I missed one heck of a debate yesterday at University of Colorado at Boulder. Apparently Roger Ebert came for the 58th Annual Conference on World Affairs. One of his panels was titled: An Epic Debate: Are Video Games an Art Form?
The funny thing is that for his "debating" partner they had Jim Emerson who is, of course, another film critic. But he's not just a film critc, no even that might offer too much possible contention for Ebert. No Emerson is also the the founding editor-in-chief of RogerEbert.com.
Wow, that must have been one heck of a debate. Ebert and his biggest fan. I'm sure a lot of interesting ideas were discussed, like how AMAZING Ebert is and how he is also so SUPER COOL.
I'm guessing someone like Henry Jenkins might result in much pant wetting on Ebert's part. So at least his clothes were spared that indignity by this sham of a debate.
I'm hoping to find someone who was able to attend the event and please, oh please, can prove me wrong with much interesting details about what improbably turned into an exciting debate
