frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted February 25, 2010 Share Posted February 25, 2010 With the aid of a text-to-speech computer program and his own make-shift sign language, Roger will sit down with Oprah Winfrey next week for what is sure to be an amazing interviewBut, yeah, I would imagine it'll be a closed taping, no audience, maybe in Ebert's home.

Iphonenkinder 558 Posted March 5, 2010 Share Posted March 5, 2010 Another good articlehttp://m.deadspin.com/site?sid=deadspinip&...refId%3D5482198I watched the Oprah interview. It showed some of the voice technology the Esquire article mentioned. The beginning of each Ebert voiced sentence sounded good, sounded like Ebert, but by the end of the sentence it sounded like a computer. Link to post Share on other sites

frautotenkinder 1,025 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 Video games can never be artby Roger EbertThoughts?I've never been that interested in defining art. It's art, all of life can be argued to be art. Some of it is better than others. (This is where the real squeamishness lies, labelling art as bad, or inconsequential.)I think the point where Ebert loses me is his literal idea of "video game". It's pedantic, yes, but little of what I love about video games are the gaming portion. I don't play online. [And how does Ebert keep this going in his mind? Does he refrain from saying things like "Woody Allen's new film... Woody Allen doesn't use film.]Some of what I enjoy goes to the sandbox element--killing all of the Flying Rats in Liberty City, for example. But if I didn't respect (tm Lil Jacob) the relationship of Niko and Roman, then I wouldn't keep playing. The technical side is compelling for me, too, but not enough to make me play a game I find boring. I thought Oblivion looked gorgeous, but I wanted more art direction (like Shadows of the Colossus). Parts of Dragon Age are fun, but I find it's glitchy nature and difficult to read menu system a dealbreaker. Shale's my favorite DLC in recent memory, but I'll never finish Dragon Age: Origins because of all the glitches and breaks. When I play it, and see how the QA procedures broke down, I feel like my intelligence is being insulted--just like when I see an aggressively mediocre movie.This is my least favorite argument of Ebert's. He's usually pretty persuasive, and I like to hear his point of view. Regarding this, though, I feel like he's saying he can judge what makes something art. And that's straight douche bag material.

timwakefield 68 Posted April 20, 2010 Share Posted April 20, 2010 They seem to be having fun in that one. Not so much in this one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OkwVz_jK3gA...feature=relatedNote: your same clip is featured part-way through, but then there's another bizarre bit after.

BigDMcGee 3,352 Posted May 7, 2010 Share Posted May 7, 2010 http://blogs.suntimes.com/ebert/2010/05/pu...e_on_thing.html "In a 24-hour operation, a team of 30 surgeons at the Vall d'Hebron University Hospital in Barcelona, Spain, led by surgeon Joan Pere Barret, started by removing what remained of the man's face - skin, veins and arteries - leaving just his eyeballs and tongue."The team then replaced this with practically the entire face of a dead donor, including all the skin, muscles and nerves, the entire nose, the lips, palate, all the teeth, the cheekbones and the entire lower jaw. These were grafted by microsurgery to what remained of the patient's own face, and the blood supply reconnected. In the final part of the operation, the surgeons transplanted bones and connecting nerves to the patient's own face Ebert did give Face/off three stars, after all.. Link to post Share on other sites

Iphonenkinder 558 Posted January 24, 2011 Share Posted January 24, 2011 Did anyone else watch the new program?I think it's alright, I didn't love either of the two main critics, but I'm hoping they find their groove. The program will also have a commentator dedicated to classic film, one guy focusing on social issues, and another doing something I can't remember.The best part of the program was Ebert's review of an animated movie about a man and his dog. He liked the movie, the clip looked good, and WARNER HERZOG narrated Ebet's review! Sweet lord, do I love that guy's voice! Link to post Share on other sites
