I dont mean to be offtopic but does anybody know of a way to log back into an Instagram account?? I was stupid forgot my account password. I would appreciate any tips you can offer me
Many MANY MANY years ago I had a summer gig on a mid-sized daily paper. At one point I was assigned to do a telephone interview with Pia Zadora. I don't remember what the reason was. I do remember that she was very nice to a newbie reporter. No, that doesn't diminish at all CE's criticism of her movies or her acting. :)
This movie has a lower Rotten Tomatoes score than all the other films nominated for that year's Razzies, especially Jaws 3-D. Don't know if I would either call it an accomplishment to be worse than that movie or just pathetic.
Fun fact: the jilted, hot dog-throwing boyfriend (referenced at 6:01) went on to do the voice of Baby Herman in Who Framed Roger Rabbit. At least a couple people in this movie went on to be in good things.
Ah, and I kinda wish you did more of those weird Italian mockbusters like the Lou Ferrigno Hercules movie. That movie is BATSHIT INSANE. It starts with Hercules throwing a bear in space and creating a constellation. Then he fights a mecha-butterfly. I...AM...NOT...JOKING....
@@BaranoffIsaac I agree with your point, but even if Allen was aquitted, the man married his adopted daughter and the signs seem to suggest that the affair started when she was under age. The dude's a scumbag.
@@BaranoffIsaac Look it up, it isn't a secret. I can't confirm the under age part, but he did leave his wife Mia Farrow for his adopted daughter Sun-Yi Previn ( spelling might not be accurate) right around when she would have turned 18.
Interestingly enough, the Golden Globes, IIRC, changed some of their rules AFTER Zadora won her Golden Globe so that "buying" such an award could never happen again... And, if the Lonely Lady were any good, it'd be seen as ahead of its time, given the rise of the #MeToo movement...
Oddly enough, the TV version sounds more appealing compared to the theaterical. It just feels like theaterical version was meant as the unrated cut and the broadcast version was the original. It's just weird
Honestly, the Razzies have been a joke for quite a while now. They're much more about piling on popular targets than about actually recognizing the worst cinema of the past year.
Eddie Dingle or they vote for a film because they hate an actor or director whose associated with the obvious category winner. Yes. Peeps can get that petty!
I might watch the whole thing to see how bad it is. I've seen Bolero (1984), Ghosts Can't Do It, Tarzan The Ape Man (1981) Showgirls and Jack And Jill.
Here's a list of the remaining films by month to get an idea of how long this will take: - Bolero (December) - Rambo (January) - Under the Cherry Moon/Howard the Duck (February/March) - Leonard Part 6 (April) - Cocktail (May) - Star Trek 5 (June) - Ghosts Can't Do It/Ford Fairlane (July/August) - Hudson Hawk (September) - Shining Through (October) - Indecent Proposal (November) - The Color of Night (December) - Showgirls (January) - Striptease (February) - The Postman (March) - Burn Hollywood Burn (April) - Wild Wild West (May) - Freddy Got Fingered (June) - Swept Away (July) - Gigli (August) - Dirty Love (September) - Basic Instinct 2 (October) - I Know Who Killed Me (November) - The Love Guru (December) - Movie 43 (January) - The Emoji Movie (February) Including the winners announced during this time, you'll be at this until April 2021. My condolences.
If you're wondering why I lumped together two pairs of movies, that's because they shared the win their respective years and I don't know what order they'll be reviewed: alphabetically, by infamy, by release, or randomly. Or maybe they'll be reviewed together to make it go faster. We'll see.
Pia Zadora also sucks because she bought “Pickfair” the beautiful, historic home of Mary Pickford and Douglas Fairbanks then falsely claimed it had termites in order to demolish it to build a new McMansion.
Pia Zadora was playing Anne Frank on stage... As the Gestapo made their appearance the audience started to chant... *she's in the attic* (old showbiz story... probably apocryphal)
Yeah, I'm sure that clip of Ray Liotta will NOT be shown if he ever gets a lifetime achievement award... And, in the wake of the #MeToo movement, suddenly Jerilee's line has become a LOT more relevant...
What I find bizarre is that Pia Zadora won the 1982 Golden Globe award for best new star in a motion picture for her role in Butterflies. Also, let's not forget her commercial spots for Dubonnet fortified wine. I have to say she was really cute.
So next month is Bolero. A Bo Derek flick. This is going to be painful. That makes me look forward to when you'll review Ghosts Can't Do It. Not only it makes most bad romance movies look good, but a certain person is in it (like a cherry on top of a pile of crap).
I remember watching "The Lonely Lady" and thinking "Ummm, okay. I feel like there should be more. What am I missing?" Then I read the book. Okay, I was 14, but I was bored during my teen years! Oh, yeah, I could see why Harold Robbins slept thru most of the movie and the critics panned it, and why I felt the movie needed something. The ending of the book had her stripping and revealing a gold Oscar painted on her body. A bit more dramatic than what was in the movie, but more effective (I think). I could see the movie getting remade and maybe doing better.
What pissed me off about this movie is that this could have been a decent movie that touches on themes about how women are treated in Hollywood that are still relevant today. What we got was a movie made for the sole purpose of showing off Pia Zadora's naked body.
In defence of the director, Peter Sasdy made a couple of half-decent films for Hammer: Taste the Blood of Dracula, and, especially, Hands of the Ripper(!). His career ended where it had begun: In television.
