Roger Ebert dead at 70
Film critic Roger Ebert has died after losing his fight with cancer.
Two days ago Ebert posted a blog about his cancer returning. He said he would be taking a “leave of presence” from his job as a film critic at Chicago Sun Times, where he had been working for 46 years. Ebert explains the term, “leave of presence”:
“It means I am not going away. My intent is to continue to write selected reviews but to leave the rest to a talented team of writers handpicked and greatly admired by me. What’s more, I’ll be able at last to do what I’ve always fantasized about doing: reviewing only the movies I want to review.”
Since Roger Ebert’s death was announced, his blog has crashed from the overwhelming number of visitors, and Twitter has an outpouring of fans showing their sympathy.
R.I.P. Mr. Ebert, you fought a long, hard battle.
