AdamSmith Posted February 20, 2010 Author Share Posted February 20, 2010 I always admired his intellect and his passion. And, now, his indomitableness. Astounding to me the range & depth of his perceptions & his talent. Did you know that, besides his erudite and penetrating and appreciative movie reviews, he also, with Russ Meyer, co-wrote the screenplay for the camp cult classic "Beyond the Valley of the Dolls"? I mean, how can you not love a man who pens this line of dialog: "You will drink the black sperm of my vengeance!" http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beyond_the_Valley_of_the_Dolls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MsGuy Posted February 21, 2010 Members Share Posted February 21, 2010 I mean, how can you not love a man who pens this line of dialog: "You will drink the black sperm of my vengeance!" How do we know that ole Russ didn't contribute that remarkable line? ---- I really miss the old Siskel & Ebert show. If both endorsed a movie I was interested in, I knew I would probably like it myself. [liberal cause movies excepted, but it was easy to tell when they were doing an ideological review.] Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AdamSmith Posted February 21, 2010 Author Share Posted February 21, 2010 How do we know that ole Russ didn't contribute that remarkable line? I thought I read Ebert claiming credit, in an interview with him long ago. But no can find now. Maybe it was a footnote to that Yucca Mountain article I can't find either. I really miss the old Siskel & Ebert show. Yep. Really nothing quite like it since. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BigK Posted February 22, 2010 Members Share Posted February 22, 2010 Very nice and comprehensive article. I first started watching Siskel & Ebert on public TV. I don't care for the current At the Movies. Still check Eberts reviews before seeing a movie. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
