Many angry folks are writing in to say that they've just heard Roeper, of the 'Ebert & Roeper' movie critics show, say he "would like to see LOTR:FOTR get shut-out at the Oscars", he claimed it was too long.

(eye starts twitching... -Xo)

UPDATE: You can now email Richard Roeper and tell him what you think of his comments (be respectful please -Xo), tell him TheOneRing.net sent you! [EMAIL]
