Hey Rock Strongo (if that is your real name)
I hadn't noticed that Levinson had hit the MYOF trifecta (thanks for pointing out that neat bit o' trivia) but I sure have been writing alot about him lately. I wonder if "Toys"'s failure caused him to lose confidence in himself and veer unremarkably between soulless…

The Fisher King
is a film I very much enjoy despite Williams. Also the whole "Robin Williams riffing in a field" trailer, while probably as well-known as the film itself, is pretty perverse considering the film's insanely decadent, Oscar-nominated production design. Why make a trailer that completely ignores a film's…

Failure V. Fiasco
For the record a Fiasco is preferable to a Failure because it suggests an admirable level of ambition, audacity and vision, no matter how misguided whereas a Failure is a movie that isn't a success but lacks the virtues associated with a true Fiasco.

King of Comedy
is a great movie but it's also well-respected and something of a cult classic. I'd love to write about it (and see it again for that matter) but it most assuredly does not fit the criteria for this project. For my money "Bringing Out The Dead" is probably Scorsese's most underrated film, followed by…

Dubbing
Did anyone else who's seen this film notice that the dubbing seemed to be totally off for the first forty minutes or so? Much of the film seemed to be post-dubbed and they didn't seem to do a particularly good job of it either. Ray Allen has a fairly major supporting role, I liked Franken's cameo (then again I…

Various Loverboys
Looks like I'm not the only person who's seen the other "Loverboy" after all. Who knew it was so popular? Speaking of late-eighties Patrick Dempsey vehicles has anyone else seen "Some Girls" or "In the Mood"? My memory of each is fairly fuzzy but I thought those two were underrated.

Zardoz
I've always thought of "Zardoz" as something of a minor cult film but I haven't ruled out writing about it in a future entry. I'm all about caving in to the will of the people. I think we actually interviewed Boorman around the time "The General" came out but I'm not sure.

Tis/Tis not
Although it does seem ironic that the central joke of 1989's "Loverboy" involves the incongruity of an unassuming schmoe like Patrick Dempsey being a man-whore given the actor's current sex-god reputation. Also Vic Tayback was totally in that other movie.

Huzzah, sayeth I, huzzah
I very much enjoyed this post. Keep up the good work and/or rock-star uber-debauchery

For the record
I'd love to turn "My Year of Flops" into a book but there's nothing in the works at this time.

Oh, but think of the prize money!
I'm just glad that five thousand dollars in prize money is going to a plucky independent filmmaker who desperately needs it. Good Lord, five thousand dollars won't even cover his weekly backwards red baseball-hat budget.

Word
The less said about the giant deformed inbred man-children in filthy diapers the better. For much of the film Aykroyd really doesn't seem to be going for anything beyond "Yep, that sure is disgusting".

Devin's Dopest
I recommend seeking out Devin's guest appearances. They're all dope, especially "Greater Later", the song he did with J-Zone. Shout out to my man J-Zone. In terms of his solo albums "Waiting To Inhale" and "Just Tryin Ta Live" are his most immediately awesome albums. "The Dude" and "To The X-Treme" are…

D'oh
You're right. It was Powers, not Milland in the 1946 version. At least I look mildly less moronic making these errors in the comments section rather than the piece itself.

Tis true
It is an adaptation rather than a remake. I haven't read the novel or seen the 1947 version but I very much want to in part because I'm a big Ray Milland fan and "The Razor's Edge" certainly seemed ahead of its time in alot of the literary devices it employed.

Doobie Ashtray
That song's hella dope. It could also be the slowest beat Premier has ever done. He sounds all chopped and screwed and whatnot.

for the record
Films That Time Forgot is on hiatus, something that has nothing to do with this project. We all like Films That Time Forgot alot but didn't want it to grow stale. CTOTD, on the other hand, is still up and running.

I concur
I for one admire Toback's self-control in only masturbating several times a day. That pervy guy from American Apparel could learn something from him. And aren't all Toback's movies thinly veiled autobiographies?

Apologee/Movieline's Great Unproduced Scripts
Every time someone anonymously complains about my grammar and punctuation an angel gets its wings. Actually my "MYOF" pieces don't go through the rigorous editing and fact-checking process the rest of my work does (that's cuz it's on the blog) so I take full…

Fun fact
This movie was written by Alexander Payne and his writing partner, then re-written completely by idiots Adam Sandler went to college with. Guess whose sensibility is going to win out in the end?
