Whether you liked his opinions or not, at least after reading a review of his, or listening to him review a movie, you knew what he thought about it.
That fact alone is why I chose to write this blog in the first place; because too many times I would read a random movie review (not one of his) and think to myself "Ok, so what the hell did I just read, and I do I want to actually want to watch this movie?" With Ebert (and Siskel, too), I could tell - even if I totally disagreed with his review - whether or not I would want to see said movie, and that, I respected very much. I always attempt to bring that one element to my reviews - should you go see this film.
There are people who are gifted writers, and Ebert's weaving of words was excellent. I will miss his blogs and articles, as well as some of his political commentary.
