what a shame.

stupid Disney!!
always ruining everything

I'm gonna miss those guys.

i know. it's just so sad.

Damn shame. I loved that show and the occasional arguments that would break out.

Disney announced that E! critic Ben Lyons and TCM host Ben Mankiewicz have signed on to co-host the new show.

i kinda like both of em, actually.

I've seen the TCM guy, and he's all right; the E! guy is new to me, but if he's anywhere near as good as his dad, Jeffrey, this new show might be worth a look.

he's on the D10 (on E! at 6:30 Central) all the time, if you wanna check him out. he's usually on on Thursdays & Mondays the most, on account of the weekend box office stuff.

I'll have to check that out.

(Speaking of E!, I've been getting into The Soup, too. )

i love that show! now is a good time to start watching, cuz they're also been showing a bunch of "The Soup Presents" shows, which are basically just clip shows of past shows that have been on in the last several months.

I caught one of them, too -- "Stuff Your Mom Won't Let You Watch," or something like that.

yeah, that one was pretty funny.

Yeah, I've been watching that show all my life. I still always watched it even after it no longer had Siskel or Ebert. I loved how they just talked about movies with no gimmicks or interviews. It was also a show that I got to watch on dull weekends before we had our satellite. I still like to go to Ebert's website because he is a very good writer. Hopefully he'll still stay in the movie review business for years.

I still think Siskel misunderstood My Neighbor Totoro, but nobody's perfect.

when he died, it broke my heart.

(i never saw that movie yer talkin about, so i can't talk about it)

i hope they don't F it up too much with the new guys.
