George R.R. Martin On Roger Ebert

20 hours ago | Huffington Post | See recent Huffington Post news »

George Rr Martin and Roger Ebert might not have crossed professional paths often - Martin is best known for books and television, not the primary subjects of Ebert's commentary - but the Game of Thrones writer seemed to be hit hard by the critic's recent death.

Martin wrote on his blog (called Not A Blog) yesterday:

Roger (somehow I think of him as 'Roger,' not 'Ebert,' though I never met him in the flesh, and spoke to him only once, by telephone, in the early 1970s when both of us were young and dinosaurs roamed the earth) has been my favorite film critic since forever. I did not always agree with him, but I always found him insightful and fun to read. He was not just a terrific critic, he was a terrific Writer.

...

He was One of Us too. A fan, and an Sf fan at that. »
