I love this piece on John Wayne that Ebert posted in his blog, today. I am finding I have growing affection for the icon, who, hilariously, describes himself in this interview as a liberal. Definitely some insight to Red Family/Blue Family here. And some interesting commentary on the Western.
Also, Ebert on JCVD, which I saw last night. It's a genre-buster, with a hilarious opening sequence (really, the best part of the movie.) I can't say I recommend the film, which doesn't stand up to the opening sequence, but it's still an interesting experiment. Rating: on an airplane, if there's nothing else to watch. I highly recommend Ebert's review, which is funnier than the movie itself, and I love the list of aphorisms at the end.
