Dog help me, I agree with Roger Ebert.

Dog help me, I agree with Roger Ebert. [edit to add: it's his domain, but not him. He passed in 2013. Someone's using his name after his death, which squicks me out.]
I have written and published books and stories that made not a damn bit of sense to anyone but me. I consider them vital parts of my work. Most of them get ignored.
"Megalopolis" and "Joker: Folie à Deux"; or, The Virtue of Burning Money | Features | Roger Ebert
How many times in a filmmaker’s life do they get the chance to do something that makes no sense to anyone but them?

@mwl Roger Ebert passed away in 2013.
The author of that article, is Matt Zoller Seitz.
I have no idea why Roger Ebert's personal domain is being exploited after his death. It seems, disrespectful to understate it.
I was intrigued by Megapolis though I didn't think it was a great movie I am grateful it took some risks and it felt less formulaic than a lot of schlock in theaters. Maybe I just like Aubrey Plaza a lot and was grateful to see her on screen more?
I really didn't like Joker: Folie à Deux. There are so many better musicals and BATMAN franchise installments and IMHO, not many worse ones.

@teajaygrey @mwl It's not being exploited. Ebert handed off direct management of the site in 2013, due to the decline in his health. He wanted it to go on as a place that promoted the work of other writers. It's managed by his widow and edited by Matt Zoller Seitz, a respected film critic and someone whose work Ebert featured on the site many times before he died. It's doing what he wanted it to do.
