In those days it was the only longform movie review TV show. They had a 30m show that was shown nationwide on PBS stations. Also back then professional reviews were of some value because there were no social media sites where regular people could talk about movies.
/thread. Also I generally agree with Ebert, even if he was way to hard on some horror movies.
I used to look forward to it every week.
yeah and you and your family would sit in front of the CRT and watch them to get advice on what to rent at the family video VHS store that weekend
god i want to go back
this, similar reason for Robert Christgau's popularity in music media despite having the shittiest most infuriating takes imaginable
yeah i wish christgau never became so influential... he started the whole "don't talk about technical or specific things - just give your emotional knee-jerk reaction to the band itself and what you feel they represent"
has infected every area of criticism
>get off the ssris
sometimes i'll forget whether or not i've taken a pill so i'll ask internally
>am i smiling a lot?
>or has my face been drawn?
and if i took it a huge smile will appear. test works every time.
>Siskel had the shittiest opinions and worst takes
ebert was the crazy one
>100% totally unable to explain why he hates brain candy while siskel raves
>tries to explain how home alone 3 is better than 1 and 2... because it empowers children... like in 1 and 2...
?t=280
siskel was the same way - torching shit while he could barely talk
beavis and butt-head do america also got two thumbs up. mask of the phantasm. akira (although siskel was quiet on that one). original gits
because they had the heckin sweater vests. That meant someone was legit I'm those days
you're a zoomer, you don't understand life before the internet and it's beyond your IQ to even understand
I watched their review of Thin Red Line recently and they liked it but literally didn't get it.
They legit had good bantz.

This, their show was maximum comfy in a way that younger generations will never be able to understand. If you didn't agree with them about a movie you just shrugged it off but you always came back to see them just shooting the shit.

literally who
That's Tim Heidecker and Greg Turkington
>Simpsons did it!
redditlettermedia before the internet
The matrix brothers before they transitioned
Fricking zoomer
Siskel had the shittiest opinions and worst takes. Dunno how he got so much acclaim as a film reviewer.
Eberts review of the dark knight rises is savage.
Its one of his last reviews before he croaked too but he still brings the fricking heat
I will give him slight props for his randomly positive review of Carnosaur.
Because they were on TV. Were you on TV?
Because they gave booty call two thumbs up. Seriously, they did
The amount of times they gave good reviews to movies that did well and bad reviews to movies that flopped were basically random, indicating no one listened to them.
autistic pseuds desperate for talking points so they can converse with normal people
Okay but what's your opinion on Armond White?
dangerously based. nobody from either side of the political or autistic spectrum actually reads his reviews, one side seethes and one side revels in the seethe
go away ESL zoomer, you taint this board
sorry you need somebody else to do your thinking for you, get off the ssris and/or painkillers and maybe that brain fog will clear up
siskel and ebert was a movie review show from the 80s you pedantic fool
i know you dumb Black person moron, that's why i came here to comment on it
There was a certain comfort in the pre-internet published world. You knew what to expect and it came at regular intervals. Nowadays you have fricking videos and writing speculating before the content is released, autistic two-hour long analyses of content, etc.
Who needs these two bumbling buffoons when you have REAL critics like Arrmond White.
He's getting old. I'm not ready for it to end.
Ebert would randomly criticize movies for the most inane, moronic shit in his Chicago Sun-Times column.
A few I remember are spending a paragraph b***hing about how John Candy should have been the love interest in Splash, b***hing that Mrs. Doubtfire didn't do any serious criticism of gender roles like Tootsie (it was a family comedy, numbnuts) and saying that Home Alone 3 was better than the first two because the plot made more sense and it was less violent.
