Opposable Thumbs by Matt Singer

I can't overstate just how important Siskel & Ebert were to me growing up. I was a movie fanatic and i don't know how i first discovered S&E, but i know that everytime i found it on the channels, i watched it. It taught me so much about film, and introduced me to so many great, underrated flicks.
But reading this wonderful book, i came to realize just how much of a profound influence they eventually became to my own writing. So much of my voice comes from Ebert. I idolized him and still do.
This book made me cry way more than i thought possible. I couldn't put it down. My only complaints is that I could have easily devoured another 300 or so pages of stories about the show.
Thank you Matt! It turns out, i already follow you on Letterboxd. You're one of my favorite writers on there. What a treat when i realized i was already a fan of your work. This was fantastic and can't wait to see what you do next.
