THE DARKER SIDE OF SISKEL & EBERT

Written by Vince Mancini / 01.27.10

This video is billed as “the darker side of Siskel & Ebert”, and purports to show their secret, contentious relationship — as you’d expect from any short fat guy/tall skinny guy relationship. But the majority of it is Ebert making catty comments when Siskel (who died in ’99) flubs a line, followed by Siskel trying to slur out a fat joke in response.  Siskel actually seems drunk during a lot of these.  Between that and him giving Ebert crap for giving Full Metal Jacket a thumbs down (!!!), I think me and him could’ve hung out.

Anyway, they may bust each other’s balls, but that’s to be expected. And in almost every clip they’re wearing matching, v-neck sweaters, which, if I’ve learned anything from videos on the internet, means they totally started Frenching as soon as the cameras were off.

THE BEST FAKE SPIRIT TRAILER YET

Written by Vince Mancini / 01.13.09

Remember that For Your Consideration Spirit trailer I posted a while back?  The one that just compiled the bad reviews?  This one’s like that, but a lot better.  It’s from Black20, they of Quantum of Bonds and Journey at the Center of the Earth.  They managed to find better quotes.  Quotes like, “This movie was so good I’m spinning in my goddamned grave,” says Gene Siskel.
