<p> They are the Fred and Ethel Mertz of film criticism, rote
sparring partners who would be better off in couples' therapy.
GENE SISKEL and ROGER EBERT recently had one of their snippiest
spats to date after Siskel (that's right, the thin one)
disclosed The Crying Game's major plot twist on the duo's
pre-Oscar TV special. An angry Ebert thought the revelation
arrogant and selfish. Siskel's take: "Roger is an only child,
and he thinks he runs the world. He was mad because he wasn't
consulted." Siskel did warn viewers of his impending security
breach, a considerate gesture for the hype-resistant few to whom
Dil is just a kind of pickle.
