Siskel & Ebert 1995 -Worst of 95 pt 2

[orbison]

As Siskel was describing why he hated Jade and described how sick it was, and the sick sex scene, I wonder if Ebert was thinking in his mind "Now you know why I was so hard on Blue Velvet". I recently saw Blue Velvet, and while I can understand how it made Ebert (and many others) uncomfortable, It is still a good film.

[blinkzone1]

The Jerky Boys...omg what a piece of shit and easily one of the worst films I have ever seen.

[zachzilla26]

But I WANT to interact with a movie.

It looks fun.

[ginastarke2]

How could you forget Jury Duty? Hopefully, therapy... Man if they think Jury Duty is bad, wait 'till they get a load of Bio Dome!

[RichardKleiner]

at 4:29, I uttered "You were in The Godfather!"

[theaceofclubs]

@sivazh hahahaha dude you are a total fool . . .

[WarRogers]

Ebert gave really good advice to Eddie Murphy. Siskel and Ebert were always so interesting to listen to.

[CVargas]

What if you called a grocery store and asked for "King Oscar" in a can and they actually had it? That would be kind of awkward.

[ginastarke2]

@CVargas that used to be the joke ..if they had it, you'd say " then let him out!"

[MrBuch169169]

Yes, yes, but is there any fat?!

[sammycut1]

I was a little surprised when Roger referred to Basic Instinct as having a good screenplay, since he gave that film thumbs down. Maybe he realized just how good it was because he'd seen something worse?

[GrassValleyGreg]

Haha- little did they know the star that Charlie Murphy would become.

[Ollieisanarchy54]

NO FAT NO FAT.......NO FAT!!!



[jamestargetedindiv]

Check my comments in my channel for information about the Pre-January 8th version of Inception.

[MegaVolcano]

I worked at a movie theater from 92-97, and I have to admit 1995 really did suck for movies.

[nirdjha2000]

PRINCE Albert, morons!

[MrBuch169169]

Good Lord, I think Siskel was actually speechless on the Pauly Shore bit! ".......... right, Roger."

[Focaminante]

Interactive works on YouTube...

[Popteart]

Jury Duty kicks ass. Of course it's not Godfather good but it's funny.

[MrJoey6590]

5:38 pure genius

[DisgruntledBastard01]

I wonder what they think of eddie murphy now

[wiifan391]

"We don't want to interact with a movie"

You hear that creators of Heavy Rain?

[027220]

6:10 Jaw-droppingly, Bob Gale (Back to the Future) wrote & directed.

[Dogfacesoulja8582]

Anything Pauly Shore makes is total garbage! And Eddie Murphy hasn't made anything worth watching since the 80's. He just pissed his talent away

[mrgb46]

@Dogfacesoulja8582 He was funny in Shrek and in that musical with Jennifer Hudson,then he started making crap again....

[corpseyfest]

"Listen up, shoeface!"

Great dubbing work there.

[027220]

7:19 Yeah.

[TomStraub]

Lol they had Mr Payback on Futurama...

[blindthrall]

Now I know why Siskel's dead. He talked shit on Charlie Murphy.

[BTLemming]

Wow, I think Eddie Murphy actually listened to Siskel. "Shrek", "Dreamgirls"....all great supporting parts.

[RichardKleiner]

@BTLemming... and then came "Norbit"

[YesWeCantaloupe]

5:29 Gene smiles after Roger says 90s kids are smart. He's smiling because he always thought Roger "wanted to be liked" and so he kisses the audience's ass.

[POOPtard69]

No fat.

[Kousaburo]

Does Ebert eat Alpine Lake Turkey?

[Killerseeker1]

@Kousaburo

np he eat the whole alpine

[DNAngel2009]

"No fat, no fat, no fat, no fat, no fat, no fat, no fat!"

[loverboyz901]

Jury Duty: Abe Vigoda, NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! first Good Burger, North now this. And in a motherfucking Pauly Shore movie!!!

[JWRandall423]

It was "Prince Albert", actually.

[nelsonzepeda666]

hey i wanted to see the comercials!

[lurch321]

Eddie Murphy needs to find a new agent...................he hasn't done anything worth a crap since Dreamgirls.

[KatarinaSu]

@lurch321 I know! I looked up dream girls and realized that was four years ago!

