They were like Martin and Lewis or Hope and Crosby... they knew how to work that magic that kept us watching! Gene is sorely missed!

Today is the the day that Gene died. It was 12 years ago. Time has gone by so fast. I was in bed recovering from the flu when I heard the sad news. And today, Roger is plugging along even with his own illness. The day Roger dies will be a very sad one for all. So sad for both.

RIP Gene, you are sorely missed. That was a fine and fitting tribute, i have seen it now several times over the years. It is both touching and funny.

Even though I didn’t watch the show very often, I was shocked that he passed away at the time. He was a very intelligent man and a very good film critic. Felt sorry about his family and his wife, Marlene. He is truly misses and will always be remembered.

When Roger Ebert is gone, I will never read another film review.

Nobody else can compare.

Gene and Roger help me look at movies in a different way. This new at the movies show is not the same as when Gene and Roger reviewed movies

After analyzing hundreds of Siskel & Ebert videos, I have come up with a few points that may help to explain their dynamic.

!) Neither was visually more favourable than each other. You either had the tall, balding guy or you had the short, fat guy. They were equals which forced viewers to actually listen to them to decide who you agree with.

2)They were very competitive, but they never reduced their arguments to insulting eachother. Instead of winning by putting the other down, they wanted to win by being better. Meaning, they were trying to be smarter than the other than trying to make the other look dumb.

You know what’s scary? Gene, Tim Weigel & Brian (Bison Dele) Williams all appear together in the same segment. All three of them are now dead.

And we aren’t even 15 years removed from those Finals.

The Day Roger Ebert dies will be the end of film critics.

I have no interest in what any other "critic" says, because nobody else can be as insightful or write as well as him.
