Fictional Promo From 1985: "I'm Sean Connery And For The First Time I'll Be Hostin' "Saturday Night Live" With A Surprise Musical Guest, Bet You Guess Who It Really Is..." IT'S A SECRET! (Shhhhhh!) 11:30/10:30 Central & Mountain Let's All Be There! (TELECAST IN STEREO)

While I disagree with some of Roger’s points and I love the film, I do think his review is insightful. He brings up some interesting points about the relationships he would have liked to see fleshed out more fully. Again, I love the film, but I do see his point.

Not "space regulations" Ebert, it's corporate regulations!

Not sure why Gene is so smitten with the love story in the first two movies. If anything, its an anti-love story that ends with Lois realizing she had been objectifying/romanticizing a version of Superman that didn't and couldn't exist.

3:53 I don’t know who might admit to being Bill Cosby’s best friend nowadays.

Gene was such a fuddy-duddy...

❤❤❤

As a stickler for structure, I love how these were formatted in chronological order.

Ebert really did know a lot about films, but when he was wrong, he was really wrong.

7:24 Freak Out! Freak Out!

6:53 Macho Man "Freak Out! Freak Out!"

OUCH

When mel still was not cookoo

Idiots

I had seen Veronica Cartwright before. But this is the first movie I asked myself "Who is she?" We sure did find out.

Am I high or are they talking faster in this one??

The 2nd cannonball was trash but come on the first one was great there being a little snobbish here.

The film contains terrible acting, and it's also a ripoff of Halloween.

Orthodox Jew Simpson

Thanks for the credit on the videos from my page... ...

they didn't kidnap Mercy

Thanks so mush for this!!

Huh that music was also used in the paris Olympic opening ceremonies when the torchbearer flies away in a balloon.

Ebert was a fool and an idiot.

Very witty, but would define this more as a Fantasy/Thriller. Main review starts at 4:53

Look at these two douche bags commenting on hard work that REAL people put in to create a classic. One thing great about technology is it's burying this incredible level of suck with legitimate voices. Nuke it from orbit.

Irwin Allen's complete lack of talent and unlikability doomed WHEN TIME RAN OUT before it ever began filming: Warner Bros. and most of the cast (especially Paul Newman) only greenlit/signed on to the film because they had contractual obligations with Allen and wanted to get them done and cut any ties with him forever. Allen never directed another theatrical film again.

1977 to 1982. Best era for movies. And music!

Malls were great back then

Saw this movie in a Mall, in a Mall

I can’t understand how they - not once - would have had the thought: The viewers are probably not sick individuals. They like to be shocked and startled, and an attack on a woman, in people's minds, has a much more profound meaning than an attack on a man. A female victim is pitied much more than a male one. Her peril is felt to a larger extent. These two guys made the mistake of not asking the fans of these films or the makers of them. If you are like me, old and nerdy and a Horror Freak - you know, old readers of Fangoria and suck - you will know that most creators of these movies, are and were in fact very moral people. The same goes for the viewers. Siskel and Ebert were staggeringly uninformed on this, and they spoke with the confidence of the ignorant.

This film is fucking hilarious. A brilliant send-up of the "Mondo" documentary B-movies of the 60s and 70s ... although neither Siskel nor Ebert nor any of the critics seem to reference that. "Mr. Mike's Mondo Video" is dark humor at its best. O'Donoghue's work was singular. It wasn't broad. It wasn't motivated by a need for quick, easy laughs.

One of my all time fav movies!😁👍👍

Conan vs Darth Vader…

The end part about the juvenilization of Hollywood, has stood the test of time, and predicted the state of entertainment today. Siskel was dead right about the trend.

_Superman II_ is indeed better than the original film.

Two thumbs down for this review. Jeez guys, if you can't get this one right, why keep reviewing movies at all? Oh, you're both dead.

OMG! I had to 👇👇👇the ⏩ button through the one with Peter Ustinov as Charlie Chan. 😫 It was literally too painful to watch! Jesus! What were the makers 𝙩𝙝𝙞𝙣𝙠𝙞𝙣𝙜?

"...a cross between a squid, and a spider, and the Thing." Meaning the creature from 1951's "The Thing from Another World". John Carpenter's "The Thing" wouldn't come out for another three years after "Alien" to match/surpass its groundbreaking sci-fi horror, though Ebert didn't like it. 🤣

The only thing I liked about Under the Rainbow back in the day was Carrie Fisher in garter belt and bullet bra.

All the dogfight scenes are alternate takes and not as well done as the final version

Holy cow, that scene was absolutely creepy and horrifying. Did people in the late 70's/80's really not know what sexual assault was?

I love you

They start this off with two classics---UP IN SMOKE and PIRANHA

Jeez - no mention of the QUEEN soundtrack???

That part where the girl says "Look, they need machines to fly" always annoyed me. These guys literally just got/discovered their powers and a few minutes later she's looking down her nose at humans? I mean frankly, I'm more impressed by the person that creates the ability to fly than the one simply gifted that power.

HAPPY NEW YEAR 2025

AMAZING

REMARKABLE

MERRY CHRISTMAS 2024
