Roger Ebert wasn’t there to promote Three Amigos. He was there to be a film critic. He was asked a question and he gave his honest answer. That’s his job.

Roger Ebert did not like THREE AMIGOS, but he said it on the show where Chevy Chase was plugging the film.
Was that ballsy and strong, or totally inappropriate?
