“No good film is too long. No bad film is short enough.”
Roger was right about that.
Excellent quote. Sums up the entire moviegoing experience in a single statement. Miss Siskel and Ebert, they'd be having field days with some of what Hollywood's coming out with today.
42:30
As a spanish 29 year old moviegoer who only knows about USA old culture by movies and television, discovering the TV show of Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert was something fascinating. And even more watching them of a late night show like this, just saying jokes and have fun!
You get two thumbs up for compiling these Siskel and Ebert videos.
But two thumbs down 👎👎 for putting his watermark on video he clearly doesn't own.
@@booknooky9436 qaAqQAQQA
For sure! Lots of catholics killed,or what did they say?
Appears that Siskel and Ebert were Dave's favourite guests by the looks of it. They certainly have great chemistry together.
These guys are the most 80s thing to come out of the 80s and I absolutely can't get enough of them.
They started their careers in the 60s and started broadcasting in the 70s. Sadly, most of their 70s broadcasts were erased so we'll never see their original review of STAR WARS which was reportedly negative. Then a few months later they both changed their reviews to positive. Perhaps someday a VHS or Betamax taping of the show may appear.
It still hurts that these two are gone. These segments were so wholesome and hilarious. And I loved reading Ebert's reviews every week. It'll never be the same to not have them.
I absolutely adore Siskel & Ebert, RIP to the both of them
"Gene's criticism of Free Willy is that you can't see the whale's eyes at the same time."
Classic! I remember watching this episode and laughing out loud when Roger said that.
Working my way through all 6 parts and really really enjoying it, might be my favorite collection. Thanks Don isn't enough, but thanks!
I love how Siskel around 47:00 is so vibrant and then when he realizes the interviewer isn't listening very carefully, he becomes colder. Luckily Letterman can keep up with him. These are a joy I've watched all of them so far; this week's been really rough for me and these are making me feel better.
I so enjoy seeing this old stuff, because I missed so much of it at the time, working midnights... and Paul so clever in his sly song intros - like Under My Thumb
No matter how many years go by Siskel and Ebert are still and always be my favorite film critic
goats.
11:17 "Shot and a GOAL!" Thanks for your hard work, Don!
Love that moment lol. "The balcony is closed!"
Siskel on Eberts Wedding Reception: Caterers are calling it Operation Dessert Storm
"Did the woman in your life pick Shining Through?" Epic
That last one when they are arguing like an old couple is wonderful. Roger is so smart.
4:31 The fact that Roger knew the exact length of STOP! OR MY MOM WILL SHOOT is actually crazy
LMAO! Ikr? I checked it, too. He was dead-on-balls accurate. Ha!
It's actually not uncommon for professional film critics to memorize the exact runtime of a film since they frequently quote it in their reviews and usually mention it as part of their discussions.
“My Mom Will Shot” was a terrible movie.
"You identified with Willy, I wonder why!!!" Savage Siskel!!
True, but Ebert had great line before. They are so perfect for each other.
hahaha WOW that was savage and Siskel really went there a lot in later yrs, its a shame they had to make a lot of things personal
35:02 Under My Thumb plays as they come out... Nice touch, Paul!
I also enjoyed the band playing them on to “The Cisco (Siskel) Kid” at the beginning of the video
40:22 Wow, Siskel could drum!!
That’s the incomparable Kenny Aronoff, most famous for playing with John Mellencamp and Smashing Pumpkins.
holy crap you made me laugh out loud........hahahahahahaah
Drew Taylor yep, Kenny has probably the 2nd most famous drum fill in 80’s pop, in “Jack & Diane”.
There will never be another siskel and ebert ,Rip
Operation Dessert Storm is a fantastic line
The care and context you have provided in curating this is remarkable. A less judicious person would leave out the Billy Crystal part, for example, but it adds so much. Awesome stuff. Thank you.
Just stumbled on this randomly.
I always watched Letterman as well as Siskel and Ebert in pre VCR days when you had to watch live .
I'll be watching all these.
Thanks thanks thanks
49:20 maybe the most epic thing I've seen in this life or the next.
R.I.P. Gene & Roger
You are missed
Those guys led a good life, happy I was able to watch them growing up .
14:46 "You guys - my goodness, what are you, driving Oprah?"
Cut to: Siskel losing it
"Every potato chip is made fresh somewhere, but that doesn't mean you got that bag that day!" LMAO :)
Dave was such a crazy person during this time. Best late night host ever, top 10 best comedians of the last 30 years...
Calling Ebert fat was a cheap shot/low blow. That's school yard bully "humor".
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH Oh GET OVER IT, you pathetic fucking SJW PC triggered-ass snowflake!! I've been fat most of my life and I wasn't offended in the least!! If it bothered him, he should have lost weight. Period, end of. The humor police can blow me.
