Yep. I think the whole name of that thing (institution? I don't know what the deal is) is just dumb and awful. I've read plenty of the real Roger Ebert's reviews, and their value was his own personal style and perspective. A Rogereber.com without Roger makes no sense and I don't trust anyone that works there or tries to put their reviews forward under his name.

    Ebert clearly recognized the value of his brand, and did what he could to ensure it would continue to support his family and colleagues long after he was gone. And while you’re certainly within your rights to be critical of the new writers’ opinions, it’s not like some evil corporation brought them in after immediately assuming the legal rights to Roger’s name.

    Oh I can see that and suspected it want some Evil corporation (for now I guess). I was just speaking as a user. I’m sure the whole makes sense from Roger’sc and his family’s perspective.

    Thanks for the response!
