No thumbs up Roger Ebert's review of "Expelled..."
He seemed to know a lot about movies. He did a review on Expellled. I loved it.
I was in the process of tracking this down.
I posted Roger's review at the "EXPELLED: No Intelligence Allowed - Science Under Attack" topic (here).
There I had quoted him:
quote:This film is cheerfully ignorant, manipulative, slanted, cherry-picks quotations, draws unwarranted conclusions, makes outrageous juxtapositions (Soviet marching troops representing opponents of ID), pussy-foots around religion (not a single identified believer among the ID people), segues between quotes that are not about the same thing, tells bald-faced lies, and makes a completely baseless association between freedom of speech and freedom to teach religion in a university class that is not about religion.

Perhaps best known for his association with saxophonist Ornette Coleman. He also led his own group (Decoding Society) that at one point included guitarist Vernon Reid (pre Living Colour).

quote:Beloved actor and comedian Robin Williams was found dead in his home in Tiburon, Calif. on Monday. He was 63.
...
Robin Williams passed away this morning. He has been battling severe depression of late. This is a tragic and sudden loss, Mara Buxbaum, the actor’s publicist, said in a statement emailed to BNO News. The family respectfully asks for their privacy as they grieve during this very difficult time.
Williams had long struggled with mental illness: PBS noted that Williams "use[d] the manic and depressive cycles of his bipolar disorder to produce comedic genius on and off screen."

Edited by Minnemooseus, : Added 1st paragraph to quote.
Have been sitting on that one because I discovered it late, but now seems to be a good time.
As I recall from the above cited (read it quite a while back), Don Pardo was doing his thing at Saturday Night Live right up close to the time of his death (although sometimes it was prerecorded elsewhere).
You can try to find the Youtube clip of him narrating with Frank Zappa doing "The Slime", back in about 1976. The version I had bookmarked is no longer available, although I did do an audio capture to save. That may have been the earliest SNL I saw (it, IIRC, started in 1975).

A great OC summary statement, stolen from someone else:
quote:There's talented, there's influential, there's great...and then there are those at the top of Mt. Olympus whose cultural thunderbolts sent down from on high just change everything. And so it was with Ornette Coleman, who just died at age 85.
Someone who is on the relatively short list of most important jazz artists ever.
The still living old jazz titans that I recall: Sonny Rollins and Cecil Taylor. BTW, I read somewhere that Ornette Coleman and Cecil Taylor once attended a Grateful Dead concert together. If that's true, too bad that they didn't sit in with the band.
quote:Regarded as the most important recording engineer of jazz by some observers,[1] Van Gelder recorded several thousand jazz sessions, including many recognized as classics, in a career which spanned more than half a century.
