Field Museum receives pieces of Russian meteorite Robot hot among surgeons but FDA taking fresh look
CHICAGO Roger Ebert, one of the nation new frontier car rental in las vegas s most influential film critics who used newspapers, television and social media to take readers into theaters and even into his own life, was laid to rest Monday new frontier car rental in las vegas with praise from political leaders, family and people he d never met but who chose movies based on the direction of his thumb.
He didn t just dominate his profession, he defined it, said Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel in a brief eulogy to hundreds of mourners who gathered at Holy Name Cathedral just blocks from where Ebert spent more than 40 years as the film critic for the Chicago Sun-Times. Ebert died last Thursday at the age of 70 after a yearslong battle with cancer.
It was Ebert who told readers new frontier car rental in las vegas which films to see and which ones they should stay away from, Emanuel said, remembering the influence Ebert had on movie goers through his newspaper reviews and the immensely popular TV show he hosted with fellow new frontier car rental in las vegas critic Gene Siskel during which they would issue thumbs-up or thumbs-down assessments.
In a 90-minute funeral Mass, speakers took turns talking about how Ebert spent his career communicating his ideas about movies, social issues, the newspaper business and finally the health problems that left him unable to speak.
That realization, she and other speakers said, helped explain Ebert s fascination with outlets new frontier car rental in las vegas such as Twitter and his blog that he took to just two days before he died to tell readers he was taking a leave of presence.
Roger was 24-7 before anybody thought of that term, said John Barron, Ebert s former boss at the Sun-Times, who said Ebert was among the first to recognize the changing media landscape as well as the first in the office to use a computer new frontier car rental in las vegas or send emails.
That was the message of Jonathan Jackson, who, after relating comments from his father, the Rev. Jesse Jackson, told the crowded church why Ebert s early support for the films of Spike Lee and other black filmmakers was so important.
He respected new frontier car rental in las vegas what we had to say about ourselves, said Jackson, who pointed to Ebert s glowing review of Spike Lee s Do The Right Thing in the late 1980s. It was not his story but he understood the value of an important film was authenticity and not the fact that it depicted your interests.
new frontier car rental in las vegas As when other Chicago icons such as former Cubs great Ron Santo died, fans of Ebert flocked to the church to pay tribute to someone they saw as one of their own: a Chicago guy. Fans said they liked it that Ebert never left the city for Los Angeles or New York, and that he remained a newspaper writer until the end. Some clapped when Barron ended his remarks with a story about how Ebert kept his word to stay at the paper.
