That's the best comeback/insult ever. Though I hate to use the term- if I were to ever need to describe the slang term "owned" to a person who did not understand it's use or meaning, I would simply quote Roger Ebert's comeback, from above, and all would be crystal-clear.
I used to love Schneider on SNL. He's a bit of a goofy guy, makes goofy movies, and that's what he does. Doesn't mean they're any good- just goofy. There's an audience for it, and they must at least break even if they continue to give him movie deals. Hollywood executives talk only in terms of money, and they're not stupid. If there wasn't a good reason to spend money on this project, they wouldn't have. It's not like anyone is under the impression Schneider will get an Oscar for it. It's stupid, mindless entertainment- and as such, will always have a following that supports more of the same.
