The Movie Ishtar
Current mood: blank

I love the movie Ishtar, and I want to see it come out on DVD, with
lots of extra features, and also want the soundtrack to come out. I am
very encouraged that there are more and more Ishtar fans coming out of
the closet, and proudly and boldly proclaiming their affection for
this funny and clever movie. I think that Hoffman and Beatty are at
their best in this movie. While it was great to see them together
again in Dick Tracy, it's too bad that the movie did so poorly that a
sequel was forever out of the question. At least, to paraphrase
Humphrey Bogart in that other great desert classic, "We'll always have
Ishtar."

If you feel the same way way I do about this under-appreciated
classic, please join my Yahoo group, "I Love Ishtar"

by sending an e-mail to ILoveIshtar-subscribe@yahoogroups.com

and lets get started!

Dustin Hoffman and Warren Beatty were at their best in Ishtar?

Dude, you're on drugs.

Have you forgotten about 'The Graduate' or 'Bonnie & Clyde'? What about Beatty's work in the classic series, 'The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis'?

I saw 'Ishtar' when it was first shown on HBO, and while that was so long ago that I can't remember specifics about the film, I certainly don't recall thinking that it was the best performance by either actor.

I maintain they were at the top of their game. I didn't mean that their performances exceeded those other ones you mentioned, but equalled them.  I have to concede that the stark realism, the moments of tight knuckle tension and the cathartic release in explosive violence that characterized Beatty's work in "Dobie Gillis" wasn't on my mind when I wrote that, but I stand by it because this is my blog, and I'm the decider here. 

Most people who are haven't climbed aboard the Ishtar bandwagon are people who barely remember it, or have never seen it. So forget what you think you know about Ishtar, get with the countdown, shake this square world, and blast off for kicksville

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: This has to be totally ineffective...

My first reaction would be that they may stop because it has inspired
them to get out of the virtual world and into the real one, and start
playing this game in real life. But NOBODY should EVER do that. That
would be wrong.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Fwd: [canadianclassicrock] TV Seance: John Lennon asks for...peace..and buy Garwoods CD

well, yoko doesn't like it so it must be good. Actually, before the fact, I thought that I read that this was done with her cooperation, so it's interesting to know that ms. crystal healing didn't sign on.

But seriously, it must be real, because John Lennon asked for peace, so I mean, c'mon, you couldn't just make that stuff up.  John Lennon asking for peace?  Didn't see that one coming.  It must have been real, to come up with such a specific, and unexpected message.

Do you think he asked for love, too?

The only part I'm skeptical about is about buying Garwood's CDs. I fully expected that he would endorce Dweebish downloads!

TV seance: Lennon asks for...peace 2 hours, 10 minutes ago

By Sue Zeidler
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - "Peace ... The Message is Peace."
That's what the producers of a pay-television seance to contact John Lennon claimed the former Beatle said when communicating with them from beyond the grave.
The show aired on Monday on pay-TV service In Demand and was organized by the producers of a failed 2003 attempt to channel the late Princess Diana's spirit, a show that earned scathing reviews but was estimated to have grossed close to $8 million.
People who paid $9.95 to watch the pay-per-view Lennon special from 9 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. saw audio crew members, a psychic and an expert in paranormal activity claim that the late Beatle's spirit made contact with them through what is described as an Electronic Voice Phenomenon (EVP).
The EVP was discovered during a taping of a seance at La Fortuna restaurant in New York, which Lennon frequented.
The show's organizers said psychic Joe Power's voice feed went dead for a few seconds and the message was found on it when the tape of the voice feed was played back.
EVP is based on a belief that spirit voices communicate through radio and TV broadcast signals.
On the television show, filming at La Fortuna suddenly stopped and a narrator said something odd has happened. Show participants said that a mysterious voice can be heard on Power's voice feed.
The producers called in "EVP specialist" Sandra Belanger to examine the voice and she proclaimed it Lennon's.
Producer Paul Sharratt, who heads Starcast Productions and calls himself a skeptic, said hearing the voice has made him a believer.
The program was made without the knowledge or consent of Lennon's estate or his widow Yoko Ono, who declined comment.
Ono's long-time friend and spokesman Elliot Mintz has called the entire exercise "tacky, exploitative and far removed" from Lennon's way of life. "A pay-per-view seance was never his style," said Mintz.
Lennon was assassinated by a deranged fan in New York 25 years ago.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Oprah, Bill Gates and the Privatization of Public Schools

