You remember Roger and Gene? Two thumbs up (or down)? Even Roeper?

    I'd say Roger Ebert is still "doing his own thing" - though he's toned it down a bit when laying into a particular movie. However, sometimes he lets loose every now and then...

    I never had it like this where I grew up. But I send my kids here because the fact is you go to one of the best schools in the country: Rushmore. Now, for some of you it doesn't matter. You were born rich and you're going to stay rich. But here's my advice to the rest of you: Take dead aim on the rich boys. Get them in the crosshairs and take them down. Just remember, they can buy anything but they can't buy backbone. Don't let them forget it. Thank you.Herman Blume - Rushmore

    Yep. Back in the day they really did objective reviews. Wasn't it on PBS back then?

    Then it seems to me Ebert went in for the money and gave every piece of trash "two thumbs up".
