[@petermoore7796]

two of my all time favorites (stop making sense; and Paris, Texas) came out within a month of each other

[@JoelMMathis]

Thing that's surprised me while revisiting these old Siskel & Ebert shows is how moralistic Siskel, particularly, can be when it comes to slasher films. He loves the sexy stuff tho!

[@Jbaxter85]

Paris, TX is slow but real good movie 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟

[@lw3646]

Yep, it's not one I watch over and over because the story is best the first time not knowing who he is, where his wife is or what he's going to do.

[@lw3646]

I saw Ebert compare it vaguely to The Searchers 1956, both about a long lost man who goes on comes out the desert, embarks on a search for a missing loved one who's now in the hands of some bad men sexually expoliting her, at the end when he's reunited her with her loved ones he sets off on then knowing his job is done.

I like how Roger starts laughing at just the mention of Supergirl

[@reneedennis2011]

I haven't seen any of the movies, except for Falling in Love. It's a good movie.

[@takerdust]

Paris, TX was a really good movie. It did start out slow paced, but it pays off in the end.

[@reneedennis2011]

@@takerdust Thanks 😊!

[@edgardomarrero6860]

I agree with these two on Silent Night, Deadly Night

[@SorendeSelbyBowen]

"I knew the name." But they didn't, neither of them. Talking Heads, not The Talking Heads. At least they liked it, though they admired David Byrne only. Talking Heads were an incredible =band=.

[@ringer4883]

No one says TALKING HEADS anymore than they say EAGLES, neither which have THE in their name.

[@sethrabin833]

So Siskel didn't walk out on I Spit on Your Grave and Silent Night, Deadly Night, but he walked out on Black Sheep with Chris Farley?

[@creekandseminole]

Perhaps at the time watching Chris Farley might have been too much for him. He was battling cancer and it probably affected hie whole movie going experiences then.

Stop Making Sense: 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐ - one of the best music films ever made Falling In Love: 👎⭐⭐1/2 - although the star rating is a marginal thumbs down Paris, Texas: 👍⭐⭐⭐⭐ Silent Night, Deadly Night: 👍⭐⭐⭐ - sure it wasn't a masterpiece, but it was an entertaining horror flick.

SN DN IS SICK

[@toymanreturns546]

It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It had its moments with plot holes and some clichés, but it was a fine slasher film for the holidays.

[@pandaeyes42]

WHERE'S MY BIG SUIT?

[@aldenmartin623]

20:03 My absolute least favorite thing Gene Siskel did was call out the names of the filmmakers like this. Scolding the filmmakers like this, especially in examples like Friday the 13th where he encouraged harassment, is NOT the job of the film critic and not okay.

[@Nathan-gd7xq]

Yeah, there were so many Siskel and Ebert fans who harassed writers and directors of crappy slasher movies back in the eighties. It's got to stop.

[@ringer4883]

@@Nathan-gd7xqhahahahaha

[@jamesmitchell8922]

Don't Tell Mom, the Babysitter's Dead

[@Hellraiser0601]

SN, DN is bad. Even if you only compare it at the level of other slashers. Some interesting kills and the cute actor that plays the deranged Santa 🎅 🔪 are the only redeeming qualities in the picture.

[@brunobarroso9614]

I thought it was boring

[@jamesmitchell8922]

Then don't comment.

[@cl759]

Gaaaaawd, can't hear nuffink, no subs and the picture quality's no good either , ta very much
