Crashing in: Ebert at Northwestern
The Daily Northwestern's Lauren Levy transcribes as Roger Ebert talks the cricket walk before a screening of Crash: 
"Modern movie audiences are becoming increasingly apathetic in the way they view films... Ebert told a crowd of 179 people at Block Museum Wednesday night. “When I started in the ’60s, people would stand in the rain in November to see a film... Today’s movie-goers are much less curious, adventurous and informed... I have a background as an English student... I never took a film course in my life... Crash took us to the next level of racism in this country... The movie showed all kinds of people dealing with prejudices, not even knowing who they’re dealing with.”
