Lewis
Oh and on the Lewis front I'm also very keen to write up "Slapstick Of Another Kind" which is apparently jaw-dropping in its miscalculation.

Sorceror, Shitty movies
For the record I'm a big fan of "Sorceror". On the level of pure craftsmanship it's tough to beat but I think it has too good a reputation to qualify for this project. Sure it was a flop but it got good reviews and certainly has a cult following. Friedkin's "Cruising", on the other hands, is…

Mooney Mooney Mooney
This was one of the tougher interviews I've done. It was really hard getting him to answer certain questions (or even address them) and he tended to get distracted and go off on tangents. Also he kept asking me how old I was and insisting that I was really young (for the record I'm thirty). I…

Chase and Animal House
I could be wrong but legend has it that either John Landis or Ivan Reitman told Chase he could either be Cary Grant and do the Leading Man thing in "Foul Play" or he could be part of an ensemble and play "Otter" in "Animal House". Chase not surprisingly chose to go for solo glory. Though…

Eighties satires
I second your love for "Wrong is Right". On the indifferently received eighties satire front I also have a soft spot in my heart for 1985's "Head Office". Anyone else seen it?

Hot Fuzz Hot Fuzz Hot Fuzz
Believe the hype.

To answer all of the above questions
The missing words are indeed "Wayne's World" and "Socially". I apologize to everyone for these typographical errors. As for my criteria for "My Year Of Flops" entries: they're fairly loose. To qualify a movie has to be a financial and critical failure without a substantive cult…

Points duly taken
Hey OhNoNotAgain (if that is your real name)I did worry that "The Kid & I" was a little too low-profile to qualify as a flop but it's such a strange little movie and echoes "Billy Jack Goes To Washington" so neatly that I gave it a pass. On the plus side I just learned what "belletristic" means.…

You are correct Sir
about the grade being off. Hopefully not about my review being bland. It's supposed to be a B- and hopefully will be changed imminently

New Kids on the Block had a bunch of hits/Chinese food makes me sick
Don't you be hating on LFO. I seem to recall "Summer Girls" doing pretty damn well in the Pazz & Jop poll the year it came out.

Baio: The Self-Effacingest
Is there anything more self-deprecating than writing a book about all the beautiful, famous women you've had sex with? Harvey Pekar and Robert Crumb watch out: it looks like we have a new king of psychological self-laceration.

Color me intrigued
I was seriously bummed that the "Elizabethtown" DVD contains almost no special features: just two very short deleted scenes and no audio commentary (a feature that might have conclusively answered the question: what the hell was he thinking?"). One of the things I really admire about "Elizabethtown"…
