Roger doesn’t want the Crying Game spoiled. I think the category “Best Supporting Actor” beat him to it ;)

@flaccidusminimus2170 2 года назад

Siskel's alleged "spoiler" to a mass audience was considered a pretty big deal at the time and received a fair amount of pushback and press coverage. Yet no one pointed out that Roger did pretty much the exact same thing a month earlier on their show.

@cherylhulting1301 Год назад

The thing is, Gene made a legitimate and difficult point. It would be hard to explain why he was so enthusiastic about Davidson's performance (and rightly so, it was a good one) without revealing the secret of the character. The language of discussion would have had to be so cryptic as to make his feedback much less meaningful. The only other way he could have done it was to give the name of his choice, say a couple of general things about competency of performance and leave it at that. Gene couldn't tell the studio audience not to hear him.but he did what he could for the TV viewers. It's also legitimate to say that the nomination more or less gave the secret away.

@paramitch 5 месяцев назад

I really love Siskel's love for "The Crying Game" here, as well as Roger's passion for "Malcolm X."

@randyc8771 7 месяцев назад

Is 8:30 the first known *SPOILER ALERT* in video communications history? I thought Gene was right to honor Jaye Davidson's performance in The Crying Game, and he made some good points in their brief philosophical debate about spoilers and criticism. Very good segment.

On the flip side, had Al Pacino lost, he would’ve preceded Peter O’Toole to receive the most acting nominations without ever winning. He was double nominated that night (Best Actor for SCENT OF A WOMAN and Best Supporting Actor for GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS), his 7th and 8th nominations respectively, and lost Supporting to Gene Hackman for UNFORGIVEN.

@@SorendeSelbyBowen There is usually so much overlap between Best Picture and Best Director winners that, to them, it may not have been worth distinguishing. The latter ruins the suspense of the bigger prize. Don't forget, they're playing to an audience. TV and an auditorium crowd. The producers likely chose the categories that the audience would find most interesting.

@flaccidusminimus2170 3 года назад

I think Roger's original TV review was a mild Thumbs Up. He watched it a second time, and his print review was 4/4 stars. He then included it on his top 10 list for the year and admitted that he just wasn't paying attention the firs time.

@jedijones 3 года назад

@@flaccidusminimus2170 I think in an Answer Man years later, he said he initially gave it a negative review. It's unclear where he did that, since he gave it thumbs up and no print review has ever surfaced with a negative rating. It's possible he taped a "local news" review for it, in which he announces star ratings, and gave it less than 3 stars there, but that's pure speculation. He may have considered his mild thumbs up a "negative" compared to what the movie deserved. Or he may have misremembered in later years how bad his review was.

@Goldenwhatever 2 года назад

Ebert says on Letterman that he gave it a thumbs down. Later, on their top ten for the respective year, he claims his wedding was on the week of his first screening for the film and his mind was elsewhere.

@erakfishfishfish 3 года назад

It’s interesting hearing how Siskel describes Jaye Davidson’s character, first by using (the unfortunately) of-its-time terms like “transvestite” and “guy posing as a girl”, but also being a little ahead of his time by using the character’s preferred pronouns. (This is not a knock on Siskel by any measure-just more of a display on how times have changed in the last 28 years.)

@JRRLewis Год назад

Are you talking about Howards End? I thought Hopkins was closer to the book Henry Wilcox than Matthew McFadyen was in the BBC miniseries version. I thought the way the BBC version dealt with Henry Wilcox was one of the great failings of the miniseries. They made him far too attractive and appealing and likeable--completely wrong for the character. At any rate, I did enjoy the miniseries but it was more like a good quality soap opera than the masterpiece that was the Merchant-Ivory movie.
