Ebert Being a Jerk
Sometimes when I read a review by Roger Ebert, it reminds me of what a jerk he can be, even though sometimes he's admittedly on the money. While he has some very positive things to say in his review of "The Sterile Cuckoo," he also says some ridiculously snarky and, I think, untrue things. For example he says about Jerry, "And Jerry is slow. Stupid might be a better word." I sure don't consider Jerry to be stupid. He's awkward at times, but that's pretty normal for someone of his age and lack of experience.
I caught Ebert in a lie in his review of "Last Exit to Brooklyn," or at least a major falsehood. While Ebert is one of the Big Shots of movie reviewers, one should take whatever he says with a grain of salt.
