I'm shocked that they hated the movie North as much as I did. First of all as a child I found this movie hilarious from start to finish and was one of my favourite movies. Even when I watch it (at 16 years old) today I still think it's alright. That review is definitely one of the grossest exaggerations I've ever seen...
Unlike monkey man, i don't beat off to old films and want to debate their merits or lack of them. Ebert is history...well not really as he wouldn't even qualify. His cheap screenplays are already forgotten. Now he tries to get publicity kicking the dead. Of course, I've noticed on eberts bio that he was an alcoholic.
"Hottie and the Nottie" is easily the worst film of the decade. I hated it even more than "Battlefield Earth". It currently has a 5% on Rotten Tomatoes and a 7 out of 100 on Metacritic.
It's too bad S&E couldn't show the clip from On Deadly Ground where Seagal gives his speech about how to "change the essence of a man". It's one of the most hilarious moments ever captured on film.
I love the agonized way that Roeper tries to come up with a point for The Hottie and The Nottie to half-justify its existence. "Maybe the Nottie...can be a Hottie." He just hates his job in that moment. And who wouldn't?
The opening of this video defines how Siskel and Ebert acted like Abbott and Costello. "Deedles" is something Lou Costello would be happy to chant to Bud Abbott. During that period, I picked up the book "The Abbott and Costello Story" and I made numerous comparisons of Gene Siskel with Bud Abbott and Roger Ebert with Lou Costello.
as much as they did*

About Pootie Tang from imdb.com trivia:
According to Louis C.K., he and editor Doug Abel were removed from the editing room by the studio and were not allowed to have final cut of the film.
Roger was right.

I feel sorry for Gene having to watch movies like Meet the Deedles when he's so close to death.
Then again, as Leon of Spill.com once said, if you watch a bunch of terrible movies before you die, death won't seem so bad.
