THAT'S ROGER EBERT.

I want to laugh hysterically and break down at the same time :(
 
they removed a large part of his jaw due to cancer
 
oh snap! That IS Roger Ebert! At first I thought that was a random picture of some guy to make fun of the missing media from the original post, but then I recognized the face. Bummer, bad reviews or not.
 
Can he still speak? or is Roper going to have to find a new co host?
 
What happened was, cancer of the salivary gland spread to my right lower jaw. A segment of the mandible was removed. Two operations to replace the missing segment were unsuccessful, both leading to unanticipated bleeding.

A tracheostomy was necessary so, for the time being, I cannot speak. I make do with written notes and a lot of hand waving and eye-rolling. The doctors now plan an approach that does not involve the risk of unplanned bleeding. If all goes well, my speech will be restored.

Guess so...not that I care too much about his opinions on movies anyway. He ain't pretty though, poor fella :/
