Roger Ebert — my favorite movie critic of all time — made his first public appearance since cancer surgery. SO glad just to actually SEE him. I didn’t know, though, that he’d had part of his jaw removed and was unable to talk. I read he’s having more surgery to enable him to speak again.
Roger! Please get better soon! I know you’re still writing, reviewing, thank God, but I’m not ready yet for a world without your voice. I just love to hear you TALK about movies, hear the passion, hear just how darn smart you are about the whole topic.
I will happily procure you a voice box donor from any number of Boheme customers. Email me!
And, please, get better!
I totally feel the same way.
His announcement that he would indeed attend his own festival – but that people might be shocked at his appearance – just tore at my heart.
I am SO glad he’s going.
Get well soon, Mr. Ebert.
I hadn’t heard, but I’m glad he’s out and about again. Two BIG thumbs-up for Mr. Ebert!
