Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.
Roger Ebert
Image
Most people choose movies that provide exactly what they expect, and tell them things they already know. Others are more curious. We are put on this planet only once, and to limit ourselves to the familiar is a crime against our minds.
Roger Ebert
Image
That's what fantasies are for, to help us imagine that things are better than they are.
Roger Ebert
Image
There are few lonelier sights than a good comedian being funny in a movie that doesn't know what funny is.
Roger Ebert
Image
It's the worst kind of bad film: the kind that gets you all worked up and then lets you down, instead of just being lousy from the first shot.
Roger Ebert

We must try to contribute joy to the world.

Dirty Love wasn't written and directed, it was committed. Here is a film so pitiful, it doesn't rise to the level of badness. It is hopelessly incompetent... I am not certain that anyone involved has ever seen a movie, or knows what one is.

I am utterly bored by celebrity interviews. Most celebrities are devoid of interest.

It is hard enough to be good at all, but to be good in comedy speaks for your character.

When I go to the movies, one of my strongest desires is to be shown something new. I want to go to new places, meet new people, have new experiences. When I see Hollywood formulas mindlessly repeated, a little something dies inside of me: I have lost two hours to boors who insist on telling me stories I have heard before.

Jane Austen wrote six of the most beloved novels in the English language, we are informed at the end of Becoming Jane, and so she did. The key word is beloved. Her admirers do not analyze her books so much as they just plain love them to pieces.
Roger Ebert
Image
Many people believe the names of In 'n Out and Steak 'n Shake perfectly describe the contrast in bedroom techniques between the coast and the heartland.

Matthew McConaughey and Kate Hudson star. I neglected to mention that, maybe because I was trying to place them in this review's version of the Witness Protection Program. If I were taken off the movie beat and assigned to cover the interior design of bowling alleys, I would have some idea of how they must have felt as they made this film.

It's easier to identify with loss than love, because we have had so much more experience of it.

It often strikes me that the actors in high school movies look too old.

Praise without merit is more harmful than unearned criticism.
Roger Ebert

We are the playthings of the gods.
Roger Ebert
Image
And yet, even so, there is a way to find happiness. That is to be curious about all of the interlocking events that add up to our lives. To notice connections. To be amused or perhaps frightened by the ways things work out. If the universe is indifferent, what a consolation that we are not.

Why are some people bullied? Because they are different. How? It doesn't matter.

The very fact of snow is such an amazement.
