He maybe the world’s most hated movie critic. Love him or hate him, you can’t deny, that the man is a legend. Roger Ebert, the world’s most famous film critic, announced that his cancer has returned and he’s cutting down on film reviews for that reason. He’s not leaving completely however, he still has other projects going on.

He said he’s keeping his website up, under new ownership.

Read Roger’s sad announcement, here.

If Roger passes away, it’s going to be a sad loss in the movie industry. Love him or hate him, we’ve all looked after him in some way or another. There will be no other movie critic like him. No other movie critic will be able to top what he does. Roger is irreplaceable.

I may not agree with a lot of his movie reviews, and yes, he said a lot of things that pissed me off too. Even when he’s in bad health currently, he has said a lot of controversial things. With all that being said, I’ve always respected the man. He’s one of the most honest guys out there. Not afraid to tell things like it is, he’s kind of like me in a way. He maybe uncomfortable to look at now, but I miss the old Roger pictured above.

The movie industry will never be the same when he goes. Prayers go out to Roger.
