I will miss him. I grew up in a suburb of Chicago, and we got the Suntimes everyday. I read his movie reviews constantly. And I used to watch him on Sneak Previews, which was a PBS show in Chicago starting 1975, with Siskel and Ebert.
In 1982 they left Sneak Previews/PBS and to create At the Movies, which went nationwide.
Ebert was kinder to horror movies and artful elements, than Siskel was, in general. I agreed and disagreed with both (what a surprise!). But like Siskel, and everybody, Ebert had things he didn't like that tarnished a movie's rating. Like for instance, Ebert gave 'Terminator' Zero stars (out of 5). After I saw it, I was like 'what?'. He also gave Matrix a poor review, cause the subject matter bothered him. But I loved Ebert, will miss him like a lifelong friend.
