The worst film ever made? I did suffer through some of Heaven's Gate this weekend and that, at least, was watchable (principally during the many, extended scenes wherein Isabelle jiggled her pert breasts), occasionally. It was painful to watch ol' Kris work so hard to "act."
The L A, on the other hand, had nothing to recommend it. Angelica looked like a cadaver. She still tries to wear her hair pitch black and long and squeeze into tight dresses. The appearance is one of an unsuccessful attempt to control a large, thick tube of 5-weight oil with a snug girdle: the bulges and sags have no apparent relation to the human figure.
And what of my favorite comedian, fresh from his triumph in Lost in Translation? Egad. That can't be Bill up there, can it, breezing his way through his lines and scenes as if he were doing an extended Scotch commercial.
I don't want to waste to much of your time or mine in trashing this piece of flotsam: avoid it like a hot tub immediately after the 5-yr. olds have played in it.
Follow Ups:
...I found it clever, ironic, mostly entertaining and at times even humerous. You kind of have to sit back, relax and just let it wash over you without expecting too much. I think you have to appreciate Bill Murray and his sense of humor first. Then it helps to have seen a Jacques Cousteau special or two in their day. The film's not for everybody. And some films acheive their effect more successfully on the big screen (where there are fewer distractions to upset the mood) than video.
was poorly done.
But, I'm no Anderson fan...
...hated "Lost in Translation", too.
I have seen L in T three times and am looking forward to the next. These films, you must realize, have zero in common.

> But, I'm no Anderson fan...This would have been useful information in the original review. I know a lot of people who really like his work, and some who hate it. It's really a unique style, or at least emalgam, of directing, and not to everyone's taste.

efforts and favor the newest. I gave valid reasons for my dislike.
1) Angelica Houston looking like cadaver, and
2) Bill Murray breezing through his lines?
They are two of the main actors so if they suck...Now, if Angelica was trying to look funny, ok. But her appearance had NO sense of irony, but:
Neither did the movie and that's enough of a specific reason to discount it, for me.
But, go ahead and buy it. Sometimes a work is so outrageously bad that one searches for reasons to prove it. Hey, you probably love Ishtar.
For an example of the worst movie ever made, Ishtar is old and busted.New hotness: Manos, Hands of Fate.
And I have the proof , too. C'mon, Ishtar isn't even on that list.
/*Music is subjective. Sound is not.*/
You know...I caught it in the theatres when it was being universally panned. It really wasn't half as bad as people made it out to be. Sorta like Roeper calling 'Raiders of the Lost Ark' one of the worst movies of all time. C'mon, I mean has he even seen 'Eegah'?
Tannenbaums is a great example--it's like two movies.
