I dunno about the rest of you guys but im missing Siskel
and Ebert a lot lately. and Ebert and Roeper, to a lesser
extent.

currently enjoying watching them take a dump all over 1996
with thier worst of '96 list.

I am happy to still have redlettermedia, at least.

case in point: i rewatched Forrest Gump just now

ebert review has insights

while
Siskel&Ebert's piece is just a pretty terrible home video
advertorial

(should be mentioned Ebert is passed away, but the reviews
on the site are worth your time)

Ebert was so good man. No agendas, no cynicism. Always clear
and thoughtful. He definitely had his preferences but still
remained objective.

I shot him a short email in like 2007 about Lynch's Inland
Empire and he sent me a nice little reply. He never did get
around to reviewing it though, was already sick at that
point. Never did agree with many of his takes on Lynch, but
his POV was always interesting.
