- Roger Ebert is stepping out to his 9th annual Overlooked Film Fest:  "I'll be there, but friends and colleagues will take over the onstage Q&A duties. I'll watch from the audience. I think of the festival as the first step on my return to action. Because I will be under scrutiny there, I'll tell you what to expect: a sick guy, getting better, who still loves the movies and the festival.... I plan to gradually increase my duties in the months to come. I still love writing about the movies. Forty years is not enough." Hooray for him!
