Bald Guy vs. Fat Guy
Very cool — digitized film reviews from Siskel & Ebert going back to 1987 are now viewable at atthemoviestv.com. Although it would be fun to revisit what they thought of the good movies, of course I had to immediately check out the worst ones. The first film I looked up, the 1996 crapfest Space Jam, oddly enough had both Gene and Roger in an ecstatic thrall of Michael Jordan worship. Which had me speechless — c’mon, that was an awful, awful movie. Next, I looked up the forgotten Tony Danza comedy She’s Out of Control. Re-viewing their discussion on what a depressing, soul-sucking time they both had was priceless (unfortunately, the site had nothing on Mannequin or Mannequin 2: On the Move). Roger Ebert’s column on the old clips has a few nice reminiscences on his years with Siskel. Can’t wait to look up their reactions to those worthless Friday the 13th sequels.