In addition to sharing the writers skepticism about billionaires
reshaping the country's educational agenda, I wonder why anybody takes
the pronouncements on education by mediocre students like Bill Gates
and George W Bush seriously.

Weekend Edition
April 15 / 16, 2006

Oprah, Bill Gates and the Privatization of Public Schools

What Billionaires Mean by Education Reform

By SETH SANDRONSKY

Recently, talk show host Oprah Winfrey focused on "America's Education
Crisis." Bill Gates, Microsoft co-founder, and his wife, Melinda, were
guests. Stand Up is their national campaign to improve education for
youth.

Does Oprah know that the $27 billion Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation
also gave $4 million dollars to the Sacramento City Unified School
District for "educational reform?"

For the context of this donation we turn to the district's Sacramento
High School. There, students, scores on standardized tests were low.

Officially, such exams are the best measure of what modern education
can provide to the nation's youth. Crucially, the SCUSD had taken
state funds to improve SHS students, test scores. Subsequently, the
scores lacked the desired improvement.

SHS risked becoming a "failed school." Later to avoid state sanctions,
the district decided to close SHS, located in the low-income, largely
nonwhite neighborhood of Oak Park.

Against that backdrop, Starbucks Corp. and inflated home prices are
sprouting in this gentrifying area.

Meet former NBA star Kevin Johnson of the Phoenix Suns, a SHS grad,
and a guest on Oprah's recent show. Retired from pro hoops, he was
tapped to improve the education of SHS students, heading up the St.
Hope Development Corporation. SHS was re-opened by KJ's corporation,
which has run it as a charter school, praised on the Winfrey show.

Significantly, many SHS parents and labor union members opposed the
school's privatization. Parents formed the Sacramento Coalition to
Save Public Education. Some SHS teachers did not want to work without
a union contract for a corporation.

Legitimizing the drive to privatize SHS was The Sacramento Bee, the
city,s one daily paper for over a decade. The McClatchy Co. publishes
The Bee. The Sacramento-based publisher is also the pending buyer of
Knight Ridder Inc., the 12 union papers of which are on the selling
block.

KJ's corporation, in the context of "seed money" taken by the SCUSD
from the Gates Foundation, took over a public high school and weakened
labor unions. In the language of the market, non-union labor is more
"flexible," making it is easier for bosses to fire workers. This
flexibility also weakens the political power of teachers' unions.

Oprah's recent two-part "special report" on the crisis in U.S. public
schools included this gem: "I've often said that I believe that
education is freedom." Presumably, this includes freedom for
billionaires to shape school reform as they see fit. But freeing
public education by turning it over to corporations is no freedom at
all.

Seth Sandronsky is a member of Sacramento Area Peace Action and a
co-editor of Because People Matter, Sacramento's progressive paper. He
can be reached at ssandron@hotmail.com

[CanYoAssDigIt] Vultures of one sort or another...

I've been trolling the web a lot, looking for other people who are
enthusiastic fans of Ishtar, to ask them to join this list. I've been
reading a lot of opinions of the movie... they diverge so wildly that
I sometimes wonder if there weren't several different movies called
"Ishtar," and the whole thing was some sort of sociological
experiment.

I remember hearing (from more than one source) about the obvious
bloopers involving the vultures in the desert... how you could see
that the bored and disinterested vultures were being tossed into the
scene by handlers just outside the frame.

When I finally saw the movie, I expected to see footprints, a person's
shadow coming into the frame, perhaps even a hand... but I didn't see
any of these things, and in fact, no evidence at all that the vultures
were being tossed in. I felt stupid, unobservant - I was an unworthy
movie watcher. Did anybody else on this list experience anything
similar?

Anyway, this is what they NY Times reviewer said about that scene in a
review that came out on the film's release:

"The film's budget may well be a matter of outtakes and overtime,
since the huge expense doesn't show up on the screen. Did it take Miss
May, for one desert scene, 50 attempts to get the right shot of big,
fat, patient-looking vultures flopping down next to her stars? If it
did, it was worth it, because she got scene-stealing vulture behavior
in the end. ''No, no, no - not dead, just resting!'' Lyle angrily
tells them, while Chuck voices some memorable disbelief at the way
these birds do business. Miss May has a way of letting the same basic
attitudes carry over to anyone, feathered or otherwise, anywhere."

This is the version of this scene that I saw, and this was reported in
the NY Times when that still meant something.

It's interesting, overall it was a reasonable review, so the piling on
about "worst movie ever made" must have started elsewhere. Later the
Times clearly joined in the chorus.

[CanYoAssDigIt] People think all I do is complain...

I only complain when there is something to complain about, which is a
lot. but when something good happens, I can pretend to be happy as
well as anybody else.

For example, I recently had to resort to PayPal's online help. Boy
were they good. I pretended to be happy to fill out their survey. A
couple of questions and answers:

"What one thing could PayPal do to improve its customer service?"
I can't think of a single way. well, maybe perhaps a little humor as
in "hey, that's such a stupid question, are you the result of an alien
breeding experiment with a three toed sloth? but seriously customer, I
don't care what all the other paypal answerers say, I think your
swell. " but some people might not like that, so just stick to the
very quick, very courteous and very helpful responses, like the one
you gave me.

"Please tell us one thing that the representative did especially well."
I wasn't sure how to use the online forms. I wasn't sure I selected
the right topics. and I'm not sure I described the problem well. the
representative figured out exactly what my problem was, and told me
exactly what I needed to do to solve it, and much sooner than I
expected.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Television

my immersion in TV continues. My God.

First Will and Grace? This show is supposed to be gay friendly? One
gay character is a ridiculous clown who does far gays what all of
Minstrelsy did for blacks. The other gay character, who is in the
title, was a total asswipe. It's a good thing the show is gay
positive; any less positive and they'd be beating the hell out of them
and then hanging them on barbed wire fence in Texas to die.

Next was a double shot of "My Name Is Earl." It does exceeds
Minstrelsy for defamation, in this case, the rustic element. It was
so unspeakably vile, for once I can't go on talking about it.

And the stuff on all the other available channels didn't look any better.

I flew to the electronic arms of my computer for solace. I left my
wife with her broken leg to struggle out of the room as she best
could.

I am indeed glad that I've been watching more TV (thanks Mike, if you
are reading this). I had no idea how totally dire the situation is.
Somebody that votes 50 times a show on American Idol must be happy as
a pig in shit (a very apt metaphor) but for the small minority that
still have cognitive function, it's hell.

In fact, I believe that this is all part of Dubya's plot... the
pathetic remnent that still believes in civil society, the rule of
law, logic, reason, fairness and other chimeras, will be forced to
yield, begging for Dubya's buddies in China and the UAE to come in and
take over, and just fucking stop this excrement from flowing out of
our TVs through our eyes and ears, and into our brains. It is an
insidious plan, and diabolical in it's cleverness. Never mind, it
can't be Dubya, it must be Cheney.

and now, for another perspective, from a guy who doesn't hate TV, he
loves it (but please note, he agrees with my wife and me about Gray's
Anatomy - did I not call out about that show being a piece of shit
before Humpy did?)...

I Love TV
Faster, TV Set... Kill! Kill!

BY WM.™ STEVEN HUMPHREY

Though my reputation may lead you to believe otherwise, I do not wish
"death" upon anyone. Okay, maybe I do wish death upon Dr. Phil—but
C'MON! That balding, pear-shaped dickhole is a blight upon humankind,
and needs to have his head shoved into the bottom of a
gastrointestinally challenged donkey. But hey! I'm not a cruel
man—that's why I would sympathetically and quickly end his life with a
jalapeño enema. Does anyone have a fire hose?

