Jay — Thanks for the response. Good idea, I’ll start checking them online every week.
Their Jaws the Revenge and Showgirls reviews are funny as they try to figure out what everyone was thinkig with those movies. And I enjoy the end of Ebert & Roeper’s War of the Worlds review when they argue about the merits of giving movies thumbs up/down.
Jakeem — Barbara Hershey is the actress Sisked told Ebert to ask out instead of giving her movie a good review. I think the movie was “The Entity” (I’m sure it was a horror movie) which came out in ’81 and won’t be included in the archive because it dates back to their PBS days.
Some of their shows were lost forever.
So, you should check with them to see if they have The Hours and the Times or they need to borrow your tape of it.
Yes, I was addicted to the show when I was little too. My friend and I used to act like we were Siskel & Ebert and debate movies. It was great!
I can’t wait to watch all the old clips!!!!
Also, like Babette, I too talked at hyperspeed when I met Ebert at Sundance.
And the funniest thing about Sundance is that there are all these stars and indie filmmakers around but only when Ebert walked down the street to the bus stop did EVERYONE stop dead in their tracks and whisper “Hey, there is Ebert”. When he is around, EVERYONE is starstruck.
Uh oh, there goes all my free time.
All I have to say about these two is they loved “Forrest Gumop”
Which has to be the worse film, othe than “Dancing with Wolves” to win the Oscar.
Andy, it was definitely Kathryn Harrold. I’ve recently found out it was for a 1982 movie called “The Sender.”
Perhaps they squabbled over Barbara Hershey, too!
Ahhh, some good S&E lovin’! Thanks for the tip, and I am also enjoying all the comments here.
What I liked best about these guys were the various special programs they did: Memo To The Academy was always my favorite. Also their Best and Worst of the year, and If We Picked the Oscars. And the priceless specials on some up-and-coming stars, like Rene Zellweger, Leonardo Decaprio, and Johnny Depp. Engaging and eye-opening stuff.
I remember them reviewing a movie long ago, I don’t remember which unfortunately, but Roger was closing his review with the remarks,”And this time Gene, I KNOW what I’m talking about.” To which Gene angrily replied, “Well in that case, Roger, you can do the show yourself! We’ll be right back with a brand new show called “Ebert”! You couldn’t ask for any better.