[gotrek44]

I wish Gene could realize that Farleys movies flopped because he wasnt correctedly used. His movies and scripts and stories were weak, and he was the only funny element. In SNL he was great, hands down. Yes Farleys movies were pretty crappy, but not at all Farleys fault. Without Farley those same movies would be waste. UTTER WASTE.

[jmh90]

Why was Gene Siskel always so hard on Chris Farley? Chris Farley was an incredibly talented and funny man who was at the very least warm, sincere, and loveable. Gene Siskel, on the other hand, was a stuck-up wimp who wasn't fit to shine Farley's shoes. May they both rest in peace.

[JJJMMM1]

@jmh90

Seriously? Incredibly talented? I must've missed something. What movie showed his talent? I haven't seen any.

I'm not being sarcastic, I want to see good comedies, but at least Tommy Boy, Black Sheep and Beverly Hills Ninja were all pure crap and I've never seen Farley being funny.

[jmh90]

@JJJMMM1 If he's not funny to you then he's not funny to you. But of the hundreds of millions of people who have seen him on the stage, on television, or in the movies nearly all of them would say he was hilarious. You may not find him funny or be a fan of his but there is no denying that he had incredible talent and heart. But you're entitled to your opinion.

[Ingratiateful]

5:08 = awesome.

[UniteForgetLeftRight]

i remember seeing something on tv about mr. payback lol

[stephandalziel]

Wow! Siskel was right about what Murphy should do! Dreamgirls.

[johnhamilton08]

please tell me that wasn't Shelley Winter's in that Pauly Shore movie? it was... no no no no no no no!!

[docthemetalfreak]

Ok i have to say Judge Dredd Tank Girl Money Train the Jerky Boyz n (not surprizingly) Showgirlz were good.But my pickx out of all of them for worst of 95......goin with Mighty Morphin Power Rangerz The Movie Waterworld n Vampire In Brooklyn.Three way tie for the worst of 95.

[YoJimBoHugabaJoe]

5:38 epic reaction

[634devil]

I am an mst3k fan and yet 'The Jerky Boys' might very well be the worst movie I've ever seen.

[CrownedPeaches]

START DIGGIN'!

[levraijoueur]

Blockbuster is dead.

[TheDEATHSTARIII]

beverly hills cop 3 wasnt that bad it just is kind of worn out

[ebertfan92]

Thank god Wes Craven and Eddie Murphy made comebacks the next year with Scream and The Nutty Professor.

[juanvega5]

NO FAT!

[yellowcougar18]

Man Eddie Murphy should never work with his brother Charlie. The last time he did, we got Norbit. Just awful.

Siskel and Ebert were on the ball when they destroyed these films.

[CJ076]

"Mr. Payback" must have fallen off the edge of the map when it came out because I have never heard of it. I do however, agree with their other choices in this episode. I hated them as much as they did.

[kritiX99]

I liked Vampire in Brooklyn...not the best movie, but certainly not the worst.

[Euroheat0022]

"We don't have room for Pauly Shore" lol

[ZyxthePest]

Mmmmmm Alpine Lakes...

[jupithou]

You're the actor, not the genius. - Roger Ebert

[jupithou]

You're the actor, you're not the genius. - Roger Ebert

[kessel12]

Am I wrong, or is that Big Pussy behind Alan Arkin at 3:12?

[tthomaselli2]

@kessel12

Vincent Pastore is his name.; I think that's him, back there.

[bernlin2000]

Cmon, Siskel, don't be so sneering: nobody really ever liked Pauly Shore. He's annoying to EVERYONE.

[Chubachus]

no fat?

[CliffM85]

Who you callin' turkey?

[TyroneTasty]

NO FAT NO FAT NO FAT NO FAT NO FAT!!!!

[ErnestoGPerez]

@TyroneTasty no fat. :b

[xxPatheticEmoxx]

It's sad considering Vigoda is a really good actor, Jury Duty, North, and Good Burger almost ruined his career. no wait, they did ruin his career, have we seen him recently? NO!

[EatRune]

Was Mr. Payback not released on homevideo? I would think that thing could work with a DVD remote or something.

[alexforever411]

Eddie Murphy would be great in something, all he needs is great material he'd do great.

