No, that's not your creepy uncle Larry, whose breath always smelt like scotch, and cousin Claude, whose general odor was something akin to raspberry Kool-Aid; no, what that is, is a photo I found on the web awhile back featuring one of the oddest of odd couples from the 1970s, nudie filmmaker Russ Meyer and film critic Roger Ebert.Most folks are probably aware that Ebert wrote the screenplay for one of Mr. Meyer's few forays into major studio territory, Beyond the Valley of the Dolls. But did you also know that he penned the scripts for Up! (as Reinhold Timme) and Beneath the Valley of the Ultra-Vixens (as R. Hyde), two more gloriously gonzoid opuses and odes dedicated to large breasted, well-hipped and long-legged women and the violence that surrounded them? Well, now you do -- and knowing is half the battle. I've always liked and respected Mr. Ebert and his opinions. He's always given genre films a fair shake, and this only makes him even that much more cooler in my
book.

Ebert was and is the most witty boob man ever.
