He is a perfect representative of America incapable of critical thought and so stupid they don't know they are stupid and think Ben is just fine. Sorry but the last vestiges of critical thinking are on the web, and that net neutrality is being placed at serious risk. It's done kids!

These two don't even need to write in a newspaper. They could write what they thought about a film in a blog. I know that their show is 21 minutes tops and there are so many words they can say about one film. If they want to be respected by their peers, they should write some reviews and go into more detail about what they thought about the film. Jeez, even Roeper wrote some reviews when Ebert was recuperating.Danhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547680898943909160noreply@blogger.com
