Here's another fitting tribute to Roger Ebert, this one from all the way across the Atlantic, where friends, colleagues, and fans gathered outside the American Pavilion at the Cannes Film Festival for a "500 Thumbs Up" Salute to the late film critic. Look carefully and you'll see Chaz Ebert, Columbia University's Annette Insdorf, the Los Angeles Times' Kenneth Turan, the Chicago Tribune's Michael Phillips, and Indiewire's own Eric Kohn, among many others. (Phillips is the toughest and most Waldo-esque to spot, but he's in there).
