But then, Ebert's the kind of guy who wouldn't change his opinion unless some modern-day, dexterity-free slideshow like Myst came out and gave him exactly one and only one interesting decision. A 10 minute game that had him pick between a baby falling over a waterfall or a girl with big cans falling over. Completely off the radar for any reasonable person, Ebert would finally change his opinion because he discovered it himself. He totally seems the kind of guy who actively shits upon things that his friends found out about and try to make him watch or see or play because if he didn't find it himself it must be bad.


the dark and gritty...Ice Cream Jonsey!

It’s almost inconceivable to think that a film that has proven to be so overwhelmingly influential was once in danger of being lost forever. Initially relegated to the drive-ins and the bottom half of double bills, Night Of The Living Dead might well have remained just an obscure footnote in motion picture history had not Roger Ebert, in one of those fits of inexplicable short-sightedness that sometimes seize critics and morals crusaders, chosen to launch a savage attack upon the film in the pages of "Reader’s Digest" – thus catapulting it to national prominence, and bringing it to the attention of thousands upon thousands of people who otherwise might never have heard of it.
