I can't remember who owns the rights to the Siskel Ebert and Roeper footage but please release it as a DVD collection or something, I would waste an entire day watching it 😅

[@SouthJerseySam]

Buena Vista, AKA Disney. I doubt they would even consider it, since they would have to pay copyright/license fees to distributers to the studios that AREN'T owned by their own company. That and they would probably have to pay the Ebert and Siskel family royalties as well.

[@progunliberal]

And? Popular opinion almost never correlates with good art. Should we believe that Ke$ha is an amazing artist because her music is popular? She's sing-yelling about going to clubs like it's some epic lifestyle over manufactured studio beats. If anything, judging something solely on how popular it is is almost antithetical to judging it's artistic merit.

[@thekingofmovies193]

@@progunliberal sometimes that's true, and sometimes it's not. Sometimes popular opinion can correlate with good art (i.e. Space Jam, The Polar Express and Die Hard with a Vengeance), movies that get dumped on by critics but the audience enjoys. It comes down to opinions, whether or not a movie is good, or if it's a waste of time.

Well, I have some sad news for everyone so I'll make it clear, okay? Emmy, Oscar and Tony nominated filmmaker Ivan Reitman who died at age 75 at his California home in 2022. Best known for his own projects as an filmmaker such as Meatballs, Stripes, Ghostbusters 1&2, Twins, Dave and more, Ivan Reitman also produced several projects for various filmmakers including Todd Phillips' Road Trip with an excellent cast. Released in 2000 by DreamWorks. His company was Montecito Pictures and survived by his lovely wife and three wonderful children. In many ways, Ivan Reitman will always deeply remembered but never forgotten.

[@Shorty_Lickens]

Gary Shandling proved like so many others, its not enough to have just A premise. You also need a string of good jokes to make use of the premise. That movie should have been one episode of a TV show or maybe even a long sketch on SNL or something similar. Probably madTV. They like dick jokes. And it should have been loaded with humor, not one joke every 10 minutes.

[@LibertyRapsher]

My #1 worst movie of 2000 was Mission to Mars and there isn't a close second (I saw it in the theater). However I don't regret seeing it, since it was responsible for one my hardest laughs of all time, when it gets to the scene where they show the alien. I would have laughed either way, but the degree and length of time in which I laughed could possibly be attributed to smoking weed prior. Even though the theater initially laughed as well, it got to the point where it was obnoxious to my friends and everyone in the theater because I couldn't stop laughing and just when I stopped laughing they showed the alien again and it started the whole process over again. I couldn't breathe I was laughing so hard. It wasn't just that scene, but it was laugh out loud Tommy Wiseau bad on every level (I don't know how it could be possible to write and direct something this horrifically bad). They spent 100 million on it and it follows all the cliche dialogue tropes of a corny big budget blockbuster movie, however it would make even the worst cringe. It is so shamelessly bad on every single level. I genuinely consider it the worst movie ever made when taking budget into account.

[@LibertyRapsher]

If you're unfamiliar, I recommend checking out the alien scene out on KZbin, however imagine approx 90 minutes of movie run time building up to that moment. Seeing the alien was as unexpected as when they show Ben Stillers d*ck caught in his zipper in Something about Mary, except that was intentionally hilarious.

[@billscannell93]

Ebert had reliable taste, certainly more so than Roeper, and I would say even a little more so than Siskel.

[@dylanmcdermott1110]

Ebert had better taste than Roeper, for sure. I probably agree with Siskel more often than Ebert, and I probably watch movies more like Siskel does in general. I will say Ebert is the superior writer.

[@peainapodtube]

@@dylanmcdermott1110 That's why they made such a great team, both great taste but differing sensibilities... of course, being a better writer does seem to be connected to Ebert's approach to film watching, which I think is a superior kind of sensibility but that's just my world-view and taste

The year 2000 was a year ill always remember. As a young man I remember being constantly disappointed by the films I saw in 2000. so many terrible films. Especially after the best year ever for films 1999. I did enjoy requiem for a dream, traffic, and gladiator

[@flaccidusminimus2170]

Mission: Impossible 2 may bite the big one, but becoming the highest grossing movie of the year hardly qualifies it for "fried franchise" status. I'm sure few thought it would live this long, but how could you not have expected at least a third entry?

My problem with What lies beneath is that the trailers spoiled the whole thing including the “twist”. If you go into the movie with 0 expectations and knowing nothing about it, it may have been entertaining. However, it hinges on a plot development that was already revealed in the trailers for the film. And, as a result, it probably sucked more than it would otherwise

Everyone has different tastes. He actually liked the Fast and Furious movies and the first two blade films..... but disliked Blade Trinity because it doesn't take a fan to realise that the writers were running out of ideas.

[@NeoConnor1]

The action scenes are more impressive in M:I-2 than in the original, and by more impressive I mean more showy, but the first was more suspenseful and intense.

[@QuestionEverything562]

Totally agreed. The cheesiness factor in MI2 was stupidly ridiculous. Tom Cruise completely mailed it in and there were so many bad cat n mouse scenes between Cruise and Thandie Newton. There was absolutely no chemistry there. Absolutely nothing realistic in this film. MI worked because there was serious internal espionage going on within their team. There was real serious stakes in the original. MI2, it never makes you feel like there's anything on the line. It was so trivial and comedic even.

[@QuestionEverything562]

Ebert was so far off on MI2. That movie was insanely cheesy and awful. Cruise and Newton were a terrible pairing. The stunt scenes made me roll my eyes every time. The most unbearable scene was at the very beginning when Cruise is chasing Newton in a cat n mouse car chase. It was so stupid that I laughed lol.

Fun Note: "Valley of the Dolls" is the biggest moneymaking hit film of 1967 in the history of 20th Century Fox. It did very well at the box-office and nominated for an 1968 Academy Award for best adapted score. It was the first of many for John Williams. But 2000's "Isn't She Great" for Universal didn't do well at the box-office and marked Debbie Shapiro Gravitte's final film performance as Eydie Gorme. After "Isn't She Great", she came back to Disney as an board member since 1986. In addition, she's been an part of the Hanes Brands family since 1989. Today, she lives in Connecticut with her husband, Beau Gravitte since February 1982 with their three wonderful children. Whatever the reason, she's got it all together in her heart with love and respect. Hang in there, Debbie!
