Siskel & Ebert (1996): Bogus, Bulletproof, The Trigger Effect, The Island of Dr. Moreau 

what a burn

ebert W right here. i will also say siskel does that alot.

I honestly think Gene should have been a screenwriter instead of a critic.

I agree

Well, movies are emotions

I am typically on Roger's side and I think your emotions should largely dictate your reaction to a film.

Roger is a better judge of film because he doesn't judge the film, he judges how the film made him feel, then he retro-actively analyzes what about the film may have caused the reaction. This is more objective because it allows Roger to interpret art *prima facie*. The only problem with Roger is he's a coal burner; so any movie that's about black people he automatically likes, unless the black people are portrayed as just dumb and/or violent. But it's easy to simply be aware of his biases and discard, or deduct, praise from those films. Gene has an ulterior motive (that applies to cinema in totality) which is to elevate film as an artistic form. This undermines Gene's ability to judge film because he wants the film to do and be certain things. When a film is not the specific things he wants it to be, it effects him negatively because it reminds him he's not in control, which he then resents.

This is a perfect thread of people’s opinions on what makes a movie good or not :)

Nah, they just got a little bit worked up. There is some good footage of them having real fights/arguments in the 70s and early 80s. By the 90s, they were just like the 2 old muppets like Statler and Waldorf.

they gave it marginal two thumbs down, so I will say No unless you are super bored.

@@Shorty_Lickens You really shouldn't be a slave to the Siskel and Ebert ratings. They gave two thumbs down to both Home Alone 1 and 2, and those are far more endlessly watchable than a lot of the oscar bait films they typically gave thumbs up to.

@@nopemcgee2831 Well at no point did I or anyone else ever say I was a slave to their ratings but you go ahead and spend the rest of your life assuming instead of thinking. It seems to be working so well for you.

@@Shorty_Lickens You are a slave to the ratings through your words and actions my dude. You didn't personally see the movie yet are going entirely off their ratings just so you can leave a comment on youtube. People should watch movies with concepts they find interesting and judge them afterwards if it's up to THEIR personal standards.

@@Shorty_Lickensdid you fall asleep or not pay attention? Gene gave it a thumbs up and found it very effective - it was Roger who was let down.

why??

???

Because they seem actually angry with each other. Outside of the usual movie review arguments. They’re legit mad.