Oh, don't you DARE look at me like I'm a jerk! If you've been watching
the hit show 24 lately (Fox, Mondays, 9 pm), then you know they've
been killing off our fave characters with the gusto of a fat kid
guzzling a can of Hershey's syrup. They've already killed poor
President Palmer and hottie former CTU agent Michelle Dessler. And in
recent weeks, terrorists have gassed most of the CTU staff out of
existence, including chubby comic relief Edgar, and annoying bossman
Lynn McGill. But the most shocking death was stud-monkey and former I
Love Television™ "TV Character of the Year," Tony Almeida (Carlos
Bernard), who was unceremoniously stabbed by that prick Peter Weller
(in his best role since RoboCop).

Why the wholesale slaughter? According to 24's exec producer Howard
Gordon in TV Guide, "You run out of road with a character and then
boom, you've got to clean house. Even our regulars are not immune."
THANK YOU, HOWARD GORDON. He knows that TV shows eventually run out of
creative juice because producers are too chickenshit to do the right
thing and kill off major (and boring) characters. In fact, I can think
of a pantload of characters that need to be killed—and the sooner the
better! For example...

• Marissa on The O.C. (Fox, Thursdays, 9 pm). This walking case of
postnasal drip has been inadvertently destroying lives on The O.C.
since the get-go—and still? Everyone acts like it's not her fault that
Ryan keeps getting into trouble, and surfer Johnny was crippled and
then hopped off a cliff! O.C. producers: MURDER MARISSA COOPER—BEFORE
SHE KILLS AGAIN!

• The entire cast of Grey's Anatomy (ABC, Sundays, 10 pm). What do
people see in this show?!? Anytime these characters open their stupid
mouths, I want to stick a pencil in my eye! And so... they must be
stopped! (Maybe 24 can lend the Anatomy producers some of that poison
gas?)

• BJ and Tyler from The Amazing Race (CBS, Tuesdays, 10 pm). Okay, so
they're not actual "TV characters"—but they are HIPPIES. And I fawking
HATE hippies! You can almost smell the patchouli whenever these two
longhaired, dope-huffing, Burning Man burnouts make an onscreen
appearance. To the producers of The Amazing Race: I will happily help
you guys lure these stinky hippies into some sort of unfortunate
"accident." In fact, I'll even provide the gastrointestinally
challenged donkey! recommended

www.soundclick.com/SongPoet .

I think you will find that the music is somewhat reminiscent of
Dickens and his... well, his whole thing.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Fwd: [canadianclassicrock] Walmart Scam

I don't know how many of you shop at Wal-Mart, but this may be useful to know.

I am posting this to you to warn you of something that happened to

me, as I have become a victim of a clever scam while out shopping.

Here's how the scam works:

Two good-looking 18-year-old girls come over to your car as you are
packing your shopping bags in the trunk.

They both start wiping your window with a rag and Windex, with skimpy
t-shirts on. It is impossible not to look.

When you thank them and offer them a tip, they say 'No' and instead
ask you for a ride to another Wal-Mart. You agree and they get in the
back seat.

On the way, they start having sex with each other. Then one of them
climbs over into the front seat and has her way with you, while the
other one steals your wallet.

I had my wallet stolen last Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, twice on
Friday, and again on Saturday.

BE CAREFUL!!!!!!

[CanYoAssDigIt] Patti LaBelle

Patti LaBelle obviously hasn't been paying attention for the last six years. What you are supposed to do is whine that "this is a hard job," but then turn around and boast that this is the best show you've ever seen, and you are lucky to be there, and you must be some kind of deviant if you don't think so.

90% of the audience will agree with you at first. by the end, only a third will, but what do you care you got your money.

Singer Patti LaBelle weeps on stage
Associated Press
 
RIVIERA BEACH, Fla. - Rhythm-and-blues diva Patti LaBelle struggled through a weekend show after taking the stage at midnight, at one point sitting down and crying.
 
