Roger Ebert...Holy Cow

I just saw some youtube clips of him on Oprah this week, and I would trade places with Gene Siskel rather than be in the condition this poor bastard is in.

What a weird coincidence. Both (Siskell and Ebert) had cancer in the head area apparently. Roger is now cancer free, but what a toll it took on his body. I'll bet if you ask him he'd tell you it's better being alive than dead. What a shame though...

The Esquire interview with Ebert is a really interesting read. He's a happy guy. Sure, he's lost half his jaw and he can't speak anymore, but he's found a type of happiness with this; he's become a better and more prolific writer as a result.

I admire the guy. Love his work. He has a great mind too.

Just goes to show how dangerous Hollywood entertainment really is...
