it's pretty dumb, and both hoffman and beatty are irritating.
but i didn't think it was that bad. some enjoyable moments,
kinda quirky, a little too long. i've certainly seen *much*
worse.

| Kinda reminds me of a Letterman show I saw once.
Dialing up a "theater's recorded message", we heard:
"Viewings of _Under the Cherry Moon_ are scheduled for 1:30, 3:10, 5:00
and 7:30. Refunds for _Under the Cherry Moon_ are scheduled for 2:00,
3:30, 5:20 and 7:50".

I haven't seen it but I think it's not so much that it's a bad film as it
is that it was a financial flop. With all the money and build up it turned
out to be mediocre at best and people stayed away.

| In a recent "Animaniacs" Pinky and the Brain sketch, they had the pair
surveying a shelf full of very rare items for use in casting a spell.
One of the jars of rare items was labelled "Ishtar Box Office
Receipts".
I saw "Ishtar" in a sneak preview. It was just very mediocre. (i've
had bad luck with sneak previews in general. The other one I saw was
"Baby Boom" which *was* bad.)

| I *LIKED* the movie .. kill me now! It has no social redeeming value,
is unfactual, is chauvinist, has bad bad music in it, and is full on
pompus overacting men. There are a few wonderful lines tho. Watch for
a killer line about the camel.

That one is traditional (substituting donkey for camel) in Cyprus.

the movie that is.

| 514.10 | not yet | 11435::MURPHY | Symbolic stack dump follows... | Wed Apr 13 1994 17:41 | 7 |
| not yet - but I will soon. Last two movies I rented (over the last few
nights) were a couple old one's that my wife hadn't seen but I had.
"Major League" and "My Left Foot" (the latter being a much more
significant film).
