A critic who dismisses the role of an actor’s physical appearance in a performance will date just about anyone.
— Roger Ebert. I’m not about to make the over-obvious point, but I will tease at it: I started watching Sneak Previews religiously in about 1980; I’ve read the man’s books; I’ve seen the unbearable movie he wrote the screenplay for; I’ve seen the drunken outtakes; I’ve admired him since the Reagan era. But, something’s changed in the last few years. He’s playing with real money now. Man’s doing some of his best writing, and he’s fine with pulling out Twitter-perfect Wilde-isms like this. Love this guy. He’s a hero, and a Mensch, and (yay, Roger), he’s just killing it on Twitter. Good on ya, man.
