"The trouble with Reason is thatI loved that……" — Bernard DeVoto

"The trouble with Reason is thatI loved that these two guys argued with each other as if movies actually mattered. Nobody I knew talked about movies that way, but Siskel and Ebert took each movie as it came and talked about whether it was a success on its own terms. it becomes meaningless at the exact point where it refuses to act."
