RIP At The Movies

What a sad day... Less than a year after it was improved immensely by appointing Michael Phillips and A.O. Scott as the new hosts, the show At the Movies has been canceled.

I understand that the now voiceless Ebert can never return, and the trademarked thumb ratings can never be used by other hosts. But, I thought the current ones were doing a damn fine job. And, Ebert is not gone, either -- his written reviews are as fresh and enticing to read as ever.

So sad.
