Roger Ebert, We'll See You At the Movies

Our society's culture critics have often tended to be a little, for lack of a better word, hoity-toity. Cooler than thou, if you will. They wax eloquent about that dense philosophical metaphysical book you couldn't get through once (but they just finished for an "enlightening" third time). They rave about that indie band you've never even heard of, and sing the praises of that art house film that put you to sleep.
