Ebert Says Thumbs Okay
Film critic Roger Ebert he never told producers they couldn't use his trademark Thumbs up/down on the movie show. "They made a first offer on Friday which I considered offensively low. I responded with a counteroffer. They did not reply to this, and on Monday ordered the Thumbs removed from the show. This is not something I expected after an association of over 22 years."
