Gene Siskel left us.

You were one of the best critics I've ever read and seen, good sir. Your words and thoughts are still sorely missed.

:salut:

Remembering Gene...

The balcony closed way too soon for Gene Siskel, who was more than just a film critic. Remember when Siskel actually got access into the Bulls' locker room before his death when the Bulls won I believe their 4th NBA Championship over the Sonics?

By all accounts he was a very nice guy, but I never learned anything from his reviews.
