I was thinking all the big name critics from the 90s had all passed, but Shalit is still around.

https://www.google.com/search?q=Gene+Shalit+2026&udm=2But I can’t remember if I liked him as a reviewer. A little before my time, or something like that. Every once in a while I do like watching Siskel & Ebert on YT, though. Two smart, passionate guys who clashed well.

He looks like an Instagram old filter cartoon of himself. That’s incredible. new life goal: age ridiculously.

I hope he’s still reviewing books but rating them all horribly because he fell asleep 37 times and couldn’t remember where he was.

Wow. I would have assumed this guy was dead already. Thanks for sharing!
Its 239 years old and was passed down generation by generation. Mr. Shalit has been the owner since he was 13.

Couldn’t help it. Read ‘Shalit’ and heard Emeril Lagasse in my head, pronouncing the word ‘shallot’.

If you live to 100, you’re legally allowed to make up any reason for how you managed to do so. That’s as good as any!

Well, good for him, but it doesn’t change the fact that he was an awful film critic.
