The devil takes one of his own
serail asshat Roger Ebert finally cacks, raising the collective IQ if the planet a click or two.
Nil nisi bonum ad mortum, I suppose, but the man made me nuts, his opinions about almost everything subjective were pompous and annoying, and his opinions about objective things were always wrong.
At least they waited until he was seventy. I’m sure hell has a whole amusement park for him by now.
He’s from my home town so he has the status of a demi god there. Not unexpected coming from Sodom on the Boneyard. Nil nisi nuh uh. Guy was a commie asshole. Typical lefty. All smiles until you disagree and then the mask slips and you see the devils imp beneath.
I used to correspond with Christopher Hitchens via email, and I asked him why he savaged so many of the people he wrote obituary notices for: Ronald Reagan, Bob Hope, Mother Theresa, Jerry Falwell; whether “de mortuis, nil nisi bonum” was a better policy. He said (I guess he’d been drinking, because it was the only time he used profanity with me) fuck no, that all of those bastards would have savaged him had he predeceased them, so he saw no purpose in not returning the favor.
eeeew. Did you scrub yourself afterwards?
Man, I thought I was the only one. I like movies and I enjoyed watching him on Siskel & Ebert, etc. I thought he was a good movie reviewer, until he got cancer and went crazy. Then I had to stop reading anything from him.
It seems to me the libtards, in any industry, seem to think they know EVERYTHING and are CORRECT about EVERYTHING, despite overwhelming evidence to the contrary. Is that just perceptual bias on my part?
I read a couple things he wrote before he lost his mind. He was just another smug commie asshat. I’m reminded of an oooold saying. “Who the Gods would destroy, they first make mad.” They did a pretty good job on that fool.
Recall what Heinlein wrote about Critics.
Never did like the man, or his little dog two.
Siskel had it all over Ebert.
