Lemire + Mitchell?? Why not Richard Roeper?


Back when Richard Roeper first left At the Movies to make way for Ben 1 and Ben 2, he mentioned that he and Roger Ebert were working on a new TV series. Now that Roger Ebert Presents: AT the Movies has been announced, Richard Roeper isn't a part of it.....what gives?

You're from the future?Well that's brilliant!Do they still have sandwiches there?

Richard is reviewing films by himself on the Starz! channel-although I never see it. Must be on the website. Maybe he can't get out of that contract, otherwise he'd do it in a heartbeat.

Maybe they had other committments. Notice how this is the second time that Michael had to leave the show?

reply

I don't know why that they were not considered, or if they did and the producers found some reason why not have them, and besides didn't I hear the Mitchell dropped out of the show anyways since the first post was written.

Because Roeper is a foppish idiot and a bad journalist. He isn't even a legitimate film critic either, and hardly distinguishable from a tabloid reporter or an average-joe reviewer/appreciator like Ben Mankiewicz. He's already faded into oblivion, and there's no need to resurrect him.

If I could drop dead right now, I'd be the happiest man alive.

Well either case he still reviews movies for the STARZ on his own show like mentioned, if you don't have STARZ not to fret, and even if you don't know somebody that has it don't fret again because all of his movie reviews on on his website http://www.richardroeper.com , and you can see all his reviews there. The only thing that you are going to have to do to actually see it, you need to copy and paste the link in your url. I don't know how to get links to link up all by themself, otherwise I would have done it a long time ago.
