Her coping strategy includes remembering the good times with Roger Ebert.
His TV shows with Gene Siskel had as much to do with stoking this critic's interest in film and film criticism as anyone he knew personally.
From reviews of films both classic and awful, to memorials to Gene Siskel, to an ode to his rice cooker.
It didn't stink.
The work of this most famous of film writers was accessible to people who normally had no patience for critics.
From his famously scathing reviews to his eloquent defense of film criticism.
Sadly, just a day after announcing his "leave of presence."
He will still write, but much less often.
More than 300. And Argo's his favorite.
"Not in best of shape," he writes.
His wife says he was busting out "tricky disco dance moves."
"They performed it with complicated hand/knee slaps and everything."
It's not a lack of viewers, it's a lack of funding.
Get on Kickstarter, Roger!
He hasn't been able to crack their esoteric formula.
"I was born inside the movie of my life."
Plus: an app that transforms your iPod library and speakers that transform a gas can.
We're speechless.
"That was unseemly."
This is unnecessary.
He finally won!
It's actually the funniest of the batch.
With assistance from his wife, Chaz.
The ambitious sperm-donor/odd-couple comedy tries many things, and succeeds at all of them. And we have a clip.
