Eternal Sunshine would make a great double feature with Inside Out, another funny, entertaining crowdpleaser that is also a deeply melancholy consideration of how our brains evolve and change over time (RIP Bing Bong). Both films also make an insistent plea for the importance of unhappiness in our lives. They suggest ignoring sadness does not make you happy; it actually dampens all your other emotions and keeps you from feeling anything. Only by opening yourself up to the possibility of hurt, as Joel and Clementine do in Eternal Sunshine’s opening and closing scenes, can you also feel true love and joy.

Reviewing a book about two film critics is a rather daunting task. I didn't grow up watching Siskel and Ebert, not because I wasn't interest
Back with another text review, this time of "Opposable Thumbs" by Matt Singer, the deep dive into the history of Siskel and Ebert.
Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever by Matt Singer. (via Jay Gabler/Duluth News Tribune)
How Singer unfolds the biographical history of the two storied Chicago print film critics turned syndicated TV superstar host rivals, Gene Siskel and Roger Ebert, is essential reading for any cinephile or television historian. There's so much detail and meaty material that shapes these two men's lives and their passion for sharing cinema. There are so many great stories and relationships revolving around Siskel & Ebert and the many incarnations of their film review show that reflects back on what culture was to where it is today.

Matt Singer, author of 'Opposable Thumbs: How Siskel & Ebert Changed Movies Forever,' helps pick 10 essential episodes of the critics' shows
Very good article. I remember the FMJ/Benji the Hunted episode and most all the other episodes mentioned. Ebert's taste was much closer to mine, but I always enjoyed hearing what both had to say. I especially enjoyed them talking about the films they were most passionate about, good or bad.

「ゴジラ」は、単に、張りぼての建物を壊しまくるゴム製スーツを着た人間が演じる怪獣の話ではない。日本国民が抱えるトラウマをアーティストたちが直視し、それを映画に組み入れた結果生まれた傑作だ。
