Goed nieuws voor de liefhebbers van 's wereld meest beruchte filmcriticus Roger Ebert: de 65-jarige Amerikaan heeft meer dan 1000 van zijn op televisie verschenen reviews online geplaatst op AtTheMoviesTV.com. Met meer dan 5000 recensies is er daar voor de fans dus heel wat kijkplezier te beleven.
Ebert: "Gene (Siskel) and I knew those old shows would be worth saving, but for a long time nobody agreed with us. In the years before home video, it seemed like a waste of expensive video tape to preserve hundreds of episodes of our earlier incarnations on 'Opening Soon at a Theater Near You', 'Sneak Previews' or 'At the Movies'. After all, the movies we were reviewing werent going to be opening again, and whod want to watch a show of old movie reviews? Right? All of that changed, and the current era of DVDs and Blockbuster and Netflix and streaming online content began to unfold. Today, there would be an audience for the original Siskel & Ebert reviews of, say, Batman or Jurassic Park, or Ebert & Roeper trading opinions on Crash or Brokeback Mountain or Martin Scorsese and I picking the best film of he 1990s."
