Twitter Sunday: Favorites Tweets @ebertchicago


By Sama Team | March 28, 2010


If you are a movie fan, then you know  the long-running syndicated film-review show 'At the movies'. Even some of us, living in France, we at least heard  the name of the movie review program once, even though we couldn't watch it on television over here (hopefully, we have Youtube!). The show has been cancelled this week so we decided it was time to follow Roger Ebert on Twitter @ebertchicago, a 'Film critic since time immemorial'. About 'At the movies' cancellation:

After 24 seasons with us in national syndication, the highly regarded movie review show 'At the Movies' (formerly known as "Siskel & Ebert" and "Ebert & Roeper") will air its last original broadcast the weekend of August 14, 2010 [...] This was a very difficult decision, especially considering the program's rich history and iconic status within the entertainment industry, but from a business perspective it became clear this weekly, half-hour, broadcast syndication series was no longer sustainable. We gratefully acknowledge the outstanding work of the program's current co-hosts, A.O. Scott and Michael Phillips, and top-notch production staff, and it is with heartfelt appreciation that we extend very special thanks to the two brilliant, visionary and incomparable critics that started it all, Roger Ebert and the late Gene Siskel.

And now, our Favorites Tweets (most recent) @ebertchicago !  

I don't recall even hearing about Robert Rodrieguez's "Shorts," praised here as a film that speaks a language kids speak. http://j.mp/ch7tvW

Dennis Hopper gets his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame. A good man. http://j.mp/c2XLld

Tarantino, born today, made a film that has been undervalued. I talk to Pam Grier about "Jackie Brown." http://j.mp/9GCfGx

The Daily Beast collects the best Siskel & Ebert arguments. I was right about "Cop and a Half." http://j.mp/bTUbU1

There's nothing else. Just us and the cameras and those wonderful people out there in the dark. All right, Mr. De Mille http://j.mp/aza9Jb

I don't wanna hear one more WORD about how awful depressed you are. If this doesn't cheer you up, end it all http://j.mp/b8O2Fu

If Lady Gaga could sing, she'd have it all.

  Roger Ebert tweets a lot, about movies of course, but also about politics and we appreciate reading him, both @ebertchicago and on his blog. We have a lot to learn about movies (last week we tweeted about the many movies references Max Dana makes in her work -Kubla Khan & Harry Lime-) and we think Roger Ebert is a great 'movie source' to learn from. That's why we wanted to share his tweets with you, and pay tribute to 'At the movies'.

I had no idea who was Roger Ebert before I read this post! I am not into movies and I live in Norway so maybe that is why.

Anyway, interesting tweets, thank you for sharing them ;)

Yeah Mark, for once it looks like we agree on that point. I am so over the Lady Gaga marketing stuff…………….. :roll:

As a movie journalist, Roger Ebert is a living legend for any critics. I’m French and like it was said in the post, I enjoy watching “Siskel & Ebert” on Youtube. They were great. Follow this link from Ebert’s tweets to see what I mean http://j.mp/bTUbU1 :P

I don’t get the ‘no longer sustainable’ argument. Nothing will ever replace this show

Sama Reader Arnold

I think I read something about Roger Ebert like 3 or 4 months ago, it was about his cancer. Before that, like everyone in France I guess, I didn’t know who he was.

His tweets are very funny, great sense of humor ;)

Ponditi, At the movies was an ‘old’ show, nothing fresh and new here, that’s the only reason.

I was not aware that “At The Movies” had been canceled……… Heartening news to hear! :(

Hello Wendy :P

About Dennis Hopper getting his star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, it’s a shame he gets it now he’s so sick. What were they waiting for??? :evil:

Sama Reader Meddi

I agree with most of Ebert opinions. I wish we had this kind of critics in France but we don’t. Here it’s only about trailers and promoting movies ‘Oh, this is a great movie!’ even when it’s really bad.

Thanks for this post about Roger Ebert. Like many others here I discover the guy and I’m reading his blog for more than an hour now :)

Meddi, we have Laurent Weil in France, he’s a cool guy

Sama Reader Moshuo

He’s rude with Robert Rodriguez when he says but I like it: I don’t recall even hearing about Robert Rodrieguez’s “Shorts,” praised here as a film that speaks a language kids speak

I will follow him on Twitter. Thanks for the info! :)

PS: Hi Wendy! Nice to see you!

Laurent Weil may be cool but he can’t talk bad of a movie or nobody will ever come back for interviews at Canal+… And you know how much they enjoy to pretend it’s the ‘movie channel’… :roll:

Sama Reader Gino

It is the same here in Italy, critics are not independent and they can’t be or nobody will agree to come to the show. Everybody said Alice was wonderful but in fact it was a disappointment……. I spent my money for nothing, it’s unfair :cry: ;)

Sama Reader Pilar

¡Hola! I loved Jackie Brown!! I am a big fan of Tarantino but I didn’t like Inglorious Basterds at all……. Like for Alice I suppose, everyone in Spain said it was the movie of the year but I disliked it very much :(

I think it’s the same in every country, excepted in the US with Ebert apparently. Lucky you out there! I will read his tweeter and also his site and die less stupid I guess :P

Sama Reader Goeff

Hey, trailers are available all over the Internet and also on television. ‘At the movie’ was not perfect either. Ebert will start a new show, I’m pretty sure of that.

He’s so right about Lady Gaga :roll:
