Roger Ebert’s tribute to Gene Siskel, 10 years to the day of his death, is deeply moving and, I suspect, profoundly felt partly because of what Ebert himself has been going through for the last 2-3 years.
The video above features one of my all-time favorite Ebert-Siskel back-and-forths, about the David Mamet angry-bear-attacking-Alec-Baldwin movie The Edge:
Siskel: The bear wasn’t interesting.
Ebert: Oh, I was interested in the bear. Especially when it was chasing them.
Siskel: Oh, good. As opposed to hibernating.
