"...and with that in mind we built the executive toy. I liked the fact, and I wanted it to be like a guillotine...where you hoist the thing up and he drops it-- this decision is made. It's kind of like Siskel and Ebert, you know, doing the manly thing. Everything about that is hard, and manly, and knife-edged. It's very executive-like. Siskel and Ebert have this manly approach to film criticism where they have to do the manly thing of doing a thumbs up or a thumbs down, playing the emperor; and i was told by Gene Siskel when i complained about this being very damaging to films and filmmaking, this black and white approach, he said it was harder for him than i could ever imagine, that to make that decision, that when he approached a film he knew he had to make this manly decision, and it wasn't easy, but a man's got to do what a man's got to do. And he would do that. So I'm really -- I think it's absolutely wonderful that we filmmakers get to spend years of our lives and millions of other people's money to make films to let Gene uh Siskel prove once again that he's a man. You know I've never gotten -- I've only gotten thumbs down from him, I only got one thumb up from him on Munchausen, fuck him." -- Terry Gilliam, audio commentary, Brazil DVD
