90s TV | Siskel & Ebert | The Future of Movies | Part 1 | Scorsese | Lucas | Spielberg | 1990

4:37 I wonder how Spielberg's Howard Hughes biopic would've been different from The Aviator.

[@TheVCRTimeMachine]

The "costume" movie Scorsese was talking about was "Age of Innocence"

[@cliffslatterly2893]

It's amazing what they knew in 1990. Fascinating.

[@lw3646]

Speilberg definitely did grow up in the 90s and continued on in that direction while still doing the odd kids film like the BFG.

[@frozenbananas6726]

what a fantastic group of directors they picked, because they all kept making names for themselves for decades after. Even with the duds like George Lucas, it really shows a lot about cinema, for good or bad.

[@meatwoodflacmedia]

Steven: I'm interested in a biography of Howard Hughes Marty: Sounds nice i'll be taking that

[@sha11235]

What's great is that years later, both Spielberg and Scorcese won Best Director Oscars.

9:56 "Oh, it's all done on computers these days." 1990

[@lewiscranston881]

Everyone's working for Spielberg now.

[@gregfujita2582]

And,indirectly Lucas since he owns the most stock in Disney than anyone alive

[@martykeaton182]

10:47 - 11:00 Something to think about.

[@andrewbevan4662]

ya all got any of that volume boost and noise reduction?...

[@GasCityGuy]

How did that Goodfella's movie turn out?

[@ruly8153]

Have you not seen it?

[@bijibadness]

isn't that interesting, how Spielberg talks of his desire to make a Howard Hughes movie, seeing as they also speak with Scorsese.

[@lewiscranston881]

+FloydPink23 Christopher Nolan had literally no chance of making that film.

[@smokeylonesome4328]

I wonder who Michael Cane would've played.

[@ArkhamTV]

If I were them I'd been asking Ebert for his days with Russ Meyer back then.

[@mrnocal]

I love that Spielberg pretty much said he'd never make an ET sequel because the story ended and was complete. Some movies don't need a sequel and shouldn't have one. Jaws shouldn't have had a sequel or sequels because they all just got worse and worse and tarnished the "Jaws" name, but that was early on in his career and he probably had no choice in the matter.

[@STEVEHEROLD]

he had nothing to do with the Jaws sequels.

[@mrnocal]

@@STEVEHEROLD True, but the studio probably had in the contract that sequels could be made, whereas with ET he had control.

8:40 - 9:00 Scorsese: comic book movies like this batman movie will ruin the art of cinema.

[@ractsninjas]

Spielberg never should have grown up. His best work was 70s and early 80s.

[@karlkarlos3545]

I just can't listen to Lucas without laughing anymore.

[@ractsninjas]

Lucas doesn't belong here, sorry.

[@gregfujita2582]

Agreed...great producer,storyteller yes..but, he's 1st to admit hates directing

[@charlierobbins598]

Before the prequels he was a legendary director. Only three films and all three were great (THX 1138, American Graffiti and Star Wars)

[@lw3646]

Yes he direcred two good films in the 70s but the rest have not been anywhere near that good.

[@MrHEC381991]

Scorsese beats them all

[@karlkarlos3545]

In making a movie about Howard Hughes?

[@ramseybrown3233]

Easily

[@cinemadario]

How? They'r way different in style and cant be compared. Spielberg has made a comedy, drama, history, biography, war, Sci-fi, adventure, horor, action, romance, ect... Martin is great but he keeps in his comfort zone, mostly crime/drama movies ...Mean streets, Goodfellas, Casino, Taxi driver, Gangs of New York, ect Not many director can make movies in different genre.

[@frozenbananas6726]

as far as time, Ill give you that. Spielberg was a legend in the 70's / early 80's but hes lost a lot of steam in the past decade or so. Scorsese has never lost steam

[@lw3646]

@@cinemadario wolf of wallstreet had mainstream popularity and his religious films are also different, but generally speaking you're right.

[@bmla88]

6:30 - 7:00 George Lucas: One day I think I’ll sell it all to Disney for millions of dollars so they can ruin these shitty movies.

[@eargasm1072]

the future is here...what is it?? From what this century has produced so far it seems the death of artistic "value, merit and social commentary"