Master Elm Street Roger did laugh at some of the fat jokes in these videos though, so he clearly had a sense of humour about it.
It’s agreed upon before the show what jokes will be said, so clearly Roger was okay with the fat jokes and Gene was fine was the bald jokes.
All in good fun.
I'm practically in tears listening to Siskel and Ebert argue.
1:02:05 hilarious repartee--they each get a great shot in :-D
Look at their bevisbutthead impression dead on cool
The roles they rotate when they are in the first seat or second becomes obvious when you see them back to back. The second seat seemed like more fun.
Sat in on many life drawing classes for animation - 12:00 had me dying! Ebert kept that Exorcist head turn thing well hidden!
Don! you're the best!
Gene's joke at the end about Roger identifying with the whale. LOL :)
These guys were truly entertaining.
Gene always defends Roger when if anybody is rude to him
Yes, Siskel & Ebert fought like cats and dogs, but when Howard Stern
went after them they had each other’s backs and defended each other against Stern.
I always watch their show on Sunday
man i fucking love watching Gene & Robert get along fucking awesome
Can’t believe that out of thousands of comments not one person mentioned the great Pat Metheny is sitting in with the band.
49:23 Siskel and Ebert as Beavis and Butthead
LOL I was looking for that clip :)
God Gene Siskel was so funny.
And Ebert was great at one liners
Okay, now I'd like to see a megamix of the celebrity audience moments.
This is some underated banter
I am having a blast watching these..
The sequence beginning at 38:11 is so great:
One False Move review (which I’m gonna have to check out)
Letterman Fat joke
Ebert announcement that he’s lost weight at a clinic
Siskel chomping at the bit to tell his joke, but his joke falls flat and Ebert is delighted
John Popper on harmonica
Dave asks Popper if he would like to join Ebert at the weight loss clinic
Popper states that he’s already eaten
As good as their syndicated show was, these Letterman appearances really let Siskel and Ebert shine. Just the right mix of analysis and yucks.
I love these compilations and I love Siskel and Ebert. Thank you! One thing that was annoying were the continuing fat jokes about Ebert. Siskel and Letterman were booed multiple times for making those jokes and yet continued to make them. They were witty enough to think of other jokes; they were just going for cheap shots.
Funny thing was that Siskel was Eberts best man. There’s photos of them at their wedding.
“You know what it is Roger, it’s Dino fever.”
Harpo's horn!! Another big mystery is being unraveled. Now we have to find out what Dave did with it since then.
I was floored when he said that! WOW.
I wonder if those two old muppets that were up in the balcony criticizing everyone were based on these two 🤔
I like em best when Roger is sitting on the inside.
I like how they always switch who sits next to Dave
That Beavis and Buthead thing came out of nowhere....😂
The catering is calling it Operation Dessert Storm
Gold!!!!!
Funny how no one expected Silence of the Lambs to win Best Picture that year, and Roger felt it was the 'dark horse'. They were saying BP would likely go to JFK, Beauty and the Beast or Bugsy. Silence of the Lambs would end up sweeping the Academys that year. Ebert and many others were probably very surprised.
top form!
Don, do you have a Patreon?
I don’t.
39:43 WHOOOOOOOA
They should not have dissed Jurassic Park as having no good characters. Goldblum was excellent in the movie, playing a great character!
who is the guest at the very end? with S and E in audience?
Mary-Chapin Carpenter. And I got the date wrong there. It was October 8, 1993, not October 6.
Once Upon A Time In America&One False Move:)
Yep, own both dvd's and rewatch them periodically.
I rewatch them alphabetically
Don, capturing the bits and bobs outside the S & E 'canon'. I didn't much like the fat joke by DL about Ebert. Though Ebert's size did strike me from part 1. Contradictions and indictments.
Best banter, I think? And that's very important to us males. All we did in the last year of high school and all we wished for for our future -- sorry, women.
Though Dave is exceedingly excitable in this 90s phase. Like he's been freed and is enjoying it.
Ebert didn't waste a second on self-pity at the weight jokes. He could take it and he could dish it out. Both of those men could. I didn't always agree with their opinions, but often they defended their views well. Only once that I know of did Gene ever cross a line (two lines, in fact) in a single review, that of 'Friday The 13th.' He spoiled the killer's identity and put Betsy Palmer's home address in his review so that fans to write to her their disdain with her film choice. Not cool, man. Not cool.
I love Gene but he was a dick. He changed a bit after he was diagnosed...but it was kind of too late (although it's never too late to be a better person)... Don't forget he was in HELL in south park lol They BOTH did things that affected people - MANY people. Fans loved them but they weren't well liked in the film industry at ALL. They downplayed it alot but they had HUGE pull in crushing a movie. Gene used his brain and roger his mouth...look what happened... Karma? Who knows.
