Siskel & Ebert

You can go to www.siskel-ebert.com and listen to Ebert and the guest critic talk about the movie (you need Shockwave though). The guest gave it a thumbs up and a great review, and I 100% agree with his intelligent comments, while Ebert said, "It's just so mean-spirited." The guest made a good point against Ebert, stating "It's all in the context of the farce." My thumb is up for Wesley Morris. �����������~��~����������������������~~ LeEsPaM � Some Guy

"Listen you f*ckers, you screwheads. Here is a man who stood up to the scum, the c*nts, the dogs, the filth, the sh*t. Here is a man who stood up." � Travis Bickle

Looks like SOMEone did'nt like having an episode named after him. Oh, poor fatass widdohw bay-bee.

No need to wonder where Ebert's thumb had been when he was rendering his review.

I listened to the review, and the very reasons that Ebert didn't like the movie were also present in Blazing Saddles, which I personally still find very funny. I think he's wrong for dissing the movie due to the content.

Ebert's been known to knock down a movie based on its political context, not on its merit.

Take, for example, the movie "Don't be a menace to South Central while drinking your juice in the hood." A very funny movie, satirizing such films as "Boyz in the Hood" and "New Jack City."

Well, Ebert comes along and says the movie was very funny, and that he enjoyed it. But after the movie was over he felt ashamed because unlike movies like "Naked Gun" which target movies that deserve parody, "Don't be a menace ..." made fun of movies which didn't deserve it. So, thumbs down.

Then Siskel speaks up and rips into Ebert for such political bias, and rightly gave the movie thumbs up because of its merits. It was indeed a funny movie.

I think if Siskel were alive he would really rip into Ebert on South Park, too.

What really shocked me was that Ebert had the gall to complain about the ethnic humor in the movie (its mean spirit) to a BLACK PERSON WHO LIKED THE MOVIE.

You see, Ebert happens to be married to an African American woman, who's about as big as, if not bigger than, he is. So, I wonder where his bias might come from.

Hell he complained about Austin Powers because of Fat Bastard, too.

So as far as Ebert's reviews are concerned, you better watch for that alterior motive.

I always did think Siskel was the more sensible critic of the two. Such a loss.

Or more frightening still, where their BRAS come from?

Wonder what he thought when "Monty Python's meaning of Life" came along, featuring the "largest man in the world goes to the restaraunt" sketch?