[NorrinRadd1981]

Siskel told Eddie Murphy what he should do in 1995 and he finally did that with Dream Girls. Too bad he peobably cost himself the Oscar by releasing Norbit a few month earlier.

[locustsymphony]

They really hate Pauly Shore

[BrainCandy11]

Abe Vigoda was in Jury Duty? damn.

[gspendlove]

I have to admit, "The Jerky Boys Movie" is a true guilty pleasure of mine (if only because I thought the Jerky Boys were funny).

[mommyimadeapoopy]

"...right roger" i laughed out loud at that hahah

[thedrizzle16]

Joe Esterhas has to be one of the most criminally overpaid screenwriters in film history.

[Arthur5041975]

@thedrizzle16 Nonsense. And learn to spell his last name. Eszterhas

[VirtualBoy500]

Ebert really has a point with his comments on the violence in the buddy-cop movie. Although I've never seen that film, this is something I often have a problem with in movies. There's this thing called "tone," and if you disrupt that, you can lose your audience. You can't have slapstick humor in a somber drama. You can't have long, drawn-out conversations in a non-stop action movie. And you surely can't have gruesome violence in a silly comedy.

[deadcrowes19]

"we don't have room at the bottom of the scale for Pauly Shore."

"Start digging!"

XD.

[KentuckyKid84]

It took Eddie Murphy so long to take Siskel's advice from here until "Dreamgirls," and look what happened: Oscar nod. It's not the fact that he's making comedys and family films...it's that he's made so many bad comedys and inane family films, so boring and dumb.

[fiddlestyxify]

What Siskel said about Eddie Murphy was spot on back then. Taking a secondary part in a good mood was exactly what he needed to do, and it's exactly what he did do--with Shrek.

[SirEattonHogg]

"Right, Roger." Lol

[itpduder]

I feel awful but I actually liked some of these flicks. Yeah, they were stupid or whatever, but I found them entertaining.

[stimpp]

Wasn't it MTV that inflicted Pauly Shore upon us? Fuck MTV.

[horsinoff]

NO FAT!

[mateo134]

Murphy's brother, as in Charlay Murphy? Darkness!

[superdeeduper51]

What assholes. I don't care how good they are, they clearly have no sense of humor.

[prrrrecious]

aww. Tommy Boy was great.

[spacegeek]

no fat!

[jimmybrite]

Siskel hated Chris farley, lol wow, that tells a lot.

[talubar]

"Even the ones with an IQ of 50 are too smart for Pauly Shore". LMAO, couldn't agree more.

[10HAPPYGILMORE]

@talubar LOL!! Great Line.

[blaaaagh]

right Roger

[yellowcougar18]

Did the movie kill the Jerky Boy's movie kill their career?

[yellowcougar18]

Sadly a stuntwoman, Angela Bassett's double, actually died when a stunt went wrong. Sad. Tho it would not be the first awful film where a crew member died. Suburban Commando springs to mind.

[flmbyz]

Funny thing about Eddie Murphy, he did take a supporting part in a great director's film (Dreamgirls) and it worked. He should have been a shoe in for Best Supporting Actor and could have won had he not made Norbit and it didn't get released before the voters had to turn in their ballots. Guess he didn't worry too much about "climbing back up that ladder." I could only imagine what Gene Siskel would have said about that whole situation.

[123rockfan]

Yeah he was excellent in Dreamgirls, I was really happy for his comeback. But why on earth did he agree to be in Norbit? It's a shame.

[Q9R42]

I just love the chemistry between them.

Reminds me of tobin and yuzo.

Also nostalgia critic which seems to have gotten the entire format from them.

[canucksfan94]

Charlie Murphy!

[Whyavier]

I've heard it from the mouths of producers: never work with Linda Fiorentino as she's a terrible bitch.

[xander6981]

Not to mention a terrible actress. I hated her in both Dogma and Men in Black. She simply can't act.

[sonicboom970]

9:14

Epic Win.

[Ihatejohnashton]

should have left the commercials in for nostalgia purposes

[marshallguy301]

Eddie Murphy's career apparently has been on life support for nearly 20 years!

[limborate]

"Even kids with I.Q.s of fifty are too smart for Pauly Shore."

[mrgb46]

@limborate Well put..

