Geeks on Reviews

In the midst of my morning “task” of wasting time to browse through websites, I was reading the blog of my friend Joey Connelly, who produces the Geeks on Parade podcast. By the way, GOP (not the political party) is a good “geek” podcast that I recommend you take some time to try. Yes, this is a blatant advertisement. No, I make no apologies.

Anyway, Joey’s latest blog post brought to my attention the relaunch of the Ebert & Roeper website. And I must say, I am almost impressed at the change. On the new website, you can search for over 20 years of reviews from Roger Ebert, Richard Roeper, and even Gene Siskel (whom I have preferred the most out of the three).

Why am I not quite impressed? After being forced to watch an advertisement prior to a show clip, the clip will not load more than about ten seconds, if I get even that far. Let’s hope that this problem is fixed soon, because I am getting tired of watching the same car commercial five times only to get no substantial video in the end.

If this problem ever fixes itself, though, go visit the website. I’d give it at least one thumb up, but that would be too clichéd. So, I give it three dried out banana chips out of five.
