    I miss the 90s. I miss going to Blockbusters to rent videos. I miss MTV, CDs, cassettes, and the radio. I miss good TV and everyone watching the same shows. I know I sound like an old man. But, everything was better back in the 80s/90s.

    I love when Siskel or Ebert loves a movie so much they praise it to high heaven in the summary.

    Who could forget the Great Redenbacher Flood of 1994? 21 dead and 150 injured. Bodies found with popcorn jammed into every orifice. Tragic! This is why man was not meant to tamper with the forces of nature and create transdimensional popcorn bags.

    I love how thay ridicule the egg race in Rapa Nui not knowing it was actually a real thing. No, it does not show how Siskel and Ebert are stupid or something; it shows how traditions from other cultures can appear utterly ridiculous to us. And it's a good thing!

    Just a heads up, the video description says Siskel and Ebert gave two thumbs down to Ed Wood but that's definitely backwards.

    so... clearly they werent paying attention at all during The River Wild
    Siskel claims Meryl Streep's character is taking her family down a treacherous river she ran as a kid... even though the clip they show illustrates how the treacherous part was "Below Bridal Creek" where her family trip was supposed to END. The part of the river the public can access is perfectly safe (provided you can raft and have a license to do so).
    Secondly, Siskel claims Strathern's character is hanging on a ledge hoping that "she, and only she will see him"... uhm... no he wasn't. He was trying not to be seen AT ALL, but he had to get to where he COULD hide, as everything behind him was in plain view of the river. He was only hanging because he didn't make it far enough, and hung on as still as he could out of desperation until they passed, hoping they wouldn't look up. Hanging on the ledge was not his plan. The "hoping she and only she will see him" wasn't until the smoke signal moment, which was set up earlier in the film by reference. But clearly they hated that too.
    There is nothing unplausible in reality about the film, beyond their own apparent desire to hate it all the way through. Is it great? No, I'd just call it somewhere between "good" and "decent", but hardly as bad as they want you to think it is.

    Johnny Depp’s acting as Ed Wood reminds me of Willy Wonka in Tim Burton’s version of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. In fact, I believe that was the same voice Depp used for Willy Wonka in chocolate factory.

    • @Dr170
      @Dr170 Год назад

      Oh yes, his love of cross-dressing pales by comparison... and it only got worse as his career prospects declined. One suspects that part was left out of the movie as part of Burton's vision to make the movie Wood might have made about himself, as an extrapolation of the rather self-aggrandizing biographical elements of Glen or Glenda. Granted, he ultimately doesn't seem like a bad sort and the verisimilitude of Depp's performance seems definitely ballpark.
