Of course Ebert's battle with cancer has had us concerned for the longest time of one of the finest movie critics ever, but just last week it was discovered he and his Sun-Times colleague won't be returning to "At The Movies," a show that has brought him national fame.

But that's not the end of it, 26-year-old Ben Lyons is taking over.
And the question is: How sick are you as a fan?

It is the most anticipated film of the year--maybe "Indiana Jones"--and it's already living up to some of the hype. Given the tragic death of Heath Ledger and the massive success of the previous installation, we cannot hold back our excitement for what will probably the best superhero movie to ever grace the big screen.

Believe it.

It's sort of like when basketball phenom Lebron James came out of high school to enter the NBA. Never was there hype about an athlete that not only lived up to its billing, but exceed them.

More than ever, "Dark Knight" should do the same.

By the way, this is the first feature film to ever be partially shot with IMAX cameras. I've got to experience it first hand in Woodridge this weekend.

You can keep fighting it, but Ribfest--like Naperville--keeps getting bigger.

And there's nothing wrong with that. I'm looking for suggestions for new locations.

Got any?

If you grill it, they will come.

"The Field of Dreams" slogan doesn't quite apply to people preparing pork in mass, but it's a no-brainer that Ribfest brings in tons of people to the area.

But that does mean it's a good thing?
