The image of Ebert in a theatre laughing his arse off during Jackass is priceless.

[@brandonbrooks898]

" harry potter and lord of the rings, seems like the franchise thing is the thing now" Boy was that the understatement of his whole career. That's all it is now!

[@barnard8139]

It has changed, but it is more complicated than "That's all it is now." It feels like there is more small budget films, and non-franchise films now then before. Certainly franchises have taken over the theatres, but on streaming services there is a never ending supply of non-franchise films. And some content that would have been a film 10 years ago like Queens Gambit morphs into a limited series.

[@mr.smithgnrsmith7808]

[@sandal_thong8631]

Yeah, there's something totally reversed from 20 years ago, when people now say they don't want to see a DC movie if there's no chance for a sequel. Previously, most sequels sucked and were just an attempt to cash-in on the name.

[@assmane999]

Ebert is one of my favourite writers. He had such a brilliant way of communicating a director’s vision. I loved reading his reviews every week. I especially liked his zero-star reviews because you really learn about what makes a horrible movie. And those were usually the funniest reviews too!

[@GregoryAlanBaileygamereviews]

He loved "Falling Down" from 1993 starring Michael Douglas, he reviewed movies from the perspective of the audience that would watch those movies, not based on whether or not he personally liked the movie.

2002 really was a fantastic year for film. Gangs of New York, Secretary, Adaptation., Punch Drunk Love, even Spielberg who was 2 for 2 in '02 with Minority Report and Catch Me If You Can.

[@tonym994]

" I wanted to tear my teeth out, I didn't know what I wanted to do" Gavin Masterson you're exactly right .he was a real actor. I think he was the best film actor ever .when he spoke that line he meant it. he really was Kurtz. he'd seen too much. Coppola (and my boy Martin Sheen) give you a good back story to prepare you for this guy gone off his rocker. and to think when he showed up they thought the film would be destroyed .he hadn't read 'heart of darkness' as Coppola insisted, and he was fatter than Kurtz would be. yet, when he's on screen, he's brilliant. I would just rationalize it that he got fat sitting out in the jungle eating water buffalo."I used to think that if I died in a bad place my soul would go to Hell. but now? fuuck! I don't care where it goes as long as it ain't here! '

[@matthewgallagher1761]

20 years ago - and a completely different world. Roger noting the theme of "Minority Report" and how "we might lose our privacy." Movies as an American art form, understood by many, and people going to actual theaters to see them as they should be seen. We've lost that. This was before social media completely devoured us. Before people stared into phones. When conversations like this, before Charlie Rose was "cancelled," were a nightly affair that you looked forward to: actual conversation. The fragmentation of our spirits and minds is the story today. And it's deeply troubling.

[@sandal_thong8631]

No. First Charlie Rose had good guests that you wanted to hear what they had to say. But he was ego-centric, trying to prove how clever he was by suggesting answers for his guests. Finally he had multiple allegations of sexual harassment, so he had to go. That crap should have ended after the Anita Hill testimony during the Clarence Thomas hearings in 1991. But since the latter "won" and got a court seat, I guess men in prominent positions figured they could continue to get away with it until the "Me Too" movement of 2017! Twenty six years is another generation.

Charlie Rose was too pretentious and loved to hear himself talk too much to be a really good interviewer. Not surprised what happened to him.

[@Heraclitean]

@@Nicksonian Yet he was revered, beloved, and public figures craved to be on his show. Maybe because he did compelling interviews despite the interrupting, and even the interrupting came out of his enthusiasm and engagement. Not such a mystery.
