Larger Than Life, Unhook the Stars, Romeo + Juliet, Dear God, Vertigo, 1996
The Revolving Thumb goes down in responce to a boycotted response to Spike Lee’s Get On the Bus.
The Viewer’s Thumb dumps on Roger for a negative review on A Long Kiss Goodnight.
And, I hated both segments! Why? I felt it slowed the pace down considerably (at the time).
Still do!
Bummer! The show got cut off right when Gene and Roger were about to yell at each other over which Geena Davis movie was better: The Long Kiss Goodnight or Cutthroat Island. Get out the boxing gloves for this show!
firstmagnitude, you did get your wish, though. Both segments didn’t last long.
Maybe andyfilm has that part and we’ll get it up here.
I actually have no problem with The Viewer’s Thumb and Revolving Thumbs segments, because I felt that they have something interesting to say. I understand why they didn’t lat long though. Also, spoilers for the Vertigo review.
I wonder why they stopped these things. Maybe they weren’t getting good enough viewer’s tapes? Also, Revolving Thumb was a good idea but maybe they then realized it was taking up too much time so no video segments, which were important as well.
