I miss Roger Ebert …

Ginger or Mary Ann? Laurel or Hardy?

When it came to movie critics, I always chose the late Gene Siskel over Roger Ebert.

But I was missing Ebert yesterday while watching “Ebert & Roeper,” the long-running critic’s show that goes on without Ebert’s presence. He’s still recovering from a series of medical conditions which have temporarily taken his voice away.

His replacement (for now), the Chicago Tribune’s Michael Phillips, let loose with this stunner while describing “Roman Polanski: Wanted and Desired,” a new doc directed by female documentarian Marina Zenovich.

“Coud any man make a film this nuanced? I doubt it,” Phillips said.

Just imagine the outcry had he reversed the sexes in that dopey statement.
