Cap'n Tragedy

Finally leading to that U2/The Alarm v. The Pogues/The Men They Could Not Hang cage fight I think we've always needed to see.

When Shields and Yarnell, and Pink Lady and Jeff, could get a show. Like anyone could just wander into NBC and they'd go, "Sure. Why not? Is an hour and a half good for you?"

Holy shit. Another one I -and time!- forgot. Both that movie and Jessica Simpson's brief ubiquity.

Oh yeah.. You'll find lots of people who are utterly unaware that Kris ever had a music career, which is fucking tragic.

I wondered about that.

Hey, that's a nice thought experiment: what was the first movie you ever saw that you knew for a fact was crap?
Mine was some lesser Gene Wilder film that I don't remember the title of.

Oh christ, that scene. And of course, Neil in blackface AND AFRO WIG, singing, "Baby baby bay-bee…"

Elvis as pseudo-psychedelic wanderer in 'Live A Little, Love A Little.'

So, Janet Maslin thought Sting was the only good thing about 'Dune,' eh?
That's weird, isn't it?

True. A great movie. Look for Ann Magnuson as the cigarette girl whose face you never see.

Continuing the long run of terrible movies filmed in Portland, Or. And when production moved to Olympia, Wa., a protest outside then turned against the set of "Body…" and the director came out and said, "We agree with everything you're saying," at which point the crowd made it clear that they really had nothing

Never heard of it. But, Does D.A.C. do what he usually does, i.e. talk endlessly about David Allan Coe?

Steve Vai is the devil's Eddie!

Never saw all of it, but you can tell the intent was somewhere near The Right Place.

Kinda like Madonna already had 'Desperately Seeking Susan.'

Paul Nicholas certainly had a career until that thing happened to him. At the time (when I was seven), I assumed it would finish Steve Martin as any sort of movie-type. Heh.

I also saw it while seven. Man, I couldn't even do it back then.

FM wasn't bad, as I recall. Just boring. Martin Mull! Still not funny.

And its cinematic cousin, 'Skatetown, U.S.A.' Linda Blair's entry to the pop-music/dance craze game, and I was gonna say Steve Guttenberg, but that was 'Can't Stop The Music,' of course.
