- In this episode, Siskel and Ebert review: Private Parts, Booty Call, Hard Eight, Donnie Brasco and Smilla’s Sense of Snow.
Let's be honest, we are all watching this just to see what Siskel and Ebert had to say about Booty Call.
I wanted to watch Siskel squirm and complain like a little bitch and Ebert pretend he's not all into it while trying to one up him on his criticism of the morals or the quality of the film or something "I agree, but it's even worse than what you are saying...but the sex didn't bother me," yes.
Yes that is exactly what I'm here for.
I'm at the beginning of the video but I'm pretty sure I know how this picture will turn out. Heh.
Edit: Holy shit! I stand corrected. A twist ending. But I was kinda expecting that possiblity too, I should have added "That's what they would have done in the early eighties definitely, but maybe not in such a later episode as it was a different time." And yup, they were into it, holy moly. But this time period, especially right at the height of Howard Stern's popularity...things really relaxed there for a minute and of course the show reflected that. They always seemed to me to be consciously or unconsciously (definitely consciously) attempting to voice their idea of the two "sides" of the country/the two major personality type columns of America. At that time especially this would also cover generation demographics with Gene being representative of grandma and grandkids and Ebert more reflecting the attitudes more common to baby boomer parents, single men, college kids and teens. If they didn't do it on purpose, they or someone else certainly saw it and that's how and why it went national, that much is obvious. But, at that moment in history all those groups would be more open to bawdy humor except in the more extreme circumstances such as the religious or college professors etc. Or just smart people with taste, but I'm not talking about that aspect, ha.
Isn't it kind of the loveliest thing? They don't have any ego. They laughed. They had fun. They made me consider a watch
Booty Call 2: Rebooty!
Um, no, that's the movie I'm LEAST interested in, to be honest! Nothing against "Booty Call", but I was marveling at how 'Hard Eight", "Private Parts" and "Donnie Brasco" all came out around the same time. Now it's difficult to find a single worthy movie to watch in a year, much less three in a week.
Ha ha ,never heard of that film. Hard Eight is great
Donnie Brasco one of the best mob movies ever Truly underrated
it's ok
@@CR055FIRE it’s more than ok it’s a terrific film, not the best mob film but still a solid film to watch.
@@reneperez7903 it's like a 7 out of 10

I can't believe they have thumbs up to booty call haha, awesome
R.I.P. Philip Baker Hall..just found out that he died this past June...
He's from my hometown, Toledo
These were the "alternative" era years of the 90s in bloom.
"The guy who played the program director" wow that plays different now post Sideways...
And then they don’t even mention PT Anderson for Hard Eight because it was his first film and he was a total unknown. I cracked up when Siskel said “top flight directors” should take notice of Philip Baker Hall’s performance. If only they knew what PT Anderson had to come!
@@erakfishfishfish Oh I have so many thoughts on Anderson's insane double in 1997. Anderson hit the ground at land speed. Also Hall had even better work coming for him in 1999!
I like the way they don’t even mention the director’s name in their enthusiastic Hard Eight review.
19:12 Siskel: "Howard: Bound... it's your cup of tea... and A."
Bound is a terrific film, as is Hard Eight.
Channel 2 is the ABC affiliate located in Nashville Tennessee - God bless them and Davis Nolan, who ran the weather-forecasting!
So crazy that they didnt even name PT Anderson.... They just called him "the director"
He was an unknown at the time
Why is that "crazy"? No one knew who he was until "Boogie Nights".
And in the Private Parts review, they only refer to Paul Giamatti as “the guy who played the program director”.
@@erakfishfishfish Paul Giamatti was a complete unknown......and funny how you don't notice that they play a clip of Giamatti in "Donnie Brasco" as well, where he had a bit part as an FBI agent. That gives you an idea of the types of parts Giamatti was playing in '97. Obviously neither your, nor the original commenter, was around in '97.
@@TTM9691 I know that he and Anderson were unknowns at the time. I saw Private Parts in the theater. I watched Hard Eight on VHS when I worked at a video rental store. My comment was more akin to saying S&E, like everyone else at the time, didn’t know what greats they had on their hands.
Siskel saying booty call...or even just booty...😅😅😅
Howard Stern just announced he will run for President today to "end the bullshit". timely release.
Bradley Cooper as his running mate. Jenna Jameson as his press secretary (ok, I made that last part up).
@@nikosvault if they can get JJ circa 1997 then hell yeah, lol
Ugh, please. Howard is a shell of what he once was. He stopped being the rebel and now he is wife rub elbows with Ellen.
He's too afraid of covid to run he hasn't left his house in 3 years.
Perfect game! All thumbs up!
And what's funny is that the following episode with Jungle 2 Jungle was a nearly all thumbs down.
I wonder how that flood went…
Based on this episode alone, there truly was nothing more hilarious or outrageous in 1997 than Lesbians
I sought out Smilla's Sense of Snow because of finding this review. I avoided it for decades based on the title because I thought it was just some 180-minute period film or something. ...They are NOT wrong about the ending, which is probably the reason it's been out of print for decades. I had a hundred questions, most pertinent and non-spoilery: So you have this top secret expedition to Greenland to find *REDACTED* which you will kill anyone outside of your trusted circle who knows about it, but you have a child ride-along program? Unlike S&E, I do feel it wildly unravels the story enough that it wrecks an otherwise skillful adaptation of what's a pretty tedious novel (There are so many redundant "walking through semi-abandoned records room" sequences and extra conversations in the book the movie wisely cuts). Julia Ormand IS really good in it, though.
Booty Call was funny.
It would be hard to find a worse title to interest guys than "Smilla's Sense of Snow". Something like "Cold Murder" would have been better.
Booty call
2 thumbs up 😂