This film is my ultimate guilty pleasure, I’ve watched it many, many times. I read the book once to see which was worse, and its hard to say XD But condensing a 428 paged book into 90 minutes was no easy feat AND it shows. Its like cramming all the contents into a box and sealing it with silly putty! The movie is a damned mess and I love it XD The theme song is just bombastic cheese too!
Hey good news guys I checked the Razzie list and 1985's worst picture winner is Rambo Part II, we get a break from crappy movies soon....Sadly the movie after that is Howard the Duck.
Thankfully, he was in stuff like Goodfellas, Smokin' Aces, No Escape, Cop Land, Revolver, and Grand Theft Auto: Vice City, so if anything he went on to do better things after this.
Some other adaptations of Harold Robbins FYC on 'Cinematic Excrement' include 'The Carpetbaggers' (with George Peppard playing a character blatantly based on Howard Hughes with on the nose parallels for John Wayne and Jean Harlow thrown in), 'The Adventurers', 'The Betsy' (again starring Sir Larry Olivier as an obvious Henry Ford parallel) and 'Where Love Has Gone' (with Susan Hayward playing a sculptress Lana Turner stand-in). Apparently, a game among people at the time was to guess which famous person was the basis for one of Robbins' characters (same with his female counterpart Jacqueline Susann).
I bought a DVD of "Santa Claus Conquers The Martians" at the dollar store years ago. Hey, it was either that or spend that dollar on some off-brand diet cola I never heard of. I ended up tossing it out, I think. Just a couple of years ago, I bought it again, this time with Rifftrax commentary. Money well spent!
Everything keeps coming back to The Room because it's the greatest movie ever made, period. BTW: you mentioned Jaws 3-D and Hercules. Do you have any plans to review those movies?
Lloyd Bochner went on to play Cecil Colby in Dynasty and there is a HEINOUS love scene with Joan Collins where he has a heart attack during fucking. And his bushy back hair is featured a lot. He was also in that famous Twilight Zone episode To Serve Man…(no dont get on the spaceship! it’s a cookbook!!)
Sean: there was another movie that came out in 1983 that deserved worst picture. Me: what? *YORS WORLD HE'S THE MAAAAN , YORS WORLD HE'S THE MAAAAN* Me: YOR!!!!!!!
Honestly, had a good cast and crew been involved in making this movie, this could've been something. There's a good movie buried in this dumpster fire given the subject matter. But unfortunately, this is what we got instead. Also, Shout Factory did pretty good with this movie's HD transfer. I've been so used the crappy standard definition version Cinema Snob used in his review, so it feels nice to see a visually cleaner version of it in this review.
I'm pretty sure he has a day job. He doesn't have a patreon like other youtube creators so it's likely he's just doing this more out of passion than financial obligation. Give the guy a break.
@@Campbellzilla Wtf? He's obviously dedicated, with 22k subs. If he ramped it up and did two to three movies a month, he'd have 100k in no time, verified, and then he could quit whatever day job he might have. Why would someone do this simply out of passion? That's like doing math homework for the fun of it.
Scorpinok300 no I’m not. I’m fine with the way he does his reviews. I was just suggesting an idea. That’s all. I’m okay with him reviewing one movie per month.
It would have been funny to have the camera zoom in on Ray Liotta's face after the 'hose scene' and him looking dumbfounded said 'As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be an actor.'
17:40 Here's a sad fact on *"JAWS 3-D":* Kai & Capricorn (a male dolphin) who played the female dolphin heroines "Cindy & Sandy" were nominated for the "Worst New Star" Razzie, credited as "The Shrieking Dolphins"! They *DID NOT* deserve to be nominated for a Razzie! And considering Shelley Duvall's Worst Actress nomination for Stanley Kubrick's *"THE SHINING"* had recently been denounced, you would think they could do the same for our dolphin friends from SeaWorld Orlando.
You skipped my favourite moment in the breakup scene, when the husband picks up the garden hose and suggests she would be more sexually fulfilled with it than with him.
Harold Robbins was mentioned on ARE YOU BEING SERVED?, the episode where they are all writing scripts for a proposed Grace Brothers advert to be broadcast in installments. Don't remember the FAWTLY TOWERS.
I remember reading on its Wikipedia page that The Lonely Lady was based on a true story, but I'm glad I mis-remembered it since I recently looked at it.
@@tedgruver7618 worst visual effects is kinda mean to an industry that is severely over worked and underpaid. Its rarely the vfx teams fault if the effects sucks, its mostly due to time and budget constraints.
19:20 And now we get to Bo Derek finally for your next review. Which would have qualified to be on Cinemax. Sheesh, you might need a cold shower after these two back to back.
Any chance you'll take a break and review a bad Christmas/holiday movie next month? I probably already know what the answer is, but considering I had to go through during this review, I *really* could use a breather after this.
It's not a *bad premise* when it's a *sadly true occurrence* in Hollywood but unfortunately the execution was *botched* but I wouldn't mind seeing this Revisited at some point with *competent Direction*
Good job, Sean. I've seen four of these commentaries on The Lonely Lady and each one of you mentions something that the other three didn't. In this case it was the TV version. Why did they even bother? They had to cut so much out of it that it just made a bad movie worse!
