I'm not going to judge Disney until I see Lyons and Mankiewicz on the show together, in action.<BR/><BR/>- J.D., Aisha Tyler surprised me. She came off as very articulate and intelligent. I wonder why Disney didn't think of a female co-host for "At the Movies."<BR/><BR/>I looked up Ben Lyons on Youtube. He's so...fidgety.<BR/><BR/>- Kayleigh, I haven't seen enough of Ben Lyons to form a solid opinion on him, so I'll just stick to believing that he's super fidgety, haha.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-43115211461007992562008-08-18T09:51:00.000-07:002008-08-18T09:51:00.000-07:00I don't know about this show because I'm Scottish ...I don't know about this show because I'm Scottish but I love Ben Lyons, he has an infectious energy and is a lovely guy.Kayleighhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17965969548190966966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-10573148077925351882008-08-18T03:20:00.000-07:002008-08-18T03:20:00.000-07:00I still wish they would've kept Aisha Tyler as the...I still wish they would've kept Aisha Tyler as the co-host. The two times she did the show in 2006 were seriously great. IDK, she was.<BR/><BR/>I like Ben Mankiewicz, but I hope he still stays on TCM. Ben Lyons...

I think Phillips was a good replacement, but now hes going to be gone too.

I don't think there is any other prominent film critic out there who is able to connect to the average moviegoer like Ebert can. He loves movies and he makes his points with simple yet effective language.<BR/><BR/>After watching the archival videos with Siskel and Ebert, Ebert and Roeper's discussions pales in comparison. Roeper constantly appears to be somewhat intimidated by Ebert (who wouldn't?), while Siskel wasn't afraid to tackle Ebert. Roeper and Phillips are comfortable with each other, making their banters fun and entertaining to watch.<BR/><BR/>That said, I'm more heartbroken that Roeper and Phillips are out of the picture than Ebert leaving the show. Ebert was a fantastic asset to the show and helped to develop the idea, but his finer days as a TV critic were with Siskel. As much as I'm bummed to see the original format go, the show no longer needs Ebert now.<BR/><BR/>I guess all we can all hold our breaths until Sept. 6th.<BR/><BR/>- Nick, there are rumors that it'll be a blend of film criticism and entertainment news. I hope it doesn't turn into another trashy celebrity gossip show.Marcyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03026474177609894679noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4581610664264670624.post-36782316286295321412008-08-17T21:16:00.000-07:002008-08-17T21:16:00.000-07:00I too as just interested in seeing what happens, w...I too as just interested in seeing what happens, what's done with it, but I am not especially excited.

It seems like it these guys might not have the bite that Phillips, Ebert or Roeper have. I don't really care for Roeper all that much to be honest but Ebert is god and with Phillips being on lately I love him almost as much. <BR/><BR/>The comments these guys have made about their excitement to be on such a prestigious show seem a little awkward since the show has obviously been hijacked and the geniuses behind the show are no longer going to be at all attached to it. <BR/><BR/>So suffice to say, I join you in looking forward to seeing what's done with it, but am extremely saddened that I won't get to see the show in it's usual format with Ebert having a lot to do with it.Dead Panhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14948105275239152520noreply@blogger.com
