Remembering Gene Siskel - (3/3)

This was the half-hour tribute show to one of our most beloved film critics of all time, Gene Siskel. I will upload the show to honor the great man that Gene Siskel was. And to show, that him and Roger Ebert, were one of the greatest teams ever to live.

Part 3 of 3.

Thank you for posting. I just read Esquire's interview with Ebert, and there's a part in the interview where he gets extremely upset that videos of his tribute were taking down on his blog due to violation. That made me want to go find it, and I'm glad it's still up.

Yes, I also read that amazing article. It was very moving.

The way he remembers Siskel is amazing!

[MillaHead]

Amazing. I was saddened to see the show end after Roeper left. Those new guys were terrible.

[hoklik2]

You have reasons to smile. The Bens have been replaced by A.O Scott and Michael Phillips.

Makes me so sad....I really liked watching his reviews....it's like losing a friend.

[hoklik2]

Thanks for your comment. Gene Siskel was truly one of a kind.

The new "At the Movies" with Ben Lyons is hardly honoring Siskel's memory.

i could never do what Roger just did.

i'd break down.

[robaquarian]

@septip123 he probably did.but did many takes.

At the 2:00 mark, "Ebert: You know big guy...I love you."

I just love Siskel's reaction. Sure it's schtick for a talk show appearance in front of a studio audience, but look at his face. He doesn't laugh it off, he doesn't respond, he doesn't play to the audience. He just looks right back at Ebert with a soft smile. Like he could detect a little sincerity somewhere in there. It's such a funny and bittersweet note to end such a touching tribute on.

Oh, I'm ready for my close up Mr. DeMille!

as bad as ebert looks, his wife looks like cedric the entertainer

Would you buy a used car from this man/

[TheComedyfan123]

I wonder if Gene would've continued the show if Roger was the one who died.

Evan1975, I hear ya. I'd thrown John Ritter in that mix as well....Rip Gene Siskel....

[evan1975]

What made that show work was those two guys. None of the replacements were even 1/100th as good as Gene (or Roger).

Gene's death was one of the very few celebrity deaths that actually saddened me. (Phil Hartman's is the only other one I can think of offhand.)

[Xtos1989]

this is such a heartbreaking video man. I cant watch it.

What do you know for sure? Very significant question for everything in this world. Siskel was a very smart man! R.I.P Gene Siskel!!!
