Don't get me wrong, I've agreed with some of Mr. Ebert's reviews 100%. But I think the REAL reason behind his facial disfigurement wasn't cancer; he simply went to his surgeon and said, "Could you give my mouth that cool, retro, 1950's urinal look, please?" I'm certainly sorry he passed away because he was an entertaining reviewer and I think he had a MAGNIFICENT career ahead of him as a human Pez dispenser.....when I looked at him in his later years I felt like nagging, "Come on, Mr. Ebert, it's not THAT funny!"
