What's more sad is that it's gonna turn into an ET/Access Hollywood type show.

Once again, networks have no clue.

Knerys · 07-21-2008, 12:52 PM

Links not working.

But either way, damn. It's the end of an era.

Dude, I thought he died when I saw this thread.

sshuttari · 07-21-2008, 02:43 PM

me too, I got a little scared.

Ewok Droppings · 07-21-2008, 03:02 PM

I didn't realize that he hasn't been on the show since his surgery. Or did I read that correctly?

iv3rdawG · 07-21-2008, 03:03 PM

No, he hasn't. It's mostly been Roeper and Phillips, who I actually enjoy(ed) watching.

sshuttari · 07-21-2008, 03:04 PM

Roeper and Phillips are alright. But since Roeper is leaving as well... I don't know what they will do with the show.

therook · 07-21-2008, 03:16 PM

Who do you think should be the next reviewers then.

IanTheCool · 07-21-2008, 06:56 PM

Good for them for not putting up with the corporate BS and sticking by their principles.

Disney Swiftly Replaces Ebert And Roeper
23 July 2008 10:27 AM, PDT

The Walt Disney Co. has wasted no time in finding replacements for Roger Ebert and Richard Roeper as hosts of the syndicated Ebert & Roeper and the Movies. Two days after Roeper quit the show and one day after Ebert did -- he has actually not appeared on it since a 2006 operation left him unable to speak -- Disney said that they will be succeeded by Ben Lyons, currently a film critic for E! Entertainment channel and Ben Mankiewicz, who hosts a movie discussion show on the cable network Tcm (Turner Classic Movies). Disney also said that the show will be revamped, with a new set, graphics and theme and that a new segment will be added in which the two hosts will discuss new movies by satellite with other film critics. A spokeswoman for Disney-ABC Domestic Television, which syndicates the show, denied earlier reports that Ebert & Roeper and the Movies will be converted into an entertainment magazine show along the lines of Entertainment Tonight.

Knerys · 07-23-2008, 02:52 PM

Two Ben's....they do that on purpose?

I don't mind Mankiewicz. I don't know that other one. He looks.....trendy.

IanTheCool · 07-23-2008, 04:02 PM

Why didn't they just make a separate show? The old one still worked. Don't fix it if it ain't broke.

The Walrus · 07-23-2008, 04:04 PM

To be honest, I never liked Roeper. He seems to like everything. Ebert likes crappy movies sometimes, but he can at least plausibly back it up with something more than "I just loved every minute of this film."

CitizenSteel · 08-08-2008, 03:11 PM

thats not true, Roeper calls it as he sees it.

Knerys · 08-08-2008, 03:21 PM

Roeper is pickier than most critics. I have grown to appreciate his opinion I guess you can say....

sshuttari · 08-08-2008, 03:23 PM

He didn't like Fellowship of the Ring and Pirates of the Carribean: Curse of the Black Pearl.

he sucks

Knerys · 08-08-2008, 03:25 PM

Maybe he just doesn't get into fantasy and pirate adventures.

He said he doesn't like being left off. Not sure about the COTBP one, but he did come back with the Two Towers saying he now liked the first after seeing the second.

Yeah, Roeper is alright, I have come to respect his reviews more over the years.
