Roger That

Roger Ebert announced today that he too is leaving Ebert & Roeper, which means that poor ampersandy bastard has to run the show all by himself; Richard Roeper already announced his departure.

In a statement he released today, Ebert writes "The [thumbs] trademark still belongs to me and Marlene Iglitzen, Gene [Siskel]'s widow, and the thumbs will return. We are discussing possibilities, and plan to continue the show's tradition."
