I've heard some say Siskel and Ebert were the best when they disagreed, but I've noticed after watching many episodes that when they agree, like is most of these "Memo" episodes, the film analysis and criticism are deeper and more substantial, for those of us who want this, and not just a consumer review. When they disagree, it's more about going after each other than analysis.
No
Siskel & Ebert are the Academy in my opinion….
Before social media, episodes like these were necessary to bring attention to films that might have flown under the radar. Nowadays, nothing flies under the radar. Online publicity takes care of that.
Completely agree with Gene on Gary Sinise in Of Mice and Men!
There's simply no way "Bram Stoker's Dracula" was going to be overlooked in the art direction category, I don't know why Gene thought it needed a boost. But I'd like to think David Paymer and Mary McDonnell partly owe their nominations to the additional push provided by the boys (although Wes Studi was more deserving than Paymer in a film that was far more widely seen and liked). The L.A. establishment was often insecure about the influence of this show, but I know many of them watched weekly and enjoyed it immensely, especially those who were members of the Academy's Acting branch.
I would've suggested a nomination for Dante Spinotti's excellent cinematography for The Last of the Mohicans. I would've also suggested Of Mice and Men for adapted screenplay, Under Siege for Best Editing and Geena Davis for best actress in A League of Their Own.
Last of the Mohicans is one of the best films of the 1990s, great direction, adapted screenplay, great acting especially from supporting cast and amazing production values and historical accuracy.
So many great performances were overlooked in the best supporting actor category that year. Alec Baldwin in Glengary Glen Ross, Jeff Goldblum in Deep Cover, Albert Hall in Malcolm X. Michael Madsen in Reservoir Dogs, and Robin Williams in Aladdin.
I loved how you mentioned Robin Williams for Aladdin, because I personally could've seen him being nominated for Supporting Actor, because even performances in Animated movies aren't really different than real movies, and Robin Williams' character Genie was the glue that held the movie together, if you think about it. But the academy never really bothered with an any of the big categories for animated movies, except for musical score, original song and best sound and sound effects editing. At least until the year prior to Aladdin, when the academy nominated another wonderful disney animated feature Beauty and the Beast, which really did deserve that honor. But Thankfully Aladdin regardless still won some. (Original Song and Original Score). And Robin Williams received an honorary golden globe for his work. I agree with all of the supporting performances too, especially Wes Studi and Albert Hall.
Everyone in Glengarry Glenross!!!
I might have voted for Crying Gm as best picture!
I definitely would have. It's my favorite film of the 90s, it reveals greater depths with each viewing.
I saw the film in a packed theatre. I cannot remember when I saw a movie in a theater with more than 25 other people.
@@flaccidusminimus2170 Too bad that Lyle Lovett's "Stand By Your Man" was ineligible. I never heard another end-credit song get a bigger laugh than that one.
Rosie Perez should've been nominated
I agree she did give a good performance, like Siskel said it's almost similar to her supporting performance in Do The Right Thing. And now that I think about it, when you compare her performance in White Men Can’t Jump with Marisa Tomei's performance in My Cousin Vinny (which she won the Oscar for, well deserved in my opinion) they're kinda similar character wise. Idk, maybe it's just me.
Roger again predicts the future at 10:29. The acadeny will introduce a casting director oscar category from 2025.
I guarantee you this will quickly translate into a "Largest Cast" award.
Bram Stoker’s Dracula was the best film of 1992. I know I’m alone on this. It’s Coppala’s best film since Apocalypse Now.
I mean, nearly all of Coppala's films since Apocalypse Now have sucked, filming it obviously broke him mentally.
Dracula is definitely the best since it is actually pretty good.
Keanu single handedly ruined that movie
I have the 1939 version Of Mice And Men.
How does Howards end end? The final scene?
"I didn't do wrong, did I?"
With Howard showing his end.
No one did wrong.@@flaccidusminimus2170
Bad Lieutenant is good but, unfortunately for me, unintentionally funny. Saw it at a theatre in Seattle when it came out and the gasps from the audience when Harvey's character is making the 2 girls in the car *perform* were uproariously hilarious. I could not stop laughing at the audience itself for what seemed like a full minute. So, in a nutshell, Harvey is amazing in this movie and the Seattle crowd was not.
Most Abel Ferrara movies get bad laughs from me.
I thought it was such a disappointment after the Laws of Gravity . I must say that after Bad Lieutenant and The Piano I felt I had seen enough of Harvey's penis LOL .
@@flaccidusminimus2170 Driller Killer?
People laugh when they're uncomfortable because they don't know what else to do. But there's very INTENTIONAL dark humor interlaced into some of the scenes in the film, so some of the moments *are* funny and intentionally so.
