Roger Ebert's new show starts soon and the production logo is too cute:
Ebert Presents at the Movies
By Roger Ebert on January 3, 2011 6:05 PM

Christy Lemire of The Associated Press and Ignatiy Vishnevetsky of Mubi.com will be the co-hosts of "Ebert Presents at the Movies." The two experienced and respected critics will also introduce special segments featuring other contributors and the Pulitzer Prize-winning critic Roger Ebert.


The new weekly program debuts Jan. 21 on public television stations in 48 of the top 50 markets, representing more than 90% national coverage. It will be produced in Chicago at WTTW, where Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert began taping "Sneak Previews" some 35 years ago.

"It was pretty emotional for me, walking down the same corridors, into the same studios, even meeting some of the same camera operators, editors and stagehands we worked with," Ebert said.


The executive producer of the program will be his wife, Chaz. The director will be Don Dupree, who logged 15 years as director of "Siskel & Ebert" and "Ebert & Roeper." Ebert will be a co-producer and host a weekly segment. He had direct input into the selection of the show's critics. The new show will be distributed nationwide by American Public Television (APT)... more at

(While it wasn't the cat who got Ebert's tongue, thankfully, he will not be silenced.)

3. Hi CaliforniaPeggy.
Happy New Year.

"The Third Man" is hands down my favorite movie.

I recommend if you haven't seen it.

4. Happy New Year to you too!
I don't think I have seen it, but I've seen so many clips that I can't be sure, lol!

Still, your recommendation carries a lot of weight with me.

Thank you!

5. If anyone deserves to compare himself to Welles, it's Ebert! Fantastic!
