Breaking News: RIP Roger Ebert Dead At Age 70

[Jahmal]

It was reviewing movies that made Roger Ebert as famous and wealthy as many of the stars who felt the sting or caress of his pen or were the recipients of his televised thumbs-up or thumbs-down judgments. But in his words and in his life he displayed the soul of a poet whose passions and interests extended far beyond the darkened theaters where he spent so much of his professional life.

The Pulitzer Prize-winning movie critic for the Chicago Sun-Times for more than 45 years and for more than three decades the co-host of one of the most powerful programs in television history (initially with the late Gene Siskel, the movie critic for the Chicago Tribune, and, following Siskel’s death in 1999, with his Sun-Times collogue Richard Roeper), Ebert died Thursday, according to a family friend.

He was 70 years old.

RIP to him. Kinda crazy to imagine not hearing "Siskel & Ebert give the film two thumbs up!" now that both are gone.

Didn't know he dated Oprah at one time, although I did know his current wife was Black.

He gave a few great black films "Best of" such as The Color Purple, Malcolm X, Hoop Dreams, Do The Right Thing & Eve's Bayou. I'm probably missing a couple though
