I think its Ito's best long form story, but then I'm a sucker for Cosmic Horror.

Dikembe Mutombo, baketball player

My memory is that he was a TV director who had a moneymaker lowbudget film (The Delinquents) that after a couple of middling results with other films got hired to direct M*A*S*H* which was a huge critical and commercial success. This led to a string of critically acclaimed but poor box office films (like Brewster McCloud, McCabe and Mrs. Miller, the Long Goodbye) mild hits (Nashville) and a major flop (Quintet). Because of the critical acclaim, he had a lot of admirers in Hollywood (like Ladd Company head, Alan Ladd jr) so continued to be sought after, but often with an attempt to attach him to a more commercial project. Comic based properties were hot in the late 70s. Robert Evans lost a bidding war over Annie which was already a popular Broadway musical, so decided to make his own comic strip movie musicsl and settled on Popeye. He hired Jules Fieffer, a well known cartoonist and fan of E. C. Segar's THIMBLE THEATER, where Popeye debuted. Evans planned for Dustin Hoffman to play Popeye, Lily Tomlin as Olive Oyl, and for it to be directed by John Schlesinger (Midnight Cowboy, Marathon Man). After all those people dropped out or passed (excepting Feiffer), Altman's people put him forward as the project was commercial but also playing to his strengths in ensemble storytelling. It was a huge hit but the troubles in production - clashes between Altman and Evans, between Altman and Williams (who threatened to walk), Altman and Harry Nilsson (who did walk), a number of script changes (including removal of the original end that would have had Bluto working for the Sea Hag, leading to a confrontation between her and Popeye), a storm that destroyed sets and a mechanical octopus that didn't work - would ensure that a sequel was never considered. Altman then settled into a pattern of critically acclaimed films with poor or middling box office punctuated by the occasional hit (Come Back to the Five and Dime, Jimmy Dean, Jimmy Dean, Gosford Park, The Player, Prêt-à-Porter).

Bad thing is, IIRC, they actually did practical effects for Thing 2011 but the studio required them to replace the practical effects with digital, and also cut the character development out of the film and use reshoots to clarify the narrative since the character development was gone.

They added some bike lanes here and they're being hogged by joggers who don't want to get behind slow pedestrians on the sidewalk in some places. Also shrunk a four lane road to two lanes + middle turn lane + bike lane and people have already wiped out the partition and hit a biker. 😕 EDIT to say, this Eurotrip sequel has less comedy hijinks in it than the original. Nice to get a sequel out on the 20th anniversary of the original, but really needs more comedy hijinks. kthnxbai. just kidding, nice pictures, glad you had a good time.

I felt this way about a lot of Italian genre films until I just started saying "dream logic" and stopped thinking about it. Fulci is really, really bad in this way, but I actually like his films as I just roll with 'em.

I'm curious to see that one; your description is pretty much what I thought it'd be from the trailer (albeit, without the disapointment!)

I saw Alien: Romulus. Enjoyed it pretty well.

Yeah neither Gore or Tinto's version is being restored, which is very interesting for this type of project. I'd imagine Videl would be against it too if he was around.

I thought I wasn't in the cinema thread for a bit there... Anyhow, I'm excited for the 'restoration' of Caligula - a film infamously spliced with hard core footage and edited into a nonsensical narrative that made noone happy. Not directly restored to the (competing) visions of either writer Gore Vidal or director Tinto Brass, but somewhere in between trying to put back the narrative and preserve the performances that were lost in Bob Guiccione's version. Famously Malcolm McDowell disagreed with Videl on Caligula's motives and his performance was always alleged to be not only really good (I believe McDowell has said it might be his besr) but altered the interpretation of the story. Other actors saw their performances chopped - none worse than Helen Mirren who was all but edited out of the film.
