Stick That Thumb...

Roeper is leaving Ebert and Roeper. Many movie review shows have been tried over the years. All have failed, except for the ones featuring Roger Ebert. It will be interesting to see what show Roeper ends up on. I don't blame him for leaving. Regardless whether Ebert was coming back, the show really took a turn for the worst when Disney refused to pay Ebert for use of the "thumbs" trademark, thus ending the show's last connection to the Siskel-Ebert period. The rumor is that Disney has been trying to produce the show as cheaply as possible.
