It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
That's really sad. Off the top of my head he must be the most famous culture critic in America. When I was young and dumb, I used to not think very much of him because he seemed to overrate things. I felt like it was a big change in my worldview when I realized he appreciated more.

Because books.
He's just one of those faces I've known since childhood. What's sad to me is that I told the others here, and there was zero reaction. But they're all under 24.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I was going to make a glib joke about zombies and questionable marketing schemes, but then I had to back screen and when it refreshed I saw that Roger Ebert had died. How sad! Such a wonderful writer, and a man who faced such tragic circumstances with so much grace and courage.

Indeed. I used to watch At the Movies but I didn't really come to appreciate him until about five years ago.
Only 70, man. Such a shame.

"already on the kiss-cam with Karl Marx"-
He'd been through such a lot lately...but his blog taught me to view him with so much more respect. I'm not sure I believe in the afterlife anymore, but if there is one, I hope he and Siskel can find a screening room and go back to hashing stuff out.
