I didn't mean to imply all is dire on the web vis-à-vis (did you know the French have no word for vis-à-vis? Particularly Isabelle Adjani. But I digress) Ishtar.
I ran across this cool reference just the other day:
http://ilovethiswor
This is the blog of one René Garcia, Jr. and he does a great job of showing the love, particularly for the great Lyle song Portable Picnic. I'll leave it to you to read the blog yourself, but I wanted to comment on some of the comments.
Woooo hoooo, way to stick up for Ishtar, Mr. Garcia!
and check this one out:

I love Ishtar!!! And Ive watched it countless times too. Before we knew it was so cool to think Ishtar was a 'bad' movie, we saw it on its release with friends and went back the next night because we thought is was so funny!!! One of these high school friends just emailed me about this post because she know it would make me very happy, and it does! Ishtar friends last.
And the songs are fabulous.
__.I wish there were better web sites on the web for Ishtar, but alas I
couldn't find any that were worth mentioning.
It's a shame that this film gets so panned by everyone and most of
them haven't even seen it! They just look at it because it was a box
office bomb, who cares? A lot of good movies didn't score well at the
box office. I just saw Zodiac and that was awesome despite the poor
box office returns. Ishtar is just such a film. A great movie with
great actors and then it winds up failing making much money.
Hope someone else can find better links out there!
