I always ask myself, ‘Is the movie that I am watching as interesting as a documentary of the same actors having lunch together?’”

This would have been Gene’s 60th Birthday. Even those he’s been gone almost seven years, I still find myself asking, “What did Siskel & Eb–, um, Ebert and Roeper think of this movie?”

Nothing against Richard Roeper, but film criticism was rarely better than when Gene and Roger were together. He will always be missed.
