Roger Ebert has said he has no problem being seen as he is, so no reason not to publish this photo.

[...] all that flashy but I think it might be one of the most useful projects Google has ever undertaken. With all the hoopla lately about newspapers being dead in their current form, this flows perfectly to updating the way the world gets its news. Google is said to be starting [...]

ahem ... and you say this after taking a job and publishing your first column at which largely old media print outlet? love ya, dan-o. but they who live in glass houses ... should probably dress in the basement.

No problem with the photo. Ebert looks the way Ebert looks. As a longtime fan going back to the earliest days with Gene Siskel, I have watched him deliver his opinion time and time again. He has that right this time, too. But he is particularly mean-spirited with this one. Just ’cause you have no literal voice, Rog, doesn’t mean you can abuse your print one. Namaste.

I stopped reading him entirely when he said a video game could never rise to the level or “art”. Rectocranially inverted indeed.

When the Internet only had a handful of machines and text-only terminals were absurdly expensive, there’s Licklider on camera saying how newspapers are embarrassing, really, because their information is printed onto paper and then shipped around on trucks.

Thirty six years later, his vision is becoming a reality, as these little regional information fiefdoms morph or melt away.

Clear Channel and Infinity Broadcasting? You’re next.

Disappointed.
All we get here from RDL is denial and ad hominem rudeness.
If you have a point, make it intelligently. You have offered nothing to support your argument. Even your claims about the tone of the letter are not backed up with any specifics.

BTW: I have no problem with the photo. That is how things are now. I don’t think Ebert is shying away, so you don’t need to.

Wow, that’s a real picture? I thought it was a wax figure from Madame Tussauds!

Nasty picture choice. Are you supposed to be meaner than FSJ?
