Vicki and I stopped watching At The Movies (the old Siskel & Ebert show, for the old-timers in the blogosphere) as soon as ABC fired Richard Roeper (and Roger Ebert, in absentia, I guess), hired a couple of morons (Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz) to host the show and changed the format completely. Every preview/review of the new approach sounded dreadful and so we didn't even bother checking it out, but rather just deleted it from our recurring recordings list.
Ain't It Cool News, however, tells us tonight that the "two Bens" have been tossed by ABC and Michael Phillips and A. O. Scott are replacing them, come September 5th. We may actually start watching it again next month, given that positive turn of events. It's been a long year of being out of touch with what's coming out at the theatre and on DVD, I'll tell you!
