“At the Movies“. I gave up on the show when Roper and his rotating cast of guest hosts left; there was no way I was going to watch the pulsating ball of suck that was The Bens. I’d heard that Phillips and Scott were a vast improvement, but I couldn’t bring myself to start watching it again. It didn’t help that the show was usually on in the early early morning here, and was frequently postponed due to sporting events.
I can’t say that I’ll miss it, but Ebert’s been hinting at a new television project: I do look forward to that.
Edited to add: Ebert’s latest blog post does more than hint.
