It was an ok story, but the ending sucked.

It was very brave how he fought cancer in a very public way, despite its devastating effect on his appearance. Watched a lot of movies based on his reviews.

I remember watching Siskel and Ebert when i was a kid on their old PBS show. Not that i really cared how they reviewed a particular movie....but it was the first time i can remember people arguing about film passionately and discussing it on a deeper level. (Basically what we do on this board about a wide variety of subjects)

RIP Roger, you will be missed.

Im curious to what the last movie he watched was. Apparently his last published review will be for "To the Wonder"

I always preferred him to Siskel - he seemed to be the more down to earth of the two. Later, after Siskel died, it seemed like he became more Siskel-like, and I generally agreed more with Roeper's opinion. But I always enjoyed his show.

The best part of Siskel and Ebert was when they went on Letterman or Leno and ripped on each other. I was watching some clips on YouTube last night. Funny stuff.

He was a great writer and never afraid to let his readers know his true feelings about the movies he saw. I remember reading his review of the Jackass movie and how much he wanted to hate it, but that he laughed basically from beginning to end.
