Roger Ebert being a jag-bag.

"He has exercised his right to withhold the use of the "thumbs" until a new contract is signed."

might as well take the show off the air till he gets back.

Disney should tell him to take his thumb and shove it up his ass

The Original Bamfer · 08-25-2007, 01:03 AM

He's dying? And what's a "jag-bag?"

Ghostvirus · 08-25-2007, 01:11 AM

I don't know, but Jag isn't going to like that term very much.

I know! Who the **** wants to watch Richard Roeper. For about 13 or 14 years I watched Siskel & Ebert/Ebert & Roeper every weekend. But this past year I have barely watched the show. I only watch when its an interesting guest critic like Kevin Smith a few months back.

They gave X-Men: The Last Stand two thumbs up. Croak it, Ebert.

Green Goblin 1964 · 08-25-2007, 01:21 AM

That's what he gets for not liking the original Die HARD!

And i agree with Spidey-Bat

Agreed!

you all will burn in hell lol

Ghostvirus · 08-26-2007, 02:16 PM

Well they showed the first show without the thumbs yesterday. To be honest didn't really miss it. I hope they fire Ebert, & replace him. That would be awesome!

it's an entertaining film, in spite of the crappy plot developments.

I thought Kevin Smith was pretty good. I do agree though a lot of the guest hosts come off as pretentious.

But Roeper is young. He is going to have to face the fact that Ebert will die eventually, & he will have to replace him. Why not now?

From UrbanDictionary.com
Jag Bag
1. a statement which describes the unfortunate, the sorry, or the lowly, but not as to demean the person. the term "jag bag" is generally used as a term of endearment - a way to let them know they are down, but not out.

2. someone who is doing something unintelligent.

3. by adding -ing can also be used as a verb. "he's jag bagging around." meaning the person is wasting too much time doing something stupid.

Even if no more thumps up or down,people will still see the movies..if they want to.

Ditto...

Of course it had many things that bugged me but overall it wasn't as bad as some people like to make it out to be.

Ghostvirus · 08-27-2007, 01:49 AM

Ebert Didn't Order The Code Red!

Jerry! · 08-27-2007, 02:26 AM

So.. he said he felt the first was offer was too low and then demanded that the "thumbs" be removed. I see no difference.

I forgot you were young and never saw Gene Siskel is action. You poor kid.

Penismightier · 08-27-2007, 02:02 PM

Roeper acts like he's sucking up to Ebert. The entertaining thing about Siskel was the arguing they would get into.

Roeper sucks cause he's not a real movie critic. He's a columnist. He is a columnist preteneding to be a critic, so he can be on TV every week.
