It amazes me that filmmakers will still film, and audiences will still watch, relationships so bankrupt of human feeling that the characters could be reading dialogue written by a computer.
Roger Ebert
Image
Because of the rush of human knowledge, because of the digital revolution, I have a voice, and I do not need to scream.
Roger Ebert
Image
Not everyone needs to be slammed into a category and locked there.
Roger Ebert
Image
Sometimes two people will regard each other over a gulf too wide to ever be bridged, and know immediately what could have happened, and that it never will.
Roger Ebert
Image
A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it.
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
In the best of all possible worlds, directors would obsess about the quality of their storytelling, and not the details of their technical methods.
Roger Ebert
Image
Sometimes you only need to have a few words with a person to know you would like to have many more.

Image
It's not often a thriller keeps me wound up as well as 'Headhunters' did. I knew I was being manipulated and didn't care. It was a pleasure to see how well it was being done.
Roger Ebert
Image
I think we have to get beyond the idea that we have to categorize people.
Roger Ebert
Image
Oh, here comes Mel Blanc, the voice of Bugs Bunny and Jimmy Smits!

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

There are two things you can't argue in film: comedy and eroticism. If something doesn't make you laugh, no one can tell you why it's funny, and it's difficult to reason someone out of an erection.
Roger Ebert
Image
I am grateful for the gifts of intelligence, love, wonder and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting.
Roger Ebert
Image
I just assume I'm right. Partially out of conviction and partially as a pose.
Roger Ebert
Image
I was perfectly content before I was born, and I think of death as the same state. What I am grateful for is the gift of intelligence, and for life, love, wonder, and laughter. You can't say it wasn't interesting. My lifetime's memories are what I have brought home from the trip.

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.
Roger Ebert
Image
And I think both the left and the right should celebrate people who have different opinions, and disagree with them, and argue with them, and differ with them, but don't just try to shut them up.

Image
Families and their problems go on and on, and they aren't solved, they're dealt with.

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