    As usual, Johnny's right. Film critics are little more than glorified shut-in academics. Also, Golden Child, heh. I remember seeing that being played at 8:00 PM on Spike. It made money because all mass-market appeal slop makes money. And then it's replaced.

    Eddie Murphy's The Golden Child has a 29% on Rotten Tomatoes while Three Amigos sits at 45%. Murphy commented in 1989: "My pictures make their money back. No matter how I feel, for instance, about The Golden Child - which was a piece of sh*t - the movie made more than $100 million. So who am I to say it sucks?" No one remembers The Golden Child; Three Amigos is 79 on Bravo's list of 100 funniest movies.

    "When are your next pictures coming out?" Hahahaha! Classic Chevy. Let's see. Two comedic geniuses (Carson and Chase) vs two movie critics (Siskel & Ebert) on whether you can critique comedy. Yeah, I'll go with C & C. Comedy is too personal to unequivocally determine whether it's good or bad. And 3 Amigos. It's DAMN funny! Plus, it has stood the test of time whereas The Golden Child, yeah, not so much.

    "If you laughed, then it was funny" The arrogance of excluding the case of "not getting the joke".... In other words "if I don't think it's funny then it's not funny". When the movie The Wiz came out in the late seventies my date and I found ourselves to be the only two white folks in the audience. It must have been some reception or special event because the men were all in nice suits and the women were wearing gowns. As the movie progressed my date and I would occasionally smile at jokes that had the rest of the audience laughing hard, and late in the movie there was one joke that caused the two of us to laugh really hard while the rest of the audience didn't get it (and looked at us like we were crazy). LOL, maybe comedy is subjective and demographically-dependent, Mr Bigshot movie reviewer.

    I actually thought that Siskel and Ebert were really good critics, especially Roger Ebert. I always liked his concept of looking at actors who perform a part really well with relation to what he called, "Joy of performance." That is, does the actor appear natural and to be really living and enjoying the role that he is taking on. However, what bothered me about the whole "Siskel & Ebert" franchise, if I can call it that, was the fame and notoriety that they seemed to exploit. I don't think that had to do that. This appearance is a good example of how they were appearing on shows as the famous critics. Hey, they worked hard for their careers and they earned whatever notoriety they created. But that phenomenon kind of smacked of the same thing that was wrong with Judge Lance Ito in the O.J. trial being seen with stars and invited to places that he shouldn't have. There is a line that someone in a serious role can cross that begins to feel like they are taking advantage of their position for some personal satisfaction. I recall this appearance of Siskel & Ebert's on Carson, and I don't think that these critics should have been showing up on these kinds of programs, and I don't think that the Carson Entertainment Group/NBC should have been inviting him on as an "entertainment" source. I kind of feel like this was the beginning of people being famous for being famous, such as Paris Hilton and others later followed upon. Kudos to Chevy Chase for dealing with this situation with some levity.
