Yea, he's in bad shape, but he keeps on reviewing films. He hasn't done the TV show in quite awhile because he has trouble speaking, but has continued to write weekly reviews for newspapers and his web site. Nine times out of ten I disagree with his views on various films, but despite that he's a fantastic writer and he knows his stuff!!

I always wondered why he never returned to the show but i guess this explains it. Maybe the show is jinxed? It's kinda ironic considering how Gene Siskel passed on.

Yea thats a shame. I always wondered what happened to him. When I used to work in my familys business we had a tv and I would always watch his show. When I saw him gone for a while I thought he just left. Then I saw him on the news or something not too much longer and he looked like this.

I know its horrible what happened to him, but now he looks like one of those puppets from the Genesis video Land Of Confusion. Good he's was able to survive what he had though.
