Ebert Does the Robot

Every week I go over to the Chicago Sun-Times site to check on Roger Ebert, and to see what he has to say about the current crop of new films. This week I was eager to check out what he thought about I, Robot. Well, it turns out that he doesn't think that much about it, giving it only two stars. So, I guess my weekend movie plans are dashed. In my hometown it is either I, Robot, something more atrocious, or something I have already seen.
Anyway, at the end of the review was this little afterthought:

"Roger Ebert will speak on making ultra-low-budget movies on the Macintosh in a free talk at 6 p.m. Wednesday at the Apple Store, 679 N. Michigan."

That is so wonderful. Roger Ebert is truly our ambassador of film. You have to love that guy. You don't always have to agree with him, but you can not question his passion for the movies.
