I do not fear death. I know it is coming, and I do not fear it, because I believe there is nothing on the other side of death to fear.

Dogs notice, they share, they draw conclusions, they like it when they're able to be of service and are touchingly grateful when they're praised.
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.
Roger Ebert

James Cameron's films have always been distinguished by ground-breaking technical excellence.
Roger Ebert
Image
The movie cheerfully offends all civilized notions of taste, decorum, manners and hygiene... The movie is vulgar? Vulgarity is when we don't laugh. When we laugh, it's merely human nature.
Roger Ebert

The very fact of snow is such an amazement.
Roger Ebert
Image
Cinema, for me, has always been something like music composed with photographic images.

Your intellect may be confused, but your emotions will never lie to you.

The time in between my clapping is ma. If you just have non-stop action with no breathing space at all, it's just busyness, But if you take a moment, then the tension building in the film can grow into a wider dimension. If you just have constant tension at 80 degrees all the time you just get numb.

Crowds can be frightening. They have a way of impressing the low, base taste upon their members. Watching the way thousands of people in his audience could not think for themselves, could not find the courage to allow their ordinary feelings of decency and taste to prevail, I understood better how demagogues are possible.

Movies are not about moving, but about whether to move.
Roger Ebert
Image
Wes Anderson's mind must be an exciting place for a story idea to be born. It immediately becomes more than a series of events and is transformed into a world with its own rules, in which everything is driven by emotions and desires as convincing as they are magical.
Roger Ebert
Image
Many really good films allow us to empathize with other lives.
Roger Ebert
Image
There must be a better reason to have a baby than to provide a plot point in a rom-com. Don't you think?
Roger Ebert
Image
Art is the closest we can come to understanding how a stranger really feels.
Roger Ebert
Image
It's strange: We leave the movie having enjoyed its conclusion so much that we almost forgot our earlier reservations. But they were there, and they were real.
Roger Ebert
Image
We exist to have our wealth moved up the economic chain out of our reach.
Roger Ebert
Image
I do suspect my star ratings average too high. But, of course, star ratings are ridiculous. I'm stuck with them.

A movie is not about what it is about. It is about how it is about it.

The Golden Thumb is not as good as the Oscar, but it is a lot of fun.
