Why I like Ebert

Ebert is the kind of writer who finds a way to say what he wants to say, regardless of what his editors might consider too risque. Take a look at this paragraph from his review of the Adam Sandler movie "Spanglish":

"There's also ironic dialogue in a sequence involving the Times review of John's restaurant, which to John is a catastrophe. Restaurants are ruined by four-star reviews, he explains: A line of @$$#o!>s immediately forms out in front."
