I wonder, watching this first show that Siskel and Ebert did together, why over the years their temper got tougher and more scathing. They are in a very relaxed mood here, so maybe was because the increasing of bad movies over the years in american film industry too.

I don't consider the opinions of self-appointed critics with no technical knowledge of or experience in acting, cinematography, filmmaking, camera work, and scriptwriting to be worth considering.

Fitting that their first show began by reviewing an all time classic like One Flew Over The Cuckoo’s Nest.

Quite awkward how they had them craning their neck to look at the camera. Really fun to see these early episodes and how Siskel & Ebert evolved. "Siskel & Ebert Review" was their best format and opening in my opinion.

Did Siskel and Ebert review Jaws when it actually came out? Or did they just miss it? All I ever found was them talking about Jaws retrospectively a couple years after it came out.
@jeremybelcher1727 16 күн бұрын
I don't think they reviewed it together when it came out, as Jaws came out in June and they started together in November. Probably reviewed it separately for their respective papers, but just missed it for the joint review.

The Man Who Would Be King is a hell of an underrated movie, kind of a proto-Raiders of The Lost Ark but more of a moral tale with a dark undertone than a summer action flick, Michael Caine and Sean Connery at excellent in it, check it out if you haven't.

It's not THAT bad, really they get to talk longer than they did on their eventual show, and it's too bad they didn't live into the podcast era as I think we could have had some great longform discussions and stories from these guys. Think today hearing about the all the premieres, Cannes, concerts (remember seeing Ebert in the crowd of one of Pryor's standup movies), run ins with directors who didn't like them, would have been great.

You know how sometimes in movies & TV shows there are these comedic flashbacks to 70s or 80s and they show the main character with a silly haircut & moustache and wearing outdated clothes? Siskel is the real life version of that trope.

I always assumed that the 1976 "King Kong" was hated by the critics and was a box-office bomb, but it actually has a near-fresh 54% rating on Rotten Tomatoes, and it was the third-highest-earning movie that year. And Roger liked it!
@WilliamHerlihy-p4g 4 ай бұрын
I was 14 when King Kong was released, and I can confirm it was a hit. The main critical complaints at the time were the campy tone and, unfortunately, Jessica Lange's performance. She was unknown at the time, and for many critics she was too convincing playing the "dumb blonde" role. It was years before the critics took her seriously as an actress.

It's interesting to see how much Siskel changes in ten years (and one might argue Ebert too)- Siskel gave "thumbs down" to this before that was a thing and Ebert was up, but by the time of Blue Velvet it seems like the violence didn't bother Siskel much anymore while Ebert was up in arms about it.

Siskel: "I think it would have been better if the relationship between DeNiro and the girl had been explored in a positive sense." Siskel had an unfortunate habit of criticizing movies that explored darker themes or that disturbed his idea of what the level of violence should be in films - he always wanted movies to be "nicer", it seemed. To criticize "Taxi Driver" for not being a "positive", romantic film is just bizarre. If he "turned away" from the shootout at the end of the film, that's not a criticism of the film; it's a criticism of his ability to handle what was going on in it.

It's fun watching them in their early days together. You can tell they already had some chemistry, but they were just strangers talking about movies together. The friendship wasn't there yet.
