Roger Ebert: The Balcony Is Closed

[Dr. Duran Duran]

When I grew up, I was always a big Siskel & Ebert fan. Though I didn't always agree with Roger's opinions, I always respected him for his candor and sense of humor. Seems Ebert & Roeper is now taking a permanent leave of absence.

Sad to hear the show as we know it is coming to an end

The show as I know it ended when Gene Siskel died. That was a great show, and for the time (pre-cable for most people, including me), it was the ONLY outlet for movie trailers just about anywhere. I really, really liked At the Movies back in the day.

There are some great clips of their reviews from the 1980s on YouTube that are must-see.

I rarely watched them but knew that if it was 2 thumbs up that I wouldn't like it. I respected them just never liked what they did.

I'm too lazy to look for it, but there's a great clip of them ripping Ferris Bueller's Day Off upon their first review of it. Classic stuff indeed. Imagine ripping the quintessential teen film of the decade only to look back on your review twenty years later and chuckle.
