19:40 The reviews
The straight story is a very moving film a wild departure from what lynch usually does
Debatable. The Elephant Man was also very moving and immediate.
The first season of Twin Peaks had some intentionally cheesy moments and an even more folksy vibe. I don’t think straight Story is that radically different, in fact it’s way more serious and has less wacky humor
RE: Fight Club
I see two moviegoers. One had an expectation for where they wanted the film to go and were disappointed that it went its own way. The other was willing to let the film lead them somewhere and enjoyed the experience. Fight Club isn't for everyone but it's an amazingly well-made film that is engrossing and deep in the ideas it trots across the screen.
The Straight Story is so beautiful and human, and although everybody says the opposite, I think is pure, pure Lynch
I agree with them on The Straight Story 👍🌟🌟🌟🌟
Richard Farnsworth was so Brilliant and should have won Best Actor
Sad he killed himself the following year
Still such an underrated film...👍🏿⭐⭐⭐⭐
One of my top 5 films of 1999
R.I.P Ebert, Richard Fransworth and Gene Wilder.
Also R.I.P. Peter Boyle.
@@reneedennis2011 When did Peter Boyle passed away? What did he do exactly? How did he die?
@@uyeda I believe Oeter Boyle passed in 2003. I don't remember what he died of.
@@reneedennis2011 He actually passed away on December 12, 2006. Died from multiple myeloma and heart disease.
@@uyeda Thank for the correction.
Is Fight Club a timeless Masterpiece, or just a masterpiece for a generation? Listening to Ebert had me thinking. I didn't think he'd like the violence. When I first watched it I thought it was gonna be a Van Damme Blood Sport type movie. Thought I was unhappy that it wasn't at the time, now Fight club is one of my all time favs. Every scene has so many creative ideas and quotable lines.
This is a great episode! Kinda wish Pereira was kept for good. She’s quick and confident and they have solid chemistry
Totally agree
Not counting recommending Eraserhead on an old Cult Classics special, The Straight Story marked the first David Lynch movie Roger Ebert gave a positive review for after having what can charitably be described as a difficult relationship with Lynch's work.
BTF not pro or anti either Lynch or Ebert. Just observing.
other than the story of us, this episode had a bunch of decent films.
It's a shame Siskel died when he did. He missed out on so many good movies in 1999
Pereira was dead on about fight club
Ebert should have made her permanent cohost!!!
Pereira is smarter than Ebert
Ebert's right on Fight Club... why watch that when you got movies like Booty Call around?
She couldn't handle julien donkey boy and says it "isn't the real thing".
Ironic considering the character is based on Harmony’s real uncle who’s schizophrenic
I don’t think ebert knew fight club was a book before it was a movie
Same here.
Could you do one for dogma ?
Fight club forever I think every didn’t get it now is adore by millions
Ebert over hear critiquing the movie he rewrote in his head instead of the movie he was given.
I think this chick Pereira had the right take. "As he progresses. So does his scicosis." Fucking dead-on.
Elbert got it wrong with fight club like most when it came out.
The first rule of Fight Club is that you don't talk about Fight Club
Fight Club wasn't supposed to be anti-violence, it's an ironic take on false macho gurus with vague philosophies who lead men into being target practice for the government industrial complex (an MK Ultra movie about taking advantage of tired, weak men), so Roger's remarks on the movie seem rather dishonest or just stupid and misreading the film. It's virtually impossible for a movie to pull off an anti-violence stance unless it gives attention to the sensitivities and impacts of violence as a choice or impulsive decision (because violence is a choice, whether for defensive, heinous, or other motives); otherwise, it's just embarrassing moralism made by fake Christians, Atheist Nihilist hypocrites, fake humanists, fake politicians.
Long journey from Iowa to Wisconsin? They are border states.
240 miles
He made the journey on a lawnmower, I'd say that's pretty long.
Fight Club was not a commercial hit
I just watched Fight Club for probably the 3rd time. I agree with Roger. While the acting of Brad Pitt and Edward Norton is great, once you know the twist of this movie, this film has little rewatch value
the rewatch is even better. the twist reframes all of the interpersonal relationships and all the conversations take on different subtexts.
Huh. I thought she'd condemn the film (being a wonk from ZDTV particularly). 1999 women were a lot better than today looks like. Of course you'd have to mention the book at some point - but neither did. The movie deviates (here and there) from the book - but not too much.
I agree with Ebert, I felt the same way and he was on point as to why this movie was a box office dud
I know this movie is a favorite on IMDb voters, but where were they when it came out
My uncle saw it in theaters and he likes it. I want alive then but ye
I, too, agree with Ebert on “Fight Club.” It’s always fun when he, too, is down on a movie that everyone else seems to love. It feels like a long awaited validation.
we all know how popular Fight Club is, see what Roger says here just sort of makes me curious. if Gene and Roger could be here today if they could be like 20 or 30 year old critics today i wonder how their opinions would change on all these films they blasted through the 80s and 90s for being too violent or gory or whatever. and i mean even thought they were both VERY liberal and progressive for the time they are also Boomers. and as we all know there is nobody todays progressive liberal youth hate more than boomers. because it is impossible to be progressive enough to keep up with the changing views of progressives.
Ebert was considerably progressive as a boomer but he also came out as anti abortion in his last days.
Food for thought.
How does a woman understand "Fight Club" better than a man?
Fight Club is the only good movie ever made.
@deadvoguestar I know
simpsons movie wasnt good?
What??
Straight Story is better
@@Jbaxter85 Straight Story is a Gem of a Movie with a Beautiful Performance by Richard Farnsworth
FC needed to be rated NC-17. This has caused real fight clubs and that's bad
Believe it or not but people were beating each other up way before 1999
Then Power Rangers and Mortal Kombat should be NC-17
Bruh, that is not the fault of the movie
fake news
