NY Post film critic smacks cancer patient Roger Ebert at TIFF screening of Slumdog Millionaire

You wouldn’t like him when he’s angry. The Chicago Sun-Times reports that Roger Ebert got the smack put to him by NY Post reviewer Lou Lumenick last week—quite literally. The incident occurred at a TIFF screening of Slumdog Millionaire. Lumenick, it is reported, walloped a cancer-suffering Ebert with a binder for tapping him on the shoulder during the film (Ebert couldn’t see the subtitles). Lumenick responded in his Thursday column to tell everyone, quite simply, to get a life. No comment on the movie, though.—Katy P