[poinoup]

All these criticisms stand today...and they wonder why we download movies.

[xoloesquincle]

agree 200%

[levanyzzuf]

"The movie that didn't make me laugh the most"...? MAJOR LULZ!!!

I saw Jury Duty back in 1996 and I still remember it, unfortunately, 2300 movies later.

[TheKleinHimself]

wow no fat, that a really good deal

[AskDoleBananas]

It was funny to see Gene's face when Roger said Jury Duty.  The movie must be so bad he simply forgot it even existed. LOL

[ClemmyProductions]

Wow, people were talking about how bad Eddie Murphy's movies were and how his career was in free fall 14 years ago.

[Gladchild08]

Yea his good movies were in the 80's, like 48 hours, trading places and beverley hills cop.

[mikejackson4ever]

One notable exception- I thought- was The Nutty Professor.

[thefilmjock]

@ClemmyProductions Murphy always manages to have a hit in the nick of time.

[Chubachus]

@ClemmyProductions i dont think he reached his lowest point until pluto nash though

[outofnames0]

THANK GOD pauly shore is out of the movie theaters. I still cannot believe that he was a movie star leading any movie at any time.

[ShitStains7676]

He's even annoying to look at. Every face he pulls just makes me feel like someone's scraping their hands on a blackboard!

[outofnames0]

Lol. Indeed. His face, his voice, everything about him is aggravating, and you know how they talk about great actors bringing out the best in others? I think Pauly Shore brought out the worst in people. It's unreal that he headlined any of those movies he was in, as awful as they all were in any case.

[bluebettle]

I like where he is now; desperately trying to crawl out of the hole of obscurity by creating crappy project after crappy project. From awful reality shows to awful "ironic" movies about his fame he's stuck in his hell.

[TheConciseStatement]

@outofnames0 Stranger things have happened. Maybe, 2? But they have happened.

[danning1]

@outofnames0

10 years from now we'll be saying the exact same thing about Adam Sandler. Has Sandler made even one other good movie besides "50 First Dates" with Drew Barrymore? The ONLY one I can remember liking of his, for sure. Peace.

[poontang3zizo]

@danning1 hey waddabout Punch Drunk Love, The Wedding Singer and even Click. I enjoyed those movies quite a bit, thank ya very much.

[UdoShan]

Yeah, I always thought The Jerky Boys were overrated!

[tvinsomne]

"Alpine Lane Fat Free" in Siskel & EBERT: "No fat, no fat, no fat", that's irony...

[DanielTheWalrus]

LMAO!! My God, i thought i was the only one who notice!! hahahaha!

And fater the last "no fat, Ebert shows up! Now, that gotta be something that Siskel workout! Lol!

[dklskov]

This is from when Ebert would still pan films! They talk a lot about the "Dumb" comedies here, from Carrey to Farley down to Shore, but what about the incredibly inane recent movies like "Old School" and "Talladega Nights?" "Walk the Line" is probably the worst I've seen, and whenver people start talking about how funny they are it makes me feel like I'm on crazy pills. Thanks for the video post, gradepoint.

[QuietGiantProduction]

I think you meant Walk Hard but yeah I know what you mean. But ebert hated Step Brothers.

[dklskov]

Good call, thanks. I did mean "Walk Hard." No offense meant towards "Walk the Line."

[cubaz320]

Mr. payback reminds me of Barack paper scissors

[simpsonsfan89]

I strongly disagree that Tommy Boy is a bad movie. It's one of my favorite movies of all time.

[levanyzzuf]

Love their comments on the Carrey-Farley-Shore scale of continuum. One of the funniest bits I've seen on their show. Something happened to the format of the show when Roeper came on that didn't allow for this same kind of interaction, but I'm not sure exactly what it was.

[BillyRVaughan]

Start digging!

[luchozepp]

omg! no fat!

[Samsfashi0n]

Talk about a prophecy from Gene Siskel - "Eddie Murphy should take a good supporting role in a great Directors movie". 11 years later he did, the movie was called DREAM GIRLS and if it wasn't for NORBIT maybe Murphy would of won BEST SUPPORTING ACTOR. Will he get another bite at the Oscar cherry? Will he ever again put himself in a position to be even considered for an Oscar? Who knows? But it hardly looks likely.
