Fellow Critic Hits Roger Ebert At Festival
Film critic Roger Ebert on Thursday confirmed that a fellow critic yelled at him and whacked him on the knee with a program during a movie screening at the Toronto Film Festival last weekend, but said the incident was “blown out of proportion.” “It has been blown out of proportion. It is of little interest,” Ebert said in a column posted Thursday on the Web site of the Chicago Sun-Times, where he has been a critic since 1967. Ebert, who has battled cancer in recent years and was left unable to speak, did not name the other critic involved in the incident. But he said an account published in the New York Daily News that named the other man as rival New York Post movie critic Lou Lumenick was “truthful.”..Source
