Roger Ebert Has Passed Away
Legendary film critic Roger Ebert died today, days after taking a “leave of presence” from his job at the Chicago Sun-Times. More info as it comes in.
*Update: The Sun-Times just posted its obit of Ebert. No real mention of the details of his death, other than that he was 70 years-old and that his passing came after a long battle with cancer.
Ebert reviewed films for the Sun-Times for 46 years. After losing parts of his jaw to cancer in 2006, losing his ability to eat or speak in the process, he somehow managed to become even more relevant by embracing social media.
