From some dude on slashdot:


Siskel & Ebert was from a different time when you could turn on the TV and see two educated people have a lively and respectful disagreement about matters of quality. I don't expect I'll live to see such a thing again.

Yeah, real bummer. And I can relate to the slashdot dude. When I used to watch TV regularly, Sneak Previews (which later morphed into "At The Movies") was part of my weekly routine. Funny thing is I often disagreed with their assessments, especially in regards to reviews of the SiFi genre.

RIP Mr. Ebert.
