I was sad when I heard that Jack Klugman lost his voice due to cancer surgery.

Jack had such a great voice.

Wow. Oh, and that's at the 4 stars for Episode 1. I generally agree with him on movies, although not always. I also never understood his response to Friday the 13th. I'm sure if I looked at more of his reviews I'd probably find I don't agree with him all that much.

Very cool though for this, and him keeping on.

Man, I remember him back in 2001 or 2002 right before all of the surgeries started. He was running his film festival down in Champaign-Urbana. A friend of mine even got to chat him up at the Steak and Shake. It's great to see that he still has a lot of humor in his writing though. Like a snippet out of his review of "Black Dynamite."

I am happy to say it brings back an element sadly missing in recent movies, gratuitous nudity. Sexy women would "happen" to be topless in the 1970s movies for no better reason than that everyone agreed, including themselves, that their breasts were a genuine pleasure to regard -- the most beautiful naturally occurring shapes in nature, I believe. Now we see breasts only in serious films, for expressing reasons. There's been such a comeback for the strategically positioned bed sheet, you'd think we were back in the 1950s.

Here's the real one for whoever wants to hear it. It actually sounds really good & I'm happy for him. (There are a lot of fakes out there and pretty sick puppies ta' boot)

I have to say that it's almost scary for me to watch him now as I grew up watching Roger & Ebert & his current appearance is just a little shocking at first look. But at least this tech marvel can improve his quality of life.

It's already pretty good and definitely sounds like him and with more tweaking I think this is going to be really awesome for him.

Thats really neat and it does sound like him. Amazing tech and a nice moment there with his wife.

I know his written work is his best stuff but I think we'll see video reviews/film clips with him commenting on stuff via this voice technology on his website soon enough. Good for Roger.
