 Roger Ebert Quotation"I am utterly bored by celebrity interviews. Most celebrities are devoid of interest." "No good movie is too long and no bad movie is short enough" "We live in a box of space and time. Movies are windows in its walls." "Old theatres are irreplaceable. They could never be duplicated at today's costs - but more importantly, their spirit could not be duplicated because they remind us of a day when going to the show was a more glorious and escapist experience. I think a town's old theatres are the sanctuary of its dreams." From his review of Movie Title: North; "I hated, hated, hated this movie." "When a movie character is really working, we become that character." Pearl Harbor is a two-hour movie squeezed into three hours, about how on December 7, 1941, the Japanese staged a surprise attack on an American love triangle. 'Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie' is about as close as you can get to absolute nothing and still have a product to project on the screen. [On the creature in Resident Evil] That creature is called The Licker because it has a nine-foot tongue. At one point it has its tongue nailed to the track and is dragged along the third rail, I hate when that happens. [About Mannequin] This movie is a real curiosity. It's dead. I don't mean it's bad. A lot of bad movies are fairly throbbing with life. "Mannequin" is dead. The wake lasts 90 minutes and then we can leave the theater. Halfway through, I was ready for someone to lead us in reciting the rosary. [About Schindler's List] Of the thousands of movies that I've seen, none has touched me more deeply, spiritually, emotionally with just an outpouring of emotion. [About Hoop Dreams] "A film like Hoop Dreams is what the movies are for. It takes us, shakes us, and make us think in new ways about the world around us. It gives us the impression of having touched life itself." [About Baby Geniuses] "The movie involves a genius baby named Sly, who escapes from the lab and tries to organize fellow babies in revolt. The nauseating sight of little Sly on a disco floor, dressed in the white suit from 'Saturday Night Fever' and dancing to Stayin' Alive, had me pawing under my seat for the bag my Subway Gardenburger came in, in case I felt the sudden need to recycle it." "This is a dumb movie about dumb people." - on his review of New York Minute [On Charlie's Angels] "This movie doesn't have a brain in its three pretty little heads." [About Swingers] I saw it, I enjoyed it. I probably wouldn't walk more than five blocks to see it again. And on a cold day I'd have to think about it. Movie Title: The Critic (1994) as Roger Ebert: Gene Siskel : Well I thought that movie was very poignant. Especially the part where Tom Cruise is going around Las Vegas with a bucket full of his brother. Roger Ebert : Aw, c'mon, Gene. That was just another pointless sequel that didn't need to be made. Gene Siskel : This, from the man who liked 'Benji the Hunted?' Roger Ebert : Hey, you liked 'Carnosaur!' Gene Siskel : Well I bet you'll like this! [punches thrown] Gene Siskel : Hasta la vista, Porky! Roger Ebert : Cue ball in the side pocket! [punches thrown] [Jay plays his answering machine] Gene Siskel : [on machine] Hey, Jay! It's Gene Siskel. I've decided I'd like YOU to be my new partner. Let me know if you're game so I can tell Rex Reed to get lost. [beep] Roger Ebert : [on machine] Jay, it's Roger Ebert. How'd you like to be my new partner? Give me a call so I can get Rex Reed out of my hair. [beep] Rex Reed : [on machine] Jay, it's Rex Reed. I don't care if you got the job. I've got a NEW partner. [A monkey screeches on the tape] Rex Reed : [on machine, proudly] That's right, Pauline Kael! |
