(By the way, I may be the first person to call him Mank, but I am not sure about that)<BR/><BR/>Sometimes he says nonsense and I call it like I see it. I just don't think he is so awful that he needs a blog dedicated to attacking him. At the very least, he seems somewhat informed and intelligent, which is more than I can say for Lyons.Scotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15534672945058769050noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218032304234379989.post-5885426294533202512008-12-30T17:01:00.000-08:002008-12-30T17:01:00.000-08:00Hey Scott,I'm with Chase.

I refuse to watch At The Movies since he is now a reviewer on the program. I have never understood the thinking behind his reviews and have always felt he just gets paid to say nice things (money under the table). I have told many people I don't like his reviews and am glad to see that I am not alone in my feelings.Taylor Fhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933176273386992399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9218032304234379989.post-86922079470624443862008-12-30T14:09:00.000-08:002008-12-30T14:09:00.000-08:00Hey, Scott --I'm a new reader to this site (thank ...Hey, Scott --<BR/><BR/>I'm a new reader to this site (thank you, LA Times and Staticblog), and I share your disdain for Lyons.<BR/><BR/> But I am curious why you give a free pass to Ben Mankiewicz, who, like Lyons, seems to be on the show largely because of more famous relatives.<BR/><BR/> Frankly, Mankiewicz was just as cringingly embarrassing as Lyons in his I-don-t-get-it review of "Synecdoche, New York." I've yet to feel like either one are capable of more than token insight. Granted, Lyons is in a special class of piffle, but I think his colleague is getting a free ride as a result.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
