Hey everybody, my name is Doug and I love movies. This is a Doug loves movies shorty coming

to you from a hotel room in San Diego, California, where I did a stand-up show yesterday at the

American comedy company and I'll play the rowdy and noisy audio of Graham L. Wood playing

a Leonard Walton game against audience members from the end of that show at the end of this

mini. Since last I spoke, and you listened, we lost a great man. Roger Ebert died at 70

after a long battle with cancer. He was seeing movies and writing about them all the way up

Brian DePalma's wise guys, two enthusiastic thumbs up. And I'll never forget that because

that was a truly horrid movie. Even as a young and I was just like, what? Why do these guys

like this movie so much? But maybe I should watch it again, you know, for Roger and for Gene.

eulogize him, I would say that I will miss his reviews and his tweets and his film festival,

which I am happy to say I attended for the first time last year. Got it in under the wire,

it was great to see him in person and all the great movies that he picked for us to watch.

So enjoy your balcony seats in the sky, Roger. On a happier note, I saw a couple of Broadway shows

while I was in New York. They were both in previews, but since I assume they'll be just as great

when they open, I highly recommend Pippin and Matilda. Of course, if I recommend anything, it's highly.

Hope Davis, the great hope Davis was on the plane flying back from New York City,

amazing in American splendor as Harvey Peacars wife. If that plane had gone down, I definitely would have
