Re: [ILoveIshtar] Re: Oh, is that right!

thanks for posting that.

i just joined the list yesterday so clicked around to see the other images and found the review by this michael giltz fellow, which is astounding in its abject shallowness and totally literal reading of this great and subtle comedy! aside from the blatantly sexist comments (did it *really* set "women" directors back ten years?), the guy complains that the songs are bad(!) and that he's subjected to a LOT of them. like...um. duh?

i hadn't seen it in at least 10 years but watched it on christmas day with my boyfriend, who had claimed to be a fan--what a great bonding experience: turns out we were both impressed at how much better it was than we'd recalled it! i hadn't remembered the cinematography being so artful (i googled it to learn that vittorio storaro had won oscars for reds, last emperor and apocalypse now, had NO idea) and that the humor held up, lo these 21 years! i know i'm preaching to the choir on this list, but it's such a sad story on one hand (the studio head who comes in halfway through shooting, has a grudge against warren beatty and dustin hoffman, is curmudgeonly about it being overbudget and the LADY director and leaks negativity to the press pre-release thus ensuring bad reviews) and yet, had it not been so universally reviled, folks probably wouldn't have such a proud and almost defiant allegiance to this movie, which, to my mind, is on par with any cult comedy classic like 'caddyshack', 'meatballs', or 'airplane', totally ahead of its time. i am not exaggerating!

if so-called "uncomfortable" humor like the office or seinfeld had already been part of cultural consciousness, it probably would have been hugely popular, but folks just didn't know how to deal with something so subtle and self-consciously "bad".

my dream is for a remake. with hm...matt damon and ben affleck, and maybe angelina jolie?

okay, in your wildest dreams, who would you have play lyle and chuck? i know this is a blatant attempt to get some activity on this list, but hey, it's after xmas and before new years, what else are you doing?

kind regards,
heather

[ILoveIshtar] Welcome to a new member!

Hey Heather, what a great idea! We watched Santa Claus Conquers The Martians on Christmas, and even with the MST3000 voiceover, it was just tedious. I think Ishtar for Christmas would make a much better tradition.

This is a great group, though pretty darn quiet. It's hard to find new Ishtar news these days... we keep hoping for a break... A soundtrack CD, or at least Ishtar on DVD with some special features...

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Fwd: Pop songs dealing with seduction or deception needed for Drama film

"The woman abducts and tortures the man in attempt to extract money from him."

I hate it when they do that! It must have happened to me at least 50 times last year.

BTW, these things always look so promising... I did a song on Lulina's last cd that might work for this - but you're supposed to pay these people.

But I was curious when I saw they said they had mtv as a client for a song a while back. I wrote to every email address for mtv I could find on the web. I actually got some replies. Every one of them said that mtv doesn't use intermediaries, anybody with music for any of their programs should write directly to them.

I confronted these Broadjam people with this information, and they ignored me.

So don't be taken in by these guys, there is no way to tell if some or all of their other "opportunities" are as bogus as the one I checked out. They usually don't give you enough information to find out who to contact directly, like this one here, it appears to be some kind of a horrid "Fatal Attraction" knockoff...

[ItsAllAboutMeMan] Re: [MIDI-support] rate my breasts plz

Hi Melisent

Thanks for the nice thoughts and I appreciate you directing me to those pictures. I think you and your breasts are very attractive, and I'd like to feature you and your breasts in a video of my song "My Girlfriend Has Really, Really Big Breasts."

I can't afford to pay you much, but I can get you a new bra or something.

Let me know!

Thanks

Matt

[ILoveIshtar] Oh, is that right!

You have to squint a bit to read this poster, but it's worth the
effort. Here's more evidence that several reviewers liked Ishtar...
before, for whatever reason, people figured out they better say they
hated it...
