Watch as Siskel and Ebert face off against a grumpy critic (John Simon) who doesn’t understand the magic of Star Wars in this 1983 Nightline clip.

Especially noteworthy about this is Ebert’s prophetic remarks about how Star Wars movies are the type of films Disney should be making.

Everyone remembers how much fun it was when Siskel and Ebert went off on each other. But as this clip proves, they were an even more powerful, um, force when they agreed. There’s nothing that isn’t wonderful about this. Enjoy.

I love toys of the past, especially ones like Kenner’s various slide projector toys. Even though these things were successful for 30 years, the rise of the VCR wiped them out almost overnight. Today’s Topless Robot Daily List presents a look at the 10 Greatest Toy Slide Projector Character Sets. Many of these, like the goofy version of Star Wars that is featured above, transport you into a strange parallel universe where familiar characters look and act in bizarre and unexpected ways. The list will transport you back to a more innocent time when all you needed to entertain yourself were some slides of your favorite comic book and TV pals.

That’s right folks, today Know Your Chicken offers up free time travel. Can your blog do that? Didn’t think so.
