ebert, what a prick he shows him self to be!

Well, Siskel and Ebert had to work together. And when two people of any gender combination have to spend a lot of time together for many years, isn't it like a marriage? And don't married people have dumb, pointless arguments like that all the time?

Ebert himself said of the relationship, “How meaningless was the hate, how deep was the love.”

And don't married people have dumb, pointless arguments like that all the time?

horrible married people i guess.

No, even "happily" married people who have been together 20 years or more do this. I may be single, but I've observed a lot of married couples from newlyweds to 90-year-olds. Married people fight over stupid things and then they make up as if nothing happened.

I suspect that this dynamic applies to any two people forced to spend lots of time with each other over many years. It's just the nature of having to deal with the grind of life day-in, day-out with the same person. So I wouldn't judge them too harshly for that. They were also laughing together a few seconds later.
