I was very sad to hear the news that Roger Ebert has died. A wonderful film critic and human being, here is a very informative obituary:

I would also like to add this quote which I think is something we should all try to live by:
“'Kindness' covers all of my political beliefs,” he wrote, at the end of his memoirs. “No need to spell them out. I believe that if, at the end, according to our abilities, we have done something to make others a little happier, and something to make ourselves a little happier, that is about the best we can do. To make others less happy is a crime. To make ourselves unhappy is where all crime starts. We must try to contribute joy to the world. That is true no matter what our problems, our health, our circumstances. We must try. I didn't always know this and am happy I lived long enough to find it out.”
Goodbye Roger and thank you for many, many years of wonderful opinion, laughter, and divisiveness
you will be sorely missed.
