Roger Ebert, probably the most influential film critic ever, has died<\/a>\u00a0at age 70. His famous thumbs up or down could make or break a film.<\/p>\n

We spoke a few years ago. I had the pleasure of having a conversation with Ebert when he used my cartoon drawn in sympathy for Christopher Hitchens when he was dying of cancer. He posted it in The Chicago Sun Times<\/a>.The cruel and unusual verbal attack Hitchens suffered from Christians on top of his illness was so disgusting to me, I felt the least I could do was draw a cartoon in an attempt to expose the foolishness of those irrational attacks.<\/p>\n

I posted this cartoon twice. If you cant to read them, here<\/a> and here<\/a>. He was also very kind to compliment my Sophia drawing \u201cCaught\u201d<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Ebert was once asked what he would choose if there was one movie that was to play over and over again and one snack to be served in Heaven, he responded \u201c\u2018Citizen Kane\u2019 and vanilla Haagen-Dazs ice cream.\u201d<\/em> I think he\u2019s wrong. If there is such a Heaven, it would be \u201cThin Red Line\u201d<\/em> and nachos fully loaded.<\/p>\n<\/body><\/html>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
