It's not that I'm imitating Wong Kar Wai or Takashi Miike, but I REALLY like to wear my sunglasses. I only chose not to wear it when I can't wear it, like during classes, or when the sky's too dark, or when I need women to see my soulful eyes... but that's it.

After almost picking a fight with a fellow film critic Lou Lumenick , near-paraplegic Roger Ebert is begining to act more and more irrationally.
