Wow. Gotta give this man alot of credit. With half his face gone from the ravages of cancer, he's about to appear on the relaunch of At The Movies with a cosmetic prosthesis.

More power to him. Coming back from cancer is nothing to sneeze at.

He's a great movie reviewer. I never had any use for his old show after he left.

It looks good.

Nothing like the old Siskel and Ebert "At the Movies". It was a shame seeing Siskel's health deteriorate and then see this happen to Ebert.

I'm glad he recovered from that. I heard this face was made of plastic tho?

I'm surprised how good it looks. I'd have to see it in action to get an idea of how it really looks, but that one picture is much better than what I was expecting.

He looks good, considering his ordeal. It's still jarring for me to see how he looks now because his review website and blog (both I visit daily) still use photos of him pre-cancer. That and I see his old face whenever I crack open any of the few books of his I own.

i dont read and believe any movie reviews other than his opinion, so let's do this!!!

I stopped watch it after they were both gone too

Bless him. He is a trooper. I'll watch.

CelticPredator · Jan 21, 2011

Good for him. Looks pretty good.

Maybe his reviews will seem less bitter now.

Ebert wrote in a Wednesday evening post entitled "Leading with my chin."

and still with a sense of humor.........awesome........... :lecture

Tough bastard! Gotta respect his fight for life :rock

Also interesting that he now has a voice synthesizer that approximates what his voice sounded like.

galactiboy · Jan 21, 2011

Wow, that is amazing. And I agree with King... he's one tough SOB :rock

Pretty neat stuff.

I may not agree with Ebert on alot of his critiques on many movies, but I gotta respect the guy.
