Dammit, I was going to say that.

/Goodnight, funny critic

DemonEater		2013-04-04 03:47:40 PM

That was quick, we just had the "Ebert cuts his workload" article about his cancer returning yesterday.

Ann Coulter's Diiick		2013-04-04 03:47:48 PM

In before some dumbass comments on his lack of a ja-....too late...

babysealclubber		2013-04-04 03:48:17 PM

No words

MaudlinMutantMollusk		2013-04-04 03:48:23 PM

No bad jokes from me today.

/RIP king of the movie reviewers

Rev.K		2013-04-04 03:48:33 PM

His ship has sailed into that dark, uncertain night.

RIP.

thelunatick		2013-04-04 03:48:35 PM

Somehow I would think "the balcony is now closed" would be a better headline.

Lady Beryl Ersatz-Wendigo		2013-04-04 03:48:36 PM

Ave atque vale. He will be missed.

coeyagi		2013-04-04 03:48:37 PM

If this is a start of a "Celebrity Triple" of deaths, I hope this guy is next.

srtpointman		2013-04-04 03:48:38 PM

I remember watching At the Movies. Very sad.

vegaswench		2013-04-04 03:48:49 PM

The videos of him and Siskel bickering were hilarious. So long, Roger, you will be missed.

Fred Smythe		2013-04-04 03:48:59 PM

I was going to go with "The balcony is now closed," but I like the sentiment of this headline better.

markie_farkie		2013-04-04 03:49:01 PM

Wow that was fast... RIP movie guy...

HaywoodJablonski		2013-04-04 03:49:03 PM

Get ready for Roeper and White

BradleyP		2013-04-04 03:49:05 PM

Still no cure for Siskel.

Uzzah		2013-04-04 03:49:06 PM

Great, now we'll never get to see the final chapter of the "Valley of the Dolls" trilogy.

/goodnight, man who thought "The Jerk" was just about "funny hats"

clintster		2013-04-04 03:49:08 PM

The balcony is closed.

/goodnight reviewer man

Lee's_Austin		2013-04-04 03:49:09 PM

Man. An end of an era.

Good bye, critical man.

Daedalus27		2013-04-04 03:49:09 PM

The balcony is closed

cgraves67		2013-04-04 03:49:20 PM

The world lost a good one.

Arkanaut		2013-04-04 03:49:25 PM

Good night, funny man.

GoldenMetalRaven		2013-04-04 03:49:27 PM

No more "Men On Film"

//Twitter beat Fark by 8 mins...

Lost Thought 00		2013-04-04 03:50:03 PM

An absolute Icon, but his work seemed to get soft towards the end.

SlothB77		2013-04-04 03:50:06 PM

RIP

it is going to happen sooner or later. so might as well get the ball rolling.

ZoSo_the_Crowe		2013-04-04 03:50:12 PM

Video games are officially art again.

Moderator		2013-04-04 03:50:13 PM

downstairs: is suntimes.com is farked for anyone else?

It apparently has crashed under the sudden load, which is why we are using an NPR link.

TWX		2013-04-04 03:50:17 PM

So much for a sequel to Beyond the Valley of the Dolls...

MonkeyButton		2013-04-04 03:50:18 PM

Vincent Gallo is going to have to disagree with you on this one. He's giving it a thumbs up.

Pfighting Polish		2013-04-04 03:50:21 PM

The cancer had just been revealed to have come back. He said he was outlining plans for doing other work even though he couldn't do full reviewing. He even said something about how he'll just be living out a dream of reviewing only the films he wanted to review.

I think he kind of knew what was coming. He was outlining it in his own unique way and was making sure plans were in place to continue his legacy, but it sounds like he knew.

That kind of dedication to what you do ... solemn respect, out of me at least.

Brain_Damage		2013-04-04 03:50:29 PM

Cancer sucks.

Dow Jones and the Temple of Doom		2013-04-04 03:50:32 PM

Friends don't let jackasses get jaw cancer and die

Sirjohnfalstaff		2013-04-04 03:50:32 PM

He was an excellent film critic, and a pretty sharp mind in general. He'll be missed.

Redfire29		2013-04-04 03:50:33 PM

The last movie he reviewed was "The Host".

So thanks Stephanie Meyers, you killed Roger Ebert. I hope you're proud of yourself.

airsupport		2013-04-04 03:50:34 PM

Rest in peace, sir, and thank you.

Broke Angry and Depressed		2013-04-04 03:50:40 PM

I was totally going to submit this story with the same tagline!

/Damn you subby!

Ahvren		2013-04-04 03:50:41 PM

Got the AP newsflash on my phone, Fark wasn't that far behind. I have a sad now. RIP.

gunga galunga		2013-04-04 03:50:43 PM

Lee's_Austin: Man. An end of an era.

Good bye, critical man.

This.

/will be watching old episodes of Siskel and Ebert tonight

Almost Everybody Poops		2013-04-04 03:50:51 PM

RIP best movie critic ever.

At least he can pair up with Siskel again.

Frankenstorm		2013-04-04 03:50:55 PM

Very sad.

eggrolls		2013-04-04 03:50:56 PM

The balcony better be closed. Everybody who goes up there gets cancer.

lepton68		2013-04-04 03:50:59 PM

Looking forward to reading his review of Heaven.

Arkanaut		2013-04-04 03:51:03 PM

I've got Nelson Mandela on my list, although I hope he doesn't.