Beware if you're overweight and sensitive. Gene's at his most vicious with the fat jokes!
And HILARIOUS!! And this is coming from a fat guy!
My memory is going. I don't recognize the woman in that last clip.
Mary Chaplin Carpenter.
@@dongiller I just saw her a few years ago, too. Sheesh.
Operation dessert storm haha!
The great Kenny Aaronoff is hitting the skins at about 40:23
What do they say at @11:17 ?
Did the woman in your life pick “Shining Through?”
After The Late Shift movie came out, Dave showed clips from the movie for a few nights and gave his reactions. For example, one night he showed the scene where the actor playing him (John Michael Higgins?), and he had something funny to say about that scene. If you have those clips, do you think you could upload them, or maybe put them into a compilation? Kind of like a "Dave Reacts to The Late Shift"
In time.
31:04 “i think you don’t know who I am, señor.” The kingpin
19:10 Fred MacMurray and LEE J. COBB??
They really used to make fun of Roger, and he was never that fat, really, hehe.
He was super fat. You can see the change from show to show to show.
Silence of the lambs is one of the guest films-
Omar Gonzalez guest films?
. . . how come Dave's so set on Barbara Streisand? he's mentioned her in, like, three or four of those interviews.
Bijinius Cross I know, right? It’s gets repetitive.
You know how he gets focused on things. During this whole time, much was made of the fact that Streisand was overlooked for a Best Director nomination. For Yentl, for Prince of Tides, for Nuts - or anything else. Add to this his disdain for pretentious celebrities. When he sees S&E, especially during awards season, I think that's the first thing that pops into his head.
My guess is he always wanted her on his show & she always turned him down.
Who is the girl singer at the end 1:04:14
Mary Chapin Carpenter.
@@dongiller she's usually down at the twist and shout 😋😛🤪😆
Great compilation. I always liked Siskel and Ebert, with their intelligent, thoughtful, informative and entertaining film reviews. I watched them for many years. But in the last segment of this compilation, I lost a lot of respect for Siskel. Roger Ebert said he lost 18 pounds, and good for him! The audience cheered him, as did I, so Siskel’s fat joke a few seconds earlier didn’t quite work. The audience loved Ebert’s ‘bald’ comeback. Then Siskel name-drops about a party at Halston’s apartment with Liza Minnelli, and he SPECIFICALLY says Ebert hadn’t been invited. Ebert gets a great audience reaction when he sarcastically mentions Siskel’s ‘unspoken modesty’ after Siskel’s party story. But worst of all was at the very end of this compilation, when Siskel compares Ebert to the whale in ‘Free Willy.’ That was unnecessarily cruel, and Letterman’s audience let him know it. Good for them. Watching their movie review shows over so many years, Siskel always came across to me as kind of smug, pompous, and a little too impressed with himself (you’re just a film critic!), whereas Ebert to me was more of an Everyman who didn’t take himself as seriously as Siskel did, and cared about movies a LOT MORE than Siskel did. Look at how many books Ebert wrote about movies! Ebert also always came across to me as much more likable than Siskel. I always enjoyed them ribbing each other, but the fat jokes, ESPECIALLY that Free Willy one, were sometimes nasty. One of the worst (and meanest) things you can poke fun at someone for is their appearance. That has nothing to do with any issue you’re discussing, that’s just mean, childish name-calling. I’d much rather go to the movies with Ebert than with Siskel. Anybody out there agree?
That's a very well put comment
Where does the love and admiration for people who criticize and judge other people's work for a living come from? 🤔
Letterman was right about the Martians.
Last segment was Oct 8, 1993, not Oct 6. That was Mary Chapin Carpenter. Thanks again for these compilations. They are gold. I wish Gene hadn't been so rude to Roger though. Enough with the fat jokes. That shit wouldn't fly today.
Thanks; typo on my end. I had it right n the description but blew it in the video.
Unfortunately, cuz now everyone is a pathetic weak-ass triggered SJW/PC snowflake bitch like you!! I've been fat most of my life, and wasn't offended in the slightest. Get a sense of humor, you big baby!
You should start a twitter campaign to cancel him.
The ribbing was part of the act
7:12 - Letterman distilling what he got paid to do every night.
Interesting how Ebert's humor is so much more intellectual then Siskel's cheap digs.
Agreed. Siskel goes to the fat jokes when Ebert out does him
I dunno haha I think it's sort of become a bit between the two and letterman as I feel you can see from their respective reactions. They both have fun sniping each other and I personally feel it's hard to say who's the brightest since they both argue with reasonable viewpoints and are very quick-witted, sparring with the best talk show host of all time. Love the bit with Siskel and Springsteen, must have been a dream come true for him haha
Maybe that’s why they had such broad appeal- that contrast is what makes them fun to listen to.
Like pointing to his head and saying bald. So intellectual.
