Den anerkendte filmkritiker Roger Ebert vil som den første i sin profession kunne mænge sig med de store Hollywood-stjerner på Hollywood Walk of Fame, når han 23. juni får en stjerne på den berømte boulevard.

Ebert, der anmelder for avisen Chicago Sun-Times og i tv-programmet “Ebert & Roeper”, siger om æren: Jeg har netop læst at da Saul Bellow modtog Nobelprisen, udtale han: ‘Barnet i mig er henrykt. Den voksne del af mig er skeptisk.’ Jeg har det på samme måde, udover at den voksne del i mig også er henrykt.”

I Eberts hjemby Chicago følger man op på festlighederne, og borgmesteren har udnævnt 12. juli til officiel “Roger Ebert-dag i Chicago”.

Jeg synes, han er ganske talentløs! - Eller vi er i hvertfald uenige 90 % af tiden.

Så lige han har givet Oldboy og Untergang topkarakteren, så han er fredet i klasse A ;)

Så vidt jeg ved, kan manden kun vælge mellem 'thumps up' og 'thumps down', så topkarakter kræver vist ikke det store... :)

Dog er jeg ikke helt sikker, da han jo både har et tv-show samt en avisartikel...

Det er da lidt plat at han kan få en stjerne, bare for at side og udtale sig om andre folks arbejde.

#13 Han giver karaktererne 0-4 stjerner med ½ stjernes intervaller. Du kan se mere her.

#13 - hvis man kigger lidt på hans hjemmeside, ser det ud til at han giver karakterer fra 1-4.

Sorry, men som sagt var jeg heller ikke helt sikker mht. hans rating i Chicago Sun-Times. :)

I cannot believe this!! How the hell does he even constitute being a star? He has NEVER been in a movie and he sure as hell can't act. Who was that dumb to put a CRITIC onto the hollywood walk of fame.

Terrible thing to do... Really dishonest to all the stars who are there...

But hey, that is just my opinion. I don't think there should be anyone else on the Hollywood Walk of Fame other than STARS, Directors or for that sake entertainers. Ebert was non of these things. He was just a damn critic. And besides I can think for my self, I don't need people to tell me what is good and what is bad...

Someone should give Ebert two thumbs 'Way' up his ass!

Han har jo skrevet manuset til "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls" fra 1970... så han er jo en slags manuskriptforfatter.

Han var forøvrigt den første filmkritiker der modtog Pulitzer-prisen...

Really? wow...

Still...

What's next? George Bush I+II (just cause they are on TV?) Larry King, Oprah (who by the way has been in a few films), Dr. Phil?

I mean we have to draw the line for who is considered to be a star. Writers seldom get any credit, like the guy who wrote Indy out of Spielbergs and Lucas' ideas. So I think composers should get a bigger notice and a chance to be on the hollywood walk of fame, since they have contributed to the soul of movies etc. Like Jerry Goldsmith, John Williams or the good old ones like Alfred Newman (yes in the same family as Thomas, David and Randy). It is just not fair, to see critics there...

But yeah, that is just my opinion, he has not contributed to Hollywood like Paul Newman or the countless actors, actresses or directors in the past or present.
