Roger Ebert died today. Ebert was arguably the greatest film critic ever to live. Why you may ask are we honoring a film critic? He wasn't a director, he wasn't a producer of film, he didn't act, he did not create the thing we so dearly love, he did not make film. The reason we mourn him, the reason we honor him, is because he is us. To call him the greatest film critic to ever have lived is a bit of an injustice, more so than that, he is the greatest fan of film to have ever lived. So today we honor not just an icon, but a fallen comrade. Goodbye Mr. Ebert, may you spend forever in the theater of our hearts.
As a memorial to Roger Ebert, we have decided to Freeleech his entire Great Movies Collection, and it will remain freeleech throughout the weekend.
