In an appearance today at Ebertfest following the screening of Beyond the Valley of the Dolls, Roger Ebert spoke to the audience with the help of a computer program, which was donated for his use today by the University of Illinois and College of Communications Dean Ron Yates. Ebert spoke about the film he co-wrote with Russ Meyer, which was shown today as the conclusion to Ebertfest. Ebert admitted that he and co-writer Russ Meyer couldn’t keep a straight face through the writing of the film and said to sum up his emotions a line from BVD, “It’s my happening and it freaks me out!” which evoked laughter from the audience.
