Wait…what?!

I have a strange love/hate relationship with film critic Roger Ebert.  On one hand, he’s always been one of the most constant, opinionated film critics around.  I highly valued his opinion even when we didn’t agree.  On the other hand, the guy hated Newsies, which says a lot about a person.

All of that said, I was shocked to learn about his recent health issues.  Sure, I knew had had heart problems in the past, but are you aware that he can’t even talk anymore?  Why am I just now finding out about this?  This news was made all the more shocking when I saw the recent photo of him that Esquire magazine plans to run next month.  Take a gander at the ’90’s era photo above, then click here for the full story.

Seriously people, start telling me about these things.
