Here's a bit of a retro treat for a Saturday afternoon... Back in 1983, the legendary ‘ At the Movies’ duo of Siskel & Ebert appeared on ABC’s Nightline with the noble purpose of defending Return of the Jedi from fellow film critic, John Simon.  While the art of being a critic is all about expressing your opinion, Mr. Simon seems to have an unusually strong disdain for the Star Wars Saga as a whole.  For example, he says the three lead actors are “lousy" and the movies are “completely dehumanizing.”   Alrighty, then… It’s interesting to note that, at one point - while bemoaning the use of special effects - he says that the films are something Walt Disney could have done just as well.  Guess we’ll find out on December 18, 2015!

The website Siskel & Ebert.org has many of the legendary duo’s shows archived, and one in particular focuses on the work of Steven Spielberg.  The 30-minute special, "At the Movies: The Magic of Spielberg," aired on April 28, 1984 and it spotlights Spielberg’s career from the 1971 made-for-TV movie Duel   up until the release of Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom -  which was released several weeks later on May 23, 1984. The video below includes several promos for upcoming shows, with the actual show itself beginning at the 1:28 mark.  Sit back and enjoy the retro commercials, too!
