Ebert and Roper - why I dont watch this sh*t any more

[TheCatt]

Today they reviewed Be Cool, the sequel to Get Shorty.

Both of these movies are based on books by Elmore Leonard. In the middle of their review, Ebert mentions how he hates self-referential movie lines, such as how the main character talks about how he "doesn't like sequels." This line is in the book, spoken by one of the main characters. Ebert continues on the diatribe, and then Roper speaks. I expected Roper to reference how the line was part of the book, etc, etc. No, he just talked about how he liked the line, blah blah blah.

People don't read enough any more.
