If it's crap... We'll tell you
What do you think of the new hosts of At The Movies?
Ebert and Roeper are gone from At the Movies, and in their place we have Ben Lyons and Ben Mankiewicz. Personally, I hate their guts already. I don't mean to be a hater, but these guys are two of the most pretentious snobs I've ever seen. I do so miss Siskel & Ebert. But don't mind me, what do you guys think?

I fucking hate those douchebags. The one with the goatee recommended Beverly Hills Chihuahua. And the other retard said hated Soul Men because it had bad language. Why did they have to pick these people? They could of chose the guest reviewers who came on the show like, Michael Phillips and A.O Scott.
I come to Spill because its REAL people reviewing movies not snobby critics.

I don't mind Mankiewicz too much, but I had already gotten used to him being a guest host on TCM. However, prior to his rather abrupt appearance on At The Movies I had never even heard of Lyons. And, so far he hasn't impressed at all. In fact, I find him to be extremely grating. (Also known as, annoying as fuck.)
Honestly though, since Roger's unfortunate departure from the show I hadn't really watched it all that much anyway.

I loved the rapport between Gene and Roger. I haven't heard mention of Gene Siskel for so long, I thought I was his last living fan!
Strange, it hasn't even been a decade.
By the way, nice Siskel and Ebert picture on your page!

When you consider how many movies any major critic has to watch, a 1/100 ratio really isn't that bad.
Especially when the critic is an academic who picks apart every scene in a movie and then goes over it with a fine-tooth comb, which Siskel often did.
His pretentious over-analysis is still far better than the microwavable soundbite bullshit that Lyons, Mankiewicz, and just about every other big critic spew up every time they're "reviewing" a movie.
I often found myself completely disagreeing with most of Siskel's opinions, but then, they were his opinions.
