Gene Siskel: Self - Host

Quotes 

• Himself - Host : [Gene on 'The Late Great Planet Earth']  My dog is another fast-buck affair with a big advertising campaign, it's a depressing hangdog film, a shallow would-be documentary 'The Late Great Planet Earth' which interprets current world crisis like the oil shortage, famine and air pollution as signs that the world is coming to an end much as has been prophesized in the book of Revelations. In other words, you can pay up to four bucks to see this movie and walk out of the theater feeling thoroughly depressed. Orson Welles serves as narrator but even he can't sell this bilge which speculates that we're all headed toward the end of the world with the signals being the founding of Israel and the European common market. What a lot of nonsense!
