• Very sad to see that the venerable Ebert movie review program, which was still fairly decent quality even in its more recent Roeper years, has now been hijacked and converted to a horrible, worthless goof-bucket show ...

• Poor Ebert can't even speak nowadays -- the dear Lord only knows what he would say if he could !! ... Mankiewicz might have been passable under different circumstances, but with atrocious format and production -- and worse still, an emptyheaded stud-muffin…