"I've never been this embarrassed in my life," LaBelle told the crowd Saturday at the Riviera Beach Jazz and Blues Festival. "This sucks. It's the worst show I've ever done in my life."
 
As temperatures dipped into the low 50s, LaBelle explained that she's nearly 62 and has diabetes and a heart murmur, and the cold weather simply wasn't agreeing with her.
 
The Grammy-winning singer tried to belt out a few notes, then told fans huddled under blankets that she understood if they walked out on her.
 
A steady stream of people left the show during her 45 minutes on stage after having waited hours through opening acts.
 
"I've never ever given you less than I can give. I'm gonna give you everything you deserve," she said.
 
LaBelle struggled through "Lady Marmalade" with assistance from a few in the crowd, sang some gospel songs and "On My Own" before retreating.

[CanYoAssDigIt] The Stranger's Spectacularly Bad Taste (and Timing)

In last week's issue of The Stranger (a free Seattle rag) still
available for pick up around town, they ran one of their "NEW
COLUMN(s)" - a "Kaption Kontest! Below is a cartoon by Danny Hellmann,
which is in need of a caption. Have a look, consult your brain, and
send your..."

The cartoon depicted a man holding a handgun, spattered with blood,
with the bloody corpses of his victims in the living room that
provides the background.

I would have included the cartoon (which I would snag off their
website) but they already took it down:

"We're Sorry!
The page you're looking for does not seem to exist.

As you have undoubtedly noticed, we've been doing some shuffling
around here and the page you're looking for seems to have gone
missing. Please use the search field below to find what you're looking
for."

If you don't live in Seattle, you may not know the inescapable story
all week is that last Saturday night a man opened fire on party goers
in a living room in a house in Capitol Hill, massacring several
people.

The cartoon was in astonishingly bad taste on its own, in the next
context it was thrust into, it was completely beyond...

I don't have anything against bad taste, I'm a user and dealer myself.
I don't understand why hipsters adore the Stranger and revile me, but
what can you do?

The editors of The Stranger demonstrated that they don't even have the
courage of their own (sick) convictions by taking the picture down. I
suppose they've even cancelled the contest. It's a shame, the caption
I came up with for it was a killer.

[CanYoAssDigIt] Re: [MIDIChat] Scary Theme

sorry, didn't scare me as much as  4 more years of republicans - now that scares the shit out of me.  I can only hope that voters just say no to Dick Cheney, Jeb Bush, Bob McCain, Condolleezza Rice, and any other right wing thug or pirate that's thinking about running. And the Supreme Court and the people that make the voting machines let us have the person we vote for.

BTW, was it this list where I said that there was something wrong with anybody who didn't think they could do a better job than the current regime in dealing with disasters, and there was a massive response from people eager to say that they indeed are less competent (and who wanted me to lie and say the same thing about myself)?

Well, it it was - how do you feel about it now?  Do you still want people to think you are so stupid and incompetent?

[CanYoAssDigIt] horrible horrible tv

I will never forget Mike Mitchell recommending watching more TV, to
get in touch with the psyche of the American people. I'm sure he
thought it would make me a better American.

Not due to his recommendation, but due to circumstances beyond my
control, I am around TV a lot these days.

It has been an educational experience for me. I am now in touch with
the American psyche, and I am deeply, deeply afraid. What a bunch of
sick fucks the American people are.

Suffering the some Jim Belushi abortion, and the brain eating zombies
of Hope and Grace, I can say with certainty that there will be a big
improvement when the Chinese are running things and they outlaw all
his horrible shit.

It is true that they will probably also take away my pornography,
which is good and true and honest (unlike the sewage that spews out of
network TV) but you have to take the bad with the good.

A country that produces TV this bad is incapable of balancing budgets,
acting intelligently in foreign affairs, saving drowning people,
keeping jobs from going overseas, providing medical care for the sick
and elderly, running their own ports, responding to climate change.

It's all over, folks. It's been a nice ride.
