I feel the exact same way. My grandmother passed away about 2 months ago due to lung cancer at like 67 or 68, so far too young, just like Ebert. I feel like your comment is somehow not vindictive enough.<br /><br />As for Goodman and Buscemi, I feel like they got or are now getting the recognition they deserved on the small screen (Goodman with Roseanne and Buscemi with Boardwalk Empire), but I completely agree that they never received the big screen parts their talents deserve. If you think about it, the one role for each of them often considered to be their best (this one for Goodman and Fargo for Buscemi) are both Coen Bros. films.Michael Patisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660402132708891205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-67876095532690952022013-04-05T03:47:13.149-04:002013-04-05T03:47:13.149-04:00I've never seen Ebert, but I did read a lot of...I've never seen Ebert, but I did read a lot of his articles reviews. He was a great, no, he was The Best. He will be missed for sure. Fuckin cancer :( Sorry. R.I.P. <br />As for Goodman, I always liked him, he is one of those underrated actors who should have been much bigger stars, like Steve Buscemi ("Shut the f**k up, Donnie!" - just came to my mind). Maybe if you're not the average hot guy then you're reduced to play villains or comic relief, fortunately there are intelligent directors and producers who know how to utilize these people's talents.Lezliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04444861894143771110noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-71147688939029562042013-04-05T01:33:29.750-04:002013-04-05T01:33:29.750-04:00I really liked Goodman in this.

While I obviously didn't agree with him on everything, I agreed with him more often than not. The combined loss of Siskel and Ebert, though, is something I think the field of film criticism is going to take a while to recover from. Roeper and Travers are fine, but they're just not Siskel and Ebert. They were the Bosley Crowthers of the post-studio era and they brought such attention to film. Ebert (and Siskel, though he's been gone awhile) will be missed greatly for a long while to come.Michael Patisonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03660402132708891205noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-16892129640785207342013-04-04T23:18:49.437-04:002013-04-04T23:18:49.437-04:00I dont really no what to say, um ive never seen Ba...I dont really no what to say, um ive never seen Barton Fink (im only a kid I aint some big movie goer lol)<br /><br />As for Ebert, again im only a kid so I never really watched him on tv and stuff (I wasnt born when he was with Siskel) so I dont really no what to say.RatedRStarnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2457552600380761837.post-52444242353551394442013-04-04T23:02:24.292-04:002013-04-04T23:02:24.292-04:00Agreed absolutely amazing performance.

His reviews inspired me to even want to become a critic.

As for Eber...Hmm much closer to Mulholland Drive. <br /><br />As for Ebert I always enjoyed and still do enjoy watching the old videos with him and Gene Siskel. I can't say I always agreed with either of them, like Ebert on Blue Velvet and Siskel on Unforgiven, but their talking and arguing about film was always compelling to watch.

On a weirdness scale of "David Lynch's Mulholland Drive" to "David Lynch's The Straight Story", how would it rank?<br /><br />Also, are you in mourning like me over Ebert?
