Roger Ebert dies and Hollywood mourns: Celebrity reactions to the great critic's passing

4 April 2013 2:45 PM, PDT | Pop2it | See recent Pop2it news »

Movie lovers nationwide were saddened Thursday (April 4) when news broke that legendary critic Roger Ebert had passed away at the age of 70 -- just a day after announcing he was scaling back on work because his cancer had returned.

A few highlights for Ebert fans include a round-up of Ebert's best tweets, the movies Ebert most disliked, some outtakes of him and fellow critic Gene Siskel from the 1980s and a first-person account of interacting with Ebert as an aspiring writer.

There was also a twitpic posted by NPR's Melissa Block of Ebert's license plate, which film buffs will instantly love and get a chuckle about (below).

President Obama released a statement:

Michelle and I are saddened to hear about the passing of Roger Ebert. For a generation of Americans - and especially Chicagoans - Roger was the movies. When he didn't like a film, he was honest; when he did, »

Today's Pet Peeve: Why Doesn't Oscar Allow Embeddable Videos?

16 March 2013 9:00 AM, PDT | FilmExperience | See recent FilmExperience news »

The title is all wrong. It's Everyday's Pet Peeve. I was as thrilled as any Oscar Fanatic when they established a YouTube channel and began to upload plentiful old acceptance speeches from ceremonies past. But why, pray tell, are they non-embeddable? I legitimately wonder what purpose this serves when what's shared on social networks is so determinative of what gets seen, discussed and becomes beloved.

Of course the dread "embedding disabled by request" message is most tiresome and even downright evil when a YouTube channel that uses it is just a fan channel which owns the rights to nothing but still insists that you can't steal what they stole. (This is especially icky when it's exactly the clip you need and want to share.)  I won't name account names but my guess is this refusal to share is an older generation problem dating back to mindsets that existed before the »

Girls With The Power! Eleven Alternatives To "Carrie"

22 January 2013 8:32 AM, PST | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

When the current theatrical reboot (a sequel and toothless TV remake had already come and gone) of Carrie was announced, there was a lot of teeth gnashing and cries of "leave the classics alone!," mostly by me. But as details began to leak out, the prospect became more intriguing. Gay director Kimberly Pierce gave us the masterpiece Boys Don't Cry, and the fabulous Julianne Moore signed up to play Carrie's psychotic fanatical mother. Chloe Moretz doesn't look anything like Stephen King's Carrie, but then neither did Sissy Spacek, so I'm willing to give her the benefit of the doubt.

Carrie was supposed to open in March, but the studio has pushed it back to October, which means they're either hoping for Halloween dollars ... or it's a sign of a troubled production.

But while we wait to rain judgment down on the new version of our favorite telekinetic teen, let's take »
