Talk:At the Movies (1986 TV program)

message: I remember Martin Short once had an Ed Grimley special (I think it was on HBO?) that featured a parody of Siskel & Ebert and if Memory serves one of them threatened to shoot Ed Grimley with a gun with an Ed Grimley silencer.  I can only recall once seeing this and if my memory was more specific I'd add it to the list of Pop Culture references.  If someone has more specific info (like the special on tape?), or at least a better memory, could they please ad it to the list? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.118.227 (talk • contribs) 03:00, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

text: The above user is trying to reference a cable special entitled "Martin Short Goes Hollywood" and I see that they have done so correctly, but for some reason, Wikipedia formatting is incorrectly abbreviating it as "SCTV" which was a different show the character Ed Grimley appeared in. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Minaker (talk • contribs) 19:36, 29 July 2006 (UTC)

message: I've reverted AnmaFinotera's deletion of one of the items in the External links section (Ebert & Roeper Thumbs Summary) because I feel that the link in question falls within WP:EL#What_should_be_linked (#3). The link is to a list that I maintain showing in summary form the "thumbs up/thumbs down" votes for each movie reviewed on the show for the past 3 years. I think that Wikipedia users find this information valuable and I regularly receive e-mail from users confirming such. The information is not available in summary form anywhere else. I maintain the list for no purpose other than providing a useful resource to fellow viewers of the program. The list contains no solicitations. Bryan H Bell 01:43, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Your revert has been reverted.  As you own the site, your addition of the link and its revertion violates the WP:COI guideline. You should not add links to your own site on Wikipedia, but post ot the talk page and let neutral editors review the site and determine if it should be included. Otherwise, it gives the appearance that you are spamming your site, even if that is not your intention. AnmaFinotera 01:49, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  Ah, fair enough. Anybody care to take a look at the site and if they think the link is a worthwhile resource, add it back onto this article? Thanks. Bryan H Bell 02:02, 13 November 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ebert & Roeper Thumbs Summary 

message: I recall that Siskel & Ebert for a limited time had yearly Holiday Video Gift Guide specials in which they reviewed video equipment among other things.  One time in particular I recall was Ebert reviewing one of the earliest digital cameras available for consumers and turning the camera sideways for shooting in page orientation (the default was landscape orientation), and in the review Siskel commented that that would require turning your TV sideways for viewing.  I couldn't find much about those specials on-line, even on the IMDB or YouTube and was wondering if those specials could warrant a mention.  Info I found on-line was extremely sparse and I suspect those specials weren't separate from the series but part of it, and hence likely part of the show's on-line video archive? (I have yet to look and it might take awhile to search.)
Also I recall Roeper saying when the video archive was unveiled that the earliest episodes have been lost.  Having not browsed the archive for the really old stuff, does that mean the very early episodes are spotty or rare, or does it just cut off before a certain date?  A mention of how complete or incomplete the archive is (and why?) seems appropriate.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 4.254.118.126 (talk) 14:43, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion. There's also a similar video here. I've seen these videos before and after watching them in full again it isn't clear to me whether their comments are bickering or banter. There's a fair amount of laughter and affectionate contact between them in addition to the insults and abrasive behavior. Regardless, I've added this evidence to the article so that readers can judge for themselves. --Bryan H Bell (talk) 00:53, 16 May 2008 (UTC)
