"A very large lizard causes a great deal of inconvenience while trying to lay some eggs in Madison Square Garden." a superior writer like Roger Ebert can _completely_ rip apart a thing he WANTS to rip apart without ever actually saying anything _negative_ or BAD about it. here he's simply stating the plot, only doing so with very carefully chosen words to make it sound absolutely ridiculous. THAT is hilarious. that's the reason he's the best film critic of all time. he's hilarious, witty, devastating when he wants to be, and even _sly_ when he is sometimes. THAT is good criticism. without ever actually firing a shot or even revealing his opinion yet, he takes the film apart.
Love the ending when we see Gene's empty chair when he asks if anyone has tried to sit in his seat. Nobody did until the next year when he went on leave and they started to have fill in hosts and he died right at the beginning of that.
FYI, the description reads that this is from 1997. All of these movies are from 1998 and Ebert said he came back from the 51st Cannes Festival, which was in 1998.
I couldn't watch this classic show in 97 or 98 bc I get sad seeing siskel deteriorate knowing he will die soon. But I decided to bc I love these guys & I liked a lot of movies from 97 & 98. These two launched literally a million review shows on the internet. True originals. The only thing I remember about bulworth was the hit song " ghetto superstar" that was played over & over but in these times of politics in our faces & the divide of them sounds like a good movie to watch. I remember people loving hunter s Thompson for gonzo journalism & Godzilla was a big bomb. In 97 I only went to see movies like jerry Maguire, scream 2 , titanic. A lot of great movies came out in the 90s the last decade of originality.
That's a lot of fish! Mayor Ebert and his sidekick Gene was Roland Emmerlich's slam at S & E for giving thumbs down to all his movies. He should've went all the way by having the monster squish them.
I remember seeing it at the movies when it came out in ‘97, and hated it. I remember I couldn’t make out the dialogue and the sound was terrible. After watching it at home, it’s one of my all-time favorites.
How did he not like fear and loathing the first time I watched it I must admit I didn't like it because I didn't get it as I grew older did drugs I got it great film
it's really really interesting that they gave any credence to the fat, disgusting "Mayor Ebert" character and his nerdy, ridiculous "Gene" bootlick. it was an embarrassing nincompoop trying to take cheap, lazy potshots at two giants of film history. Roland Emmerich will always be (in)famous for making _Independence Day,_ though he'll never be close to the same immense standard of respect these two guys enjoy. i really liked how self-aware they were, though - they even _wanted_ to see their flimsy filmic doppelgangers get stepped on, because they assumed that's what audiences _wanted_ to see. which was probably, at that time, very accurate.
It's funny when Siskel asks when will a real Bulworth ever appear on the American political scene, and if he did the media would ignore him. Well, it took until 2016 when Vermont Senator and presidential candidate, Bernie Sanders, exploded onto the political scene, and true to Gene Siskel's word, the media tried to ignore him.
Bulworth is an extension of my political leanings to this day. In fact, when I become President, I will institute a program of procreative racial deconstruction.
Nah, as someone who proudly voted for Trump, he is just another globalist stooge (controlled opposition). He gave in on Corona, going against small businesses. He went against the people’s right to bear arms with the bump stock ban. The wall is still not built. The anchor babies are still here.
@@caza728 One man only has so much power, even in that position. For what he accomplished I respect him. Not all he wanted or I wanted perhaps, but someone deserving of the same respect as any POTUS.
@@Contemplativeman101 The bump stock ban and the ban on the honey badger gun apparatus (which came about after my initial comment) came directly from Trump’s executive branch not Congress. He made felons out of anyone who owns either of these two gun apparatuses. The owners weren’t grandfathered in. Trump didn’t even get anything in exchange for them. Any president who screws over the Bill of Rights can go to hell, regardless of political party.
@@caza728 That is one interpretation of what happened but not the full truth. Oh I agree it's a ridiculous ban but considering there was a strawman argument being set up to remove all similar weapons including semi-automatic weapons this became a necessary evil.

When did Trump rail against insurance companies and say that the only way forward is through socialized medicine and socialism? When did Trump say that BOTH Republicans and Democrats hate poor black people, and only the ones who contribute to society are worthy people? When did Trump talk about the impending apocalypse from global warming that the oil companies have brainwashed the population into believing it's a hoax? Trump and Bulworth couldn't be more different. However, Bernie and Bulworth are almost identical.
@@Biggiiful Trump is the antithesis of Bulworth. Literally could not be more different. The entire thesis of Bulworth is the need for socialized medicine and ending racist policing.
Trump never railed against money in politics...he embraced it. Trump never used the bully-pulpit to honestly level with Americans...he used it to stir up hatred and anger. Trump was not fed up with the way the democratic process disenfranchised common citizens...he only hated the fact that common citizens could use the process to put limits on the rich and powerful. Trump did not use the presidency and his electoral periods to usher in an era of honesty and ethics... instead he turned over the government to the most corrupt, self interested, and dishonest administration America has ever seen.

They won't. But go to siskelandebert.org to see so many episodes like this.
To have them in one place would be cool, but remember you can't restore this.
It would be their biggest box set to date. I want it.

I like that they had different pictures for Siskel
there has never, NEVER been three words more likely to cause boyfriends to furiously vomit in despair than _The Horse Whisperer._

As it is it's kind of petty.
Roland Emmerich should've probably hung it up after "Moon 44". It was all downhill from there.
"will there ever be a candidate like [Bull worth]?" A person who says what is on his mind, no matter how incendiary? Anyone come to mind?

Homeboy was sure dedicated to his craft. Calling from his hospital bed to talk about bad movies! All business!
16:27. I wasn’t paying attention and the way roger pronounced it I thought he was talking about cardi b.
1998, whoever put this up. Get the years correct.
How did he not like fear and loathing the first time I watched it I must admit I didn't like it because I didn't get it as I grew older did drugs I got it great film
This is a good movie. Watching it was like being on an acid trip (not that I would know).
It's a movie that was never meant to be liked by critics, but by the audience it was looking for.
19:00 -- sweet crispers ;)
1998

meh whatevs
these were 1998 not 1997
Gene is on the telephone?
And of course Godzilla film had a mayor named Ebert and his top advisor named Gene.
It was a homage of them, or maybe
They hated his movies.

I agree with their reviews of Terry Gilliam films, he's overrated.
I've walked out of two movies before, and this was the first. The other one was boring, but this one was both bad and boring.
I always felt that Ebert was the better critic. It seemed, sometimes, that Gene Siskel didn’t really care for movies based on some of his reviews.
"Will there ever be a politician like bulworth? I dont think so"-ebert. Bro how wrong u are: TRUMP

Ebert's Bullworth comment about how a brazenly outspoken presidential candidate "wouldn't even be allowed on television" did not age well.
A politician who speaks his mind? Donald Trump.
so siskel was dying and he still had to watch that awful godzilla movie and they made fun of him? yikes.
This god sucks! However Bulworth is excellent!
Yes, eventually Trump did get elected
Bulworth predicted Donald Trump.
