2. I actually think he's great.
I've never followed any other critic. I didn't follow him as much before Siskell died. I wish I could have.

3. I was the other way
Love Ebert, didn't care for Siskel. I always found myself liking Eberts favorites, though some of mine he absolutely hated, like Blue Velvet..

11. He actually gave brown bunny a worse review than deuce bigalow
but it was supposedly edited quite a bit for release.

Famous line to Vincent Gallo at Cannes: "I may be fat, Mr. Gallo, but I'll be thin one day, and you'll always be the director of the Brown Bunny." (paraphrase)
