@farrellmcnulty909 They were the best movie reviewers ever. I didn't always agree, but that's because I sometimes love horrible movies. I grew up in the 1960s so I saw, and liked, a lot of really bad movies
@@farrellmcnulty909I would highly recommend Margaret and David. They were the Australian Siskel and Ebert. They're retired now but went right into the early 2010's.
Right!?!? I'm more of a gamer and happy to see gaming has reached heights to be considered art by many. Much in the same way as film has always been. But yes - these days it's difficult to stumble upon a truly great movie. Television-like series made popular by modern streaming services are oftentimes better than AAA films.
I like how they broke a film down into specifics; like Ebert noting the humor in the Woody Allen punching the Mime moment being diminished because it was shot from a wide overhead angle.
"You took kids to see this?, after they seen this, you should have taken them to see "The Good Son" to cheer them up" "Wasn't that about a killer?" LMAO
Scenes From A Mall will give anyone who works retail or in the service industry cold chills because there's nothing more uncomfortable and awkward than trying to serve customers who are making a scene because they're in the middle of a public domestic dispute
00:00 Stop or My Mom Will Shoot 02:05 Scenes From a Mall 06:10 Ghost Dad 09:40 Like Father, Like Son 12:20 Trading Mom 15:15 That Darn Cat 17:53 Clifford 21:20 Coneheads 24:40 Funny About Love (Proud to say I've seen none of these)
Coneheads was fantastic it was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen the coneheads of funny you’re not you’re an idiot you need a pipe to smoke and put some hashish in The bowl maybe you’ll see this picture in a different light if not I suggest hanging yourself and your partner you too stuck up nerds would be too good night label for you go into the garage close the gate put some tape on the door start the car and breathe deep lie back and keep breathing deep both of you
I saw Trading Mom. It's pretty dreary. It sounds more like the plot of a horror movie than a comedy: The kids wish their real-life mother out of existence and unless they find a suitable substitute they'll turn into orphans or wards of the state. The plus side is there is a very brief 2-minute scene featuring Sissy Spacek's daughter Schuyler Fisk when she was young.
"Stop or My Mom Will Shoot." Stallone supposedly only did the film because he heard that Aaah-nowld really wanted to do it, so Stallone wanted to beat him off at the pass. And spirits did he regret THAT decision.... 🤣🤣
There were two others, because Hollywood likes to do things in threes. One was Vice Versa, with Judge Reinhold, which was actually funny. Another was 18 Again, with George Burns and Fred Savage, which I never saw.
@@shrapnel77 I felt the opposite - I thought it was crap when I was younger. I saw a clip of it recently and thought it was very funny, BECAUSE the characters were so stupid. and poor Oliver was going out of his mind every week.
People magazine just interviewed Jane Curtain, and she said when she recently watched early SNL episodes, she was surprised at how little she laughed. She said a lot of the jokes were part of the times, so they didn't feel the same much later.
Scenes from a Mall... by then a shopping mall had been degraded into a scene only for banality for its mindless consumerism. The only comedic means of dealing with banality is satire.
Again, I never saw it. But then again, my taste tends to run to John Ford, Akira Kurosawa, Sergio Leone, Sam Peckinpah, Francis Ford Coppola, and other action directors.
Hmm.......................try Bananas, Sleeper, Manhattan Murder Mystery and Small Time Crooks. All hilarious in my book! (Understand that he's not for everyone though---he's almost an acquired taste).
Both Ghost Dad and Trading Mom contain one of the most common tropes in comedies of the 80s and 90s--the career-obsessed parent who neglects their kid(s). In that era, the Baby Boomers had finally stopped being hedonistic disco-crawlers and settled down to have careers and raise families, resulting in a generation of latch-key kids who would come home from school every day to an empty house. Consequently, Boomers started to become concerned that they weren't spending enough time with their kids, and since everything in America for the past half-century simply MUST revolve around the Boomers, Hollywood movies reflected that concern.
I was a latchkey kid and so was my sister, but my mom was not "career obsessed." She needed to work to support my sister and I. We were trying to just get by when our parents divorced. This was a more common scenario for latchkey kids.
The correct word, used in all English-speaking countries outside North America, is "bum"; "butt", short for buttocks, is only heard in the USA and Canada.
What's your point? That Anglophones in North America use a shortened form of buttocks to mean bum? That languages change over time and distance? The horror! Here's a tip - butt out with your "correct" word.
You remember that Seinfeld episode in which George wore that horrible toupee until Elaine tore it off and tossed it out the window. Some homeless guy ended up with it.
I'm surprised that their review for "The Opposite Sex and How to Live with Them" isn't in this video considering that A. They both despised it, and B. It's a torturous, 87-minute brainless and laughless slog that wouldn't even be good as a direct-to-video movie.
@@nicktaylor2657 Probably an ill-fated spoof of Bergman's "Scenes From a Marriage" - Woody, a big Bergman buff, was in this movie, so maybe his casting was a part of it.
Yeah unfortunately they completely missed this one, but its not their fault. Clifford is a gem that requires a very specific sense of humor - but for those people it's absolutely hysterical. One of my all time favs
Dudley Moore did a great job acting as a teenager and I did laugh a lot at the movie's jokes. i was stoned off my ass at the time, but still funny none the less.
16:43 The problem is that cats cannot be “trained” the same way that a dog or a monkey can. You can get them to look at a laser pointer dot or you can, as Roger suggested, open some food, but you cannot fine-tune their behaviour. To get such an effect, you would need computer animation.
