Ebert’s been coming to it for nearly thirty years, along with the rest of Chicago’s increasingly venerable collection of movie critics. The critics might watch three or four movies in a single day, and they have rules and rituals along with their lunches to make it through. “Too close for me,” Ebert writes in his small spiral notebook.

Google is reportedly in advanced negotiations with major Hollywood movie studios to launch a streaming, pay-per-view movie rental site by the end of 2010. The site would be either part of or connected to YouTube, and Google would use its massive search and video empires to direct new users to the new service, helping it stand toe-to-toe with Apple and other competitors in the space.According to anonymous sources cited by The Financial Times, including an executive with knowledge of the deal, talks have been taking place for months, but they've picked up recently.
The big reveal here is not the fact that Google wants to launch such a service — we've known that for a long time — but the reports that studios are increasingly enthusiastic, so much so that the service is expected to go live by year's end.

Grave of the Fireflies received critical acclaim from film critics.
Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun-Times considered it to be one of the best and most powerful war films and, in 2000, included it on his "Great Movies" list.[3] Two live-action remakes of Grave of the Fireflies were made, one in 2005 and one in 2008. Plot[edit] The flashback begins with a fleet of several hundred American B-29 Superfortress bombers flying overhead. Setsuko and Seita are left to secure the house and their belongings, allowing their mother, who suffers from a heart condition, to reach a bomb shelter.
They are caught off-guard as the bombers begin to drop thousands of incendiary bombs, which start huge fires that quickly destroy their neighborhood and most of the city. Seita and Setsuko finally decide to leave and move into an abandoned bomb shelter. In the film's final sequence, the spirits of Seita and Setsuko are seen healthy, well-dressed and happy as they sit together, surrounded by fireflies.
