Ebert gave a negative review to Cable Guy, between that and Death To Smoochy he really seemed to dislike dark, spiteful, misanthropic humor and that's where I part ways with his opinions

Caligula is an even better exercise in bad taste than Pink Flamingos because of all its pretentiousness

All this talk about Roger, but no Siskel? Was Siskel ever known for anything (aside from dying)? Ebert got the fat jokes, but there's got to be more.

Siskel was fun, and he and Ebert were very competitive with each other, especially with trying to find out how the other was going to rate an upcoming movie. That way they could anticipate the other's arguments and opinions and undermine them to look smarter in the show. Siskel would apparently resort to clandestine measures to accomplish this, like hiding under a table to eavesdrop on Ebert.

It should also be mentioned that Siskel found Cable Guy to be funny, so he's alright in my book.

Some of these outtakes are pretty funny, especially the one that starts around 5:38.

Ebert on protestants:
"The only loving religion that has Reader's Digest as a prayer book"
"The only time protestants get on their knees is to adjust the loving tv set"
