I'm going to miss this man. As a recent passionate film lover I arrived very late to the party of the life that was Roger Ebert. I have read almost every review from him I have found on whatever movie I was looking up at the time. I didn't agree with him every time but I actually cared and was intensively curious as to what he thought about a movie I liked, a movie I hated, or a movie I had interest in seeing. The man was the definition of doing what you love. I'll miss him.

I just hope he got to sit down and watch a classic favorite of his before he died. I would hate it if the last film he saw was "The Admission" or the new "G.I. Joe" movie.
