator for the medium. {nm} LonePirate Apr 04, 12:47

His last post at Sun Times. "At the Movies" was one main influence that got me into following new releases. Antibody Apr 04, 13:03

Having Siskel & Ebert communicate their intellect AND passion on TV was a seismic moment not just for film criticism but the entire MAlbi Apr 04, 21:04

He fought the good fight for as long as he could. He & Gene Siskel helped nurture my love of movies. He will be missed. {nm} Samuel_L_Bronkowitz Apr 04, 13:11

His last written words: "Thank you for going on this journey with me. I'll see you at the movies." {nm} Samuel_L_Bronkowitz Apr 04, 13:13

He really loved what he was doing in life, was living with no regrets and example to us all. Fredjet Apr 04, 13:28

Mr. Ebert was a great writer, an insightful journalist, an expert reviewer. His work transcended film. I do not expect to see his equal.{nm} DTXbro Apr 04, 14:34

I must have been in junior high when I started watching At the Movies {nm} tealfan Apr 04, 15:53

He was my favorite movie critic and the one I most agreed with. Heaven's gain as Siskel & Ebert resumes Up There. {nm} KalElFan Apr 04, 16:20

Rest in peace.... {nm} Peterlee Apr 04, 18:03

So sad. He was a good man. Titan of industry. {nm} thatpj Apr 04, 18:11

RIP... I still enjoy reading "The Great Movies". joeoftexas Apr 04, 18:16

He will be missed! {nm} tallbridge Apr 04, 18:51

I fell in love with the movies via Roger's unbridled passion for them. This is an enormous loss for everyone. This one truly hurts. {nm} goodvibe61 Apr 05, 00:18
