Well, I mean for instance, his point about computers being basically a noise machine rather than an information machine. Plus his point about the reduction of human contact, since we're all so busy talking to people we'll never know on a face-to-face basis. Christ, we've gotten to the point that people who are together don't even speak to each other because they're too busy texting other people.

81. Thank goodness I never got that tattoo...

There's no such thing as a valve trombone. That's a bass trumpet...

Seems like a pretty accurate description of the internet today, in many ways. It reminds me of the people who told us how neat it would be to have a computerized house, controlled by a single panel that we could use to control every aspect of our house. This for a culture that will spend thirty minutes searching for the TV remote instead of walking over to the TV to change the channel...

I agree, but for most of his career he's gotten nothing but crap from so-called "true movie fans" who resent him for his TV exposure.

Feh. Blakey could have done it with two hands in one take...

I'm not sure "tap" is the right word for a call involving those two...

I think Ebert has taken a lot of undeserved flak through his career, solely because he happened to be on a television show. If you really want to get the feel for his love of movies, I highly recommend the audio commentary on the Citizen Kane video.

Much as I love "goofy stuff", "name three" is the one that sucks up my time.

C.J. Cherryh: Serpent's Reach I'm not sure how I missed her works before, but she writes excellent SF.

First thing I thought was "I've read this book"...

This is just a wild guess, but perhaps said list was compiled not by a human, but by some machine able to keep track of such statistics...

I thought it was funny as hell (now I know why old people laughed at me when I was a teenager), but even five minutes of it would make a pretty tedious joke...

I guess my main concern is "scholarship or crackpot rant"; sounds like it falls into the scholarship camp. I'll definitely have to check it out.
