The much-heralded return of intelligent movie criticism is on hold, for now, as of the end of December. In a post of refreshing candor, executive producer Roger Ebert has laid the cause bare: a lack of funding. It would be interesting to research the differences in funding models and distribution that have arisen since 1975, when the At The Movies concept first debuted on public television with Ebert and the late Gene Siskel. I am also sure that in today's economy, "Viewers Like You" isn't much of an option either. Here's hoping we see more of Christy Lemire and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky soon, as they were starting to get spot-on chemistry.
