Whether you agree with either critic's opinion about a particular picture, one thing that always came across was the love and enjoyment each felt about the movies. It was a pleasure to watch them both. Roger in recent years was quite opinionated on a variety of topics on twitter, and on his website. He was certainly not shy about expressing his political opinions either, anyone who follows him on twitter certainly knows this to be true. I will miss his writing, but his words and his review work on video will live on. Condolences to his wife Chazz, RIP hopefully Gene and Roger are at a screening together once again.

Always looked forward to their reviews, not just what they said but how they said it...They could kill a movie or send it to the top...on ABC news tonite they did a piece on him..showed him talking recently with his computer voice and his last tweet just before he died...RIP Roger and Gene...
