Ebert, despite his sometimes horrible taste in movies (I believe I can't ever forgive him for giving a thumbs-up to "Lara Croft, Tomb Raider: Cradle of Life"), is the best movie critic working today...well, at least my favorite. We disagree a bit more often than you do, it seems, but he genuinely cares for the medium of film and knows what it can do, inside and out. More importantly, he understands what it's for, and he does his best to illustrate that in 500 words or less, which is more than I can say for a lot of other reviewers I've been subjected to. :)
By the way, "Tank Girl" holds a special place in my heart precisely for the Cole Porter scene. Lori Petty was about as perfect a PG-rated Tank Girl as you could have hoped for, and I've been in love with Naomi Watts ever since. :) It's really a shame that they bungled the Rippers as messily as they did, though.
"Joe vs. The Volcano" is also now on my Netflix queue.
