Ebert and Roper

[trancejeremy]

Heathens! How can you not like the original Fog?

Scary? No. It's basically just a ghost story. But very compelling.

Did anyone see this weekend's episode of Ebert and Roper? I want to know if they gave The Fog "The Wagging Finger of Shame"., and I missed it. I wish Channel 9 would show it on Sundays, like they used to.

To answer the post's original question: yes, the wagging finger was utilized. They explained that perhaps it was just as well, since every movie that week got 2 thumbs up and a review of The Fog may have broken that.

Hm, having forgotten that Roper is the guy who replaced Siskel on that show, I thought that 'Roper' was something to do wiht D&D, hence I was intrigued...

I can see that. It's actually "Roeper" that was Siskel's replacement, so that might help.

I've always thought Roeper comes across as kind of a weasel.

To further confuse the issue...

He let Jack stay in the apartment despite believing he was gay. That sounds pretty progressive to me. Well, progressive for a man who was already old in the 70s.

You're right, it did confuse me.


...What?

I'm with you there. I could have done with a lot less of his wife's mumus, though.

I think his abscence helped sink the spin-off.

You might be thinking of the late Chris Farley . . . of the Farley Brothers.
