I agonized over the headline for this post for about 10 minutes. I was talking to a student earlier today about headlines and how you have to kind of wow people but still inform them.
These words may not be the best written words to put into a headline, but then again many words can't really describe movie critic Roger Ebert.
Ebert has been in the news lately for the heartbreaking Esquire magazine article/photo and his appearance on Oprah yesterday. Yes, click the links to see what I'm talking about.
He lost his lower jaw and ability to speak because of thyroid cancer, but that hasn't stopped him from writing movie reviews, blogs and even tweets!
For everyone who says technology is bad, think about how it helps people in these situations.
Back to Roger, no matter what you think of his stance on movies (maybe he liked one you hated or vice versa) you could always count on the fact that they were well-written and well researched. The man knows what he is talking about.
He does have a Pulitzer prize after all.
So if you haven't already, click those links. Read the article, watch the photo and I dare you to not feel something.
I double dare you.
