Famously (depending on your definition of “fame”) the only Roger Corman film that lost money.

It’s all subjective, isn’t it?

No, I have documented sources and signed affidavits by the crew…of course it’s all subjective! 🤣 🤣 🤣 Then again, film critics and the public were unanimous in their opinion and the film flopped, soooooo there’s that.

Was it this movie or Meatballs where he chanted, “It just doesn’t matter”?

And with this, sarcastic or sincere, you’ve proved my point. Murray, at this point in his career, was more famous for leading the chant “it just doesn’t matter” (Meatballs) or for goading John Candy to mudwrestle, “You’re a lean…mean…FIGHTING…MACHINE!” (Stripes)

And to think, he did Ghostbusters just to get financing for this vanity project. Hey, we all like what we like and later make up reasons for it. Cheers!

No, much as I would have liked this film to work, it didn’t and Bill Murray was the main reason.

Murray, like De Niro or even Steve Martin (see The Spanish Prisoner), has a distinct presence, a style, an “scent” if you will, and his style was definitely not suited for this role, especially for that point in Murray’s career. Like George Reeves’ uncredited role in From Here To Eternity (the audience in 1953 kept expecting Reeves to rip open his shirt and fly off) it seemed that Murray was always on the verge of breaking into “lounge singer” mode or at least delivering some withering, sarcastic punchline.

In later years, directors such as Wes Anderson and Sofia Coppola found how to mix that characteristic Murray flavor into the stew.

OK, I’ll bite. You got something more substantial than “I read it on the internet” to back that up? One reputable source on your accusation? Not sayin’ you’re lying/wrong, just asking for some verifiable proof.

Why is it every time I see English food in a film/TV show it basically looks like vomit on a plate?

Nothing personal. Tell me I’m wrong.

As if they’re not having enough trouble with hosting “questionable” content! You obviously didn’t read the torrentfreak article making the rounds.

Internet Archive != the Pirate Bay.

For now, DON’T contaminate the IA with the Classic Chicago Television channel.

HA! I knew I wasn’t the only one! Which browser/OS?

Well, thanks for being part of the problem.
