He was and still is the best interviewer around. And his passion can make you want to see the worst movie HE ever saw from beginning to end.

Starting in the early 1990s, I campaigned to do entertainment features and film reviews as a contributor on a network morning news show. I pitched to NBC, ABC and CBS.Bobby Rivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757915604307655038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412349548038723311.post-21498737600620099542013-07-11T10:04:04.813-07:002013-07-11T10:04:04.813-07:00Good luck, Bobby!

It still amazes me that in the 2010's none of the networks have ever had a black film critic.Terence Towles Canotehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18397088843628331615noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412349548038723311.post-50079966939157793462013-07-11T09:57:20.212-07:002013-07-11T09:57:20.212-07:00Thank you very, very much.

From DO THE RIGHT THING to THE HELP, I can't recall ever seeing a black film critic on a network news program -- are on a local newscast in New York City -- telling me why the film is good and why I should see it. You didn't see us on TV reviewing those movies. Or talking about TOOTSIE, POSTCARDS FROM THE EDGE, AMERICAN BEAUTY, THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA or LINCOLN for that matter. We're not yet part of the mainstream movie discussion on TV. I hope to change that.Bobby Rivershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11757915604307655038noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412349548038723311.post-84271411872091239622013-07-11T09:43:33.670-07:002013-07-11T09:43:33.670-07:00I am crossing my fingers for you!

Good luck--so excited for you!chiefbroadhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06349794774119939801noreply@blogger.com
