For making Ebert and Roeper watchable again.
For exhibiting laudably intelligent and humorous characteristics.
For delivering substantial, articulate, and mentally stimulating film critiques.
For offsetting Richard Roeper’s overall weasellyness.
For obviously loving your job and for conveying that general love to your audience.
There are no YouTube clips of his recent Ebert and Roeper appearances, but YouTube, at the very least, has some footage from his HDNet show which is called Higher Definition. The link is to one of those amusingly frivolous outtakes reels. Enjoy.

I’ll have to check out the chemistry.
That whole “Ebert” doing written reviews, but no longer appearing on TV is a mystery to me. Love him.

I think it must be because of his recent illness. I like Ebert well enough, but it really saddened me when he departed because Roeper’s overall haughtiness was then completely unchecked.
