ebert
A film critic who teamed up with Gene Siskel to give movies thumbs up or thumbs down. Siskel died young, and now Ebert is stuck with a guy named Roeper who’s not as good.
Ebert and Siskel gave movies thumbs up or down, but Siskel died before Roeper could learn how to give good reviews.
I asked Ebert why he worked with Roeper, and he said, 'He’s not as good, but he’s not bad either.'
Roeper is like the backup singer of film reviews, and Ebert is the main guy.
