Will it ever be the same? Probably.

At the Movies with Ebert and Roeper will be handing over its reigns to new blood come next year. Despite the fact that Ebert hasn’t been part of the show for some time now, it is still a bit of nostalgic blow to movie enthusiasts. I have to admit that since Roeper has been discussing the movies with a myriad of special guests, it is hard to get a consistent handle of who you should believe. But I still enjoy his “I’m better than you” banter he has with his guests each week. Unfortunately their replacement, Lyons and Mankiewicz, doesn’t have the same ring to it. Mankiewicz, really? It doesn’t exactly roll off the tongue.

The worst part is that I never realized they were hiring. I would have totally submitted my resume. Oh well.
