Siskel& Ebert Alien Resurrection Flubber Welcome to Sarajevo 1997

[@HC-cb4yp]

I never thought watching a rerun of Siskel and Ebert would be like going home again.

[@marcofalzone6469]

Amen. It's the new thing🇺🇸. I call it pandemic relief

[@carolmahoney2109]

This was when Siskel started getting sick. What a loss to mankind they're both gone. They loved their jobs so much they both continued to do them on their deathbeds. What magic these 2 very special men made.

[@werdle92]

Flubber was cool when i saw it in the theater. I was also 5 years old.

[@aldridgejay]

Siskel created "HER" in this episode.

No, he ripped off 'Electric Dreams'. And he used to complain about the HOLLYWOOD using existing ideas :)

They had such chemistry RIP siskle and ebert

[@sha11235]

They sure did. Although we must remember that by 1997, they had done this show so long, they were at the top of their game. It took time on PBS to get it right. The early days were awful, with them not ad-libbing and having to memorize stuff. Once they started ad-libbing, they realized it would work.

[@zachlaney6344]

You can see how much they truly loved each other.

[@chriscornelius2518]

I worked at a video store and few customers thought it was called Alien Re-Erection.

[@loayprettyboy206]

Haaaaa no shit

[@navylaks2]

I always knew it as Alien Erection ;) God this movie sucked.

[@22espec]

Looks like the producers of 'HER' watched this episode.

[@patrickshields5251]

They're right about Flubber. John Hughes used to make intelligent films back in the 1980's but after the success of Home Alone, he began selling out dumb family comedies and unneeded remakes.

[@sha11235]

Hughes sort of ran out of ideas I guess in the 90's, which was why he left the business.

[@patrickshields5251]

Sad that he died but I'm glad that he left the business.

[@patrickshields5251]

@Bold One Disney basically wants money. It's all about fast cash.

[@cliffordshafran9250]

Hughes should've made "Weebo", with no Flubber or Robin Williams. I don't know what happened to him after making so many intelligent movies about teens, families, and holidays in the 1980's. RIP to Hughes, Williams, Siskel, and Ebert.

[@patrickshields5251]

@@cliffordshafran9250 Because the success of Home Alone really got into his head.

Oh, if it played on TV, then it couldn't get an Oscar. But I hope it got an Emmy.

when I saw the Flubber film the title thing looks more like Flel (flying Gel) then Flubber (flying rubber)

[@noahstewart5054]

Well, I liked "Alien: Resurrection". I know was it was the least successful of the "Alien" series on that continent. The film was well received internationally by critics, and of course, audiences were shocked and disappointed. But I thought it was enjoyable. Sigourney Weaver was really good in this role. As Ellen Ripley, she may not be a human, but she had a sense ability as a clone. Winona Ryder was absolutely good as Call. Some people thought she was a forgettable character, but I personally disagree. She's really gorgeous. I kind of like Winona more. Anyway, the story was very complicated, the characters were a little interesting, and the aliens were fresh-meat eating creatures that will take some of the crew out one by one. Of course the death scenes were actually dead zone and bizarre, but so what? It was meant to be gory, bloody, and scary. I understand it was a disappointing way to end the "Alien" trilogy, but it wasn't that bad at all. It's just my only opinion. Sorry, Siskel and Ebert, but I really enjoyed it as a gore fest horror sc-fi film. Thumbs up for me on "Alien: Resurrection". Alien: Resurrection (1997) 3/4 👍👍

[@acrovader]

Siskel is already looking sick...

[@nikosvault]

He was not. He just let go of the comb over.

[@sha11235]

The toupee, you mean.

[@adamparker1388]

He died in 1998. He was already kinda getting sick here but continued to work and not let it get to him besides having terrible headaches constantly. Plus the sicker he got, he seems to have more makeup than before.

[@attackofthecopyrightbots]

its crazy that people actually like this movie

[@kennethzinke9168]

Did Robin Williams eat a green flavored Jell-O gelatin instead of a Chocolate or a Vanilla Jell-O pudding and got a big huge slap in the face from Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert for his role in "Flubber?"

[@jordanthomas4379]

where's the review for alien 3?

[@SPECKREJK]

i think an unfair thing sne do to genre movies is measure them against their own potentials rathher than against other films. fe, dune has a million $s worth of art production, yet it gets a bad review vs about last nite that takes place in a bedroom and bar.

[@christianhafer9819]

Siskel's comment about Ebert using too much brain power on Alien Resurrection was funny. Flubber was okay for the time. I was 12 when it came out, so..

[@cliffordshafran9250]

Both movies are featured on their "Worst of 1997" show.

[@davidcottone2700]

Shame Siskel never got to see Her

[@cyrisssmith8830]

Still better than Alien³

[@sha11235]

It was so amazing how many films Robin Williams did. He would've done many more had the dope decided not to kill himself.

[@sha11235]

@Outgoing entertaining man Anybody who commits suicide has to be a sick person.

[@encycl07pedia-]

He wasn't a dope who killed himself. He was a man who made the decision to die without suffering a degenerative disease rather than live out the last decade or two of his life with Parkinson's. It was a great tragedy that he died, but it was his choice. To call him a dope is incredibly ignorant and disrespectful.

[@drumtum]

May he rest in peace. But quantity is the not the same as quality. He was in many mediocre movies especially in the 90´s.

[@drumtum]

@@encycl07pedia- He was no dope. But it is incredibly selfish to take your own life. People can actually enjoy life with parkinsons these days. There was certainly more to it than that.

[@rhyancoleman6462]

Actually it was Lewy body dementia he was suffering from

[@werdle92]

Old people cant follow "comic book" storylines apparently. Alien Resurrection was meant to be a pulpy action thriller. not a full on horror movie. it succeeded at replicating the feel of a comic book movie. not the best or most popular in series, but it was good at what it tried to do.

[@HkFinn83]

I saw it more as a romantic comedy. It worked on several levels - as a comic book, and a classic romance.

[@movieman104]

not the best alien movie but better than the awful alien 3
