The Vacation movies are on constant rotation on cable, so Holiday Road will have just played whenever it is Lindsey Buckingham checks out.

Great song, but one of the most annoying commercials ever.
As far as vanity projects go, I’ve seen worse.
They should call these guys.
The only creative process the suits care about is creating a profit.
Honestly, there are movies that simply cannot be made any better with a modern reboot. Easy Rider is one of them, for the reasons stated in the article. It’s of a specific time and place. Recasting a film set in 1969 to the 2020s seriously misses the point.
I was never a big Walker, Texas Ranger fan, which explains why I just now realized that the same guy played Sundown, Theo, AND Trivette.
Bullitt was based on a pulp detective novel. The story isn’t terrible, but there really isn’t much in it that distinguishes it from any other generic detective story in the ‘60s. Bullitt’s defining attributes are McQueen and the chase scene.
Ford v Ferrari was the movie McQueen wished Le Mans could have been.
If you enjoy cinematic effects created before CGI was even a twinkle in George Lucas’ eye, it’s Hitchcock every day of the week and twice on Sunday. All of the effects in Hitchcock’s films were practical effects, done with props or utilizing lighting, angles and lens work.
Indeed. Bullitt was a Steve McQueen showcase—the story didn’t really matter all that much.
It’s definitely a case of the sequel being better than the original, but then the bar was pretty low.
At least I got what most of Bullitt was actually about, it was just a pedestrian story. I lost interest in Tron so quickly that I’ve never actually watched it all the way through.
Double feature.
He may have some civil liability, though that seems to have been headed that off at the pass when the production company settled with Hutchins’ widower and made him an executive producer for the film.
Oh yes. There will be speaking fees.
It’s still better than the Theranos stunt was. People don’t usually end up in prison from book tours.
