Quotes of Movie: "Siskel & Ebert & the Movies
|
[after Ebert gives his opinion on one of the films they are reviewing] Oh, really! I thought this movie was *terrible*! You're too kind. Roger Ebert: You're too cruel. [reviewing "Freddy Got Fingered"] What is the most disgusting film of 2001? Well, let's see, in a field that includes "See Spot Run", "Monkeybone", "Tomcats", and "Joe Dirt", so we've got some great contenders; the champion is "Freddy Got Fingered", with Tom Green making David Spade look like Jim Carrey, and Jim Carrey look like Laurence Olivier. At least the thugs from "3000 Miles to Graceland" look like grown-up tough guys, unlike the teeny-bopper idols in "American Outlaws" who couldn't punch their way out of a casting call for a Gap commercial. | |

We were on "The Howard Stern Show" once and Rob Schneider called in, and he was asking me how I could write what I did about the original "Deuce Bigalow" movie. And my question to him is; how could you make this second "Deuce Bigalow" movie? I mean, where is this movie coming from? Who were you talking to who told you that you should make this move, and that it would be funny, and that it would be good for your career, and that it would be worth money for people to go to see it? How in the world did this movie ever get made? It is completely beneath contempt! Our next movie is "Son of the Mask", this was almost a landmark for me. In the five years I've been co-hosting this show, this is the closest I've ever come to walking out halfway through the film and now that I look back on the experience, I wish I had! And here I thought "Dumb & Dumberer" was going to be the worst Jim Carrey-free sequel I see in my life, believe it or not, "Son of the Mask" is even worse! You know, I'm giving this one a marginal thumbs-up... Richard Roeper: Who are you, and what have you done with Roger Ebert? New on video this week; Reese Witherspoon and Mark Ruffalo in "Just Like Heaven" which got two thumbs up. "Doom," with The Rock, which got two thumbs down, and the Oscar nominated "Wallace & Gromit: The Curse of the Were-Rabbit" which was loved by just about everyone in the world, including me, but you know Richard, it seems like only yesterday... [flashes back to when they reviewed the movie for the first time four months ago] Roger Ebert: No, no, no, no, no. You can't! You can not... you can *not*... you can *not* give this movie thumbs down! Richard Roeper: [points along his thumb] Thumb... pointing... down. Roger Ebert: [flashes back to present] How could you of been so wrong? [reviewing “The Spongebob Squarepants Movie”] If college kids find this entertaining, they must be on drugs! I have a theoretical question for you, Richard: How far down can a thumb go? [after Shales gives "The Other Sister" a negative review] Gee, I liked it a lot less than you did. [during a review of the 1998 version of "Godzilla"] Now that I've inspired a character in a Godzilla movie, all I really still desire is for several Ingmar Bergman characters to sit in a circle and read my reviews to one another in hushed tones. Richard Roeper: Until next week, the balcony is closed. [reviewing "Stargate"] Do you know that the budget, supposedly, of this picture was fifty-five million dollars? Roger Ebert: Boy, they must've had some great lunches. Roger Ebert: [surprised] You took... kids to see this? This is the kind of movie where after kids see this, they should see "The Good Son" to cheer themselves up! [criticising Roger's thumbs up for "Gorilla's in the Mist"] You're only saying you like the film because apes and a woman are there, and they look pretty. [referring to "North"] Well, I think you've got to hold Rob Reiner's feet to the fire here: he's the guy in charge, he's saying this is entertainment - it's deplorable. There isn't a gag that works. You couldn't write worse jokes if I told you to write worse jokes. The ethnic stereotyping is appalling, it's embarrassing, you feel unclean as you're sitting there; it's junk - first-class junk. Roger Ebert: Maybe at some point there was an original inspiration for a good comedy here, I don't know. They certainly were not reluctant to spend a lot of money looking ridiculous in this movie and sometimes that works, but not this time. The whole movie is a mess, and even though Cosby has disowned it, he cannot escape all the blame. I don't think so. In one scene, his twenty-year old daughter brings home a sixty-six-year old man that she wants to marry. Cosby is appalled; this guy is robbing the cradle! What does he do? He calls for a sandwich and a Coke. And then he holds the Coke bottle prominently next to his face for the rest of the scene. First it says "Coca-cola", and then the next shot, it says "Coke", in case you missed the point. Who released this movie? Columbia. Who owns Columbia? Coca-cola! What is Coca-cola doing with this movie? They have a lot of products in this movie, Gene, that you can get a tie-in where you can get the product in connection with buying a ticket for the movie. I think that that is an all-time low: Bill Cosby, the richest man in show business, 67.5 million dollars income last year, *reduced* to holding a Coca-cola bottle next to his face in order to get a picture made at Columbia. He ought to be ashamed of himself. If there's one movie from 2008 you should avoid at all costs, that movie would be "Funny Games". The fact that it features fine performances, talented direction, and some moments of genuine suspense only make the end product that much more grotesque, and appalling. [later in the review] Michael Phillips: Well, I think it's a date movie, Richard, as long as you're da... as long as you're dating... Charles Manson, or Squeaky Fromme, or something. Michael Phillips: It's like an insane mash up between "Ice Age 2" and "Apocalypto", two movies that aren't really as much fun as this one, *I say*. It's about 10,000 pounds of cheese on a cracker, and Richard, now and then, know what I'm in the mood for? 10,000 *pounds of cheese* on a cracker. Richard Roeper: Later, we're given reason to believe *Glover's* character could be the killer, or maybe it's... somebody else. Whoever it is, I guess he has the strength of Mr. Incredible, because he kidnaps all these victims, and he can carry them to the appointed torture chamber, and then he *watches* them self destruct, because, of course, he has more webcams than the girls at voyeurdorm.com. [reviewing Highlander 2:The Quickening] I read about this picture and do you know that it cost 34 million dollars to make? Roger Ebert: You’re kidding me! Gene Siskel: Shot in Argentina....where did the money go? Roger Ebert: 34 million, they must have had a limousine every time they went to the john. | |
