I know he's in poor health, but seriously, he needs a better editor or something.<!--QuoteEnd--><!--QuoteEEnd-->
Ebert used to hate a lot more movies than he does now, too. Maybe he's mellowed a little in his old age.

Not sure if you've ever seen it, but if you get the chance one day, check out Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, which Ebert co-wrote with smut peddler Russ Meyer back in the late 60s. It changed my opinion of Ebert forever, and actually helps put some of his more bizarre reviews into perspective.
