I remember sitting in a movie theater watching Armageddon, parts of the audience are groaning at the lame parts and laughing at the unintentionally funny parts, and then some guy said "Armageddon out of here" and walked out 😂
We lost the weekly Siskel and Ebert show almost 25 years ago and nothing has come close to replacing it. While I didn’t always agree with their reviews, I greatly respected their passion and knowledge of current and past films. Miss these guys
Agree with them or not, Siskel and Ebert stand out from modern critics by being well-versed in film, literature, and story-telling, and thus give concise explanations as to why movies are good or SUCK. Also, that Scarlet Letter movie sound god awful, and the repeated use of “noisy” to describe a Michael Bay movie is so humorously simple while undeniably accurate.
"I'm Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times our first movie is called Last Rights and that's exactly what I'd like to administer to this film which is easily the most offensive big budget picture of 1988."
S&E are greatly missed. No one has replaced them. I was smart, intelligent TV that at least caused one to think about seeing something. I think sometime the film industry really doesn't want critic(s) of their product, but think they maintain quality of what is produced and avoided viewers being turned off.
Diotoir, I'm so happy and thankful you put this together. There's no more fun a movie genre than movies that so horribly bad. It's a shame Siskel and Ebert are no longer with us. How I would love to hear what they would say about the Little Mermaid, Peter Pan and Snow White - NOT the originals, but the slimy ooze seeping out of the sewage pipes at New Millennium Disney.
I never understood how people my age and even older liked Armageddon. I think that movie is among the worst movies ever made and had assumed only super low I.Q. Remedial learners would find anything to enjoy in it. Man was I shocked when people smart enough to tie their own shoes and who could read and drive liked it. Some of the worst acting, writing, and music use I have ever seen in a major release. ( obviously schlock and B movies not included. )

Saw Armageddon in the theater as a teenager the summer of 1998, and to this day still think it’s one of the worst movies I’ve ever seen.
Listening to these guys hate movies is even better than listening to them love movies.
I love how Roger Ebert unleashed his inner Jay Sherman about that shitty Madonna movie by saying that “it stinks!”. 😂
Add to the strange decisions made for the Scarlet Letter adaptation the fact that Demi Moore took on an English accent while Gary Oldman dropped his.
They would have never survived through the 2010's.
If we didn’t have Armageddon we wouldn’t have the most over-played Aerosmith song ever.

RIP William Friedkin. I had no idea I was watching this the day after he died.
"you know the budget of this movie was 55 million dollars?"
"I'm Roger Ebert of the Chicago Sun Times our first movie is called Last Rights and that's exactly what I'd like to administer to this film which is easily the most offensive big budget picture of 1988."
I'm so grateful for Siskel and Ebert, and the fans that keep them alive with the uploads and compilations.

I can't believe Rob Reiner directed that film...smh

Stargate had a dumb premise but it works as a brain dead popcorn flick imo.
