Growing up, I missed the whole 'Three Stooges' thing. Either they weren't on the station in my hometown, or we hadn't bought a TV set yet, or they came to town too late for me. I'm pretty sure that at the right age, I would have loved them.

On this ancient and miraculous world, where such beautiful natural and living things have evolved, something has gone wrong when life itself is used as a manufacturing process.

It is not enough for a movie to be righteous. It must also be watchable.

I think most people are more susceptible to prejudice than to reason. And the parrots of talk radio are just sending out the same stuff.

Oh, here comes Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Jimmy Smits!

The film argues to the young that the old were young once, too, and contain within them all that the young know, and more.

The right really dominates radio, and it's amazing how much energy the right spends telling us that the press is slanted to the left when it really isn't. They want to shut other people up. They really don't understand the First Amendment.

Some movies run off the rails. This one is like the train crash in The Fugitive. I watched it in mounting gloom, realizing I was witnessing something historic, a film that for decades to come will be the punch line of jokes about bad movies.

It's like the high school production of something you saw at Steppenwolf, with the most gifted students in drama class playing the John Malkovich and Joan Allen roles.

There's something depressing about a young couple helplessly in love. Their state is so perfect, it must be doomed. They project such qualities on their lover that only disappointment can follow.

But the fact is, most people are not going to be rich someday.
Roger Ebert
Image
I am proudly a liberal. I am also patriotic, reasonable, pro-American, and stand for family values.

Because I don't give the studios advanced quotes or an advanced look at my reviews. I think the readers deserve to read my reviews before the studios do.

I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state.
