Excluding the Simpsons what are the most embarrassing attempts by gone-to-seed creators at trying to remain hip and relevant? I'm reminded of how John Wayne starred in a Vietnam war movie, when the actual Vietnam war was still going. A practically senile Groucho Marx showed up in a movie full of geezers, that tried appealing to a sixties audience by having loads of hippies show up and exhibiting a completely oblivious depiction of LSD. What's telling beyond the aging cast-members of these movies is the stiff and formulaic camerawork as if nobody wanted to get out of their chairs. For every George Miller ageing gracefully there are ten Ridley Scotts chugging stupid-pills and making Alien sequels. Inspector Gesicht has a new favorite as of 02:56 on Jun 10, 2020 |

Inspector Gesicht posted:Excluding the Simpsons what are the most embarrassing attempts by gone-to-seed creators at trying to remain hip and relevant? The Man Who Shot Liberty Valence isn't what you're looking for but I have to call it out. Mainly call John Wayne out. John Wayne, notable for playing a soldier in a bunch of propaganda movies, portrays a grizzled gunslinging cowboy who Knows How Things Work Out Here, in the famous western. James Stewart portrays a naive city-slicking lawyer who doesn't understand the bold frontier. John Wayne was a lying fash until the day he died, and never faced any struggle in his life. James Stewart is a WW2 combat veteran. He was famous before WW2, and he fought against his superiors who wanted him to stay home and make propaganda videos. He insisted he'd fight, and is very well recorded to have participated in combat missions against the actual goddam nazis. He remains the most military-decorated Hollywood actor.

Polygon did a great write-up about that trainwreck. It's amazing that they got a coherent movie out of any of it. Apparently Capcom loved it. Poor Raul Julia was basically holding the entire thing together and he just wanted to make a movie his kids would like before he died.

Inspector Gesicht posted:Excluding the Simpsons what are the most embarrassing attempts by gone-to-seed creators at trying to remain hip and relevant? Marx actually tried LSD to prep for the film, which was Skidoo. He also thought the film was horrible. Mae West has already been mentioned. Lucille Ball's last attempt at a sitcom in the 1980s was said to be pretty bad. I haven't sought out clips of it. Danny Thomas also had a bad sitcom attempt in the 1980s, but the episode I've seen wasn't so much painfully bad as just boringly bad. Norman Lear's attempts to recreate the magic of All in the Family and The Jeffersons got painfully worse as years went on. He had one last attempt in the 1990s. There's this description of 704 Hauser: quote:Norman Lear created the series during the time when conservative talk radio was experiencing its initial upswing in popularity in the United States, particularly in the form of Rush Limbaugh. Lear felt that the time was right for a new show to explore some of the issues being discussed, and 704 Hauser was even more explicitly political than All in the Family. It lasted five episodes in 1994. On a slightly different line than Skidoo, Tom Laughlin's Billy Jack movies. Laughlin's line of thinking in these films isn't that out of whack for the times, but they are indeed of their times when viewed now. Note that I have not seen any of Billy Jack Goes to Washington.

Stewart has double Murphy's acting credits and started in the early 30s. Murphy was in 50 movies, mostly Westerns. On the other hand, Stewart was a much better actor and was in consistently better movies than Murphy.

Hey now, it was implied this was late-life projects where they sucked, not late life projects that sucked. I just watched that awful movie last weekend and Raul Julia’s performance was still fantastic. Shame about every other part of the movie though. If you’re wondering why I was watching that turd, I had just watched the first Mortal Kombat movie and thought it would be a good double feature. Watching MK right before it really just made Street Fighter feel worse in every way, MK is legitimately a really fun B-movie with a lot of good performances and cool visual design.

This made me check something, and yep, ‘Song Of The South’ has people on IMDB clamouring for a re-release. It has 93 ‘10’ scores, from people who don’t see what the problem is, against 6 scores of 3 or below.

Jedit posted:This is ridiculous. Wayne is unduly idolised, but True Grit and The Shootist are both arguably in the top 10 westerns ever made. John Wayne in True Grit got outacted by the guy with no acting experience that they casted when Elvis bailed. John Wayne also almost bailed on the film because his decades of acting experience did not prepare him for the daunting task of playing a slightly different cowboy and they wouldn't let him bring in his personal screenwriter to turn it into a generic John Wayne movie. There is no reason to ever watch the John Wayne version again now that somebody did a version with somebody who can actually act. I didn't make it all the way through the Shootist because I didn't want to watch 2 hours of people sucking John Wayne's dick because they felt bad that he was about to die. Honestly it's disgusting that they gave John Wayne an Oscar for butchering the work of a blacklisted author considering he had a role in getting several people blacklisted himself. It's funny that Gone With the Wind got away with it for so long just by having all the KKK scenes happen just off screen.
