The Dereks are back. They have not improved. BLOG: cinematicexcrement.wordpress.com TWITTER: / smeghead4269 VIMEO: vimeo.com/cinematicexcrement (If you can't find an older episode of Cinematic Excrement on RU-vid, it's probably here.)
I wanna see this premise done as a serious thriller, where the ghost husband convinces the wife to kill a man to take over his body, but then at the end it turns out she was just crazy.
Surprisingly, Ghosts Can't Do It was only nominated for Worst Picture at the Stinkers' Bad Movie Awards with the winner being The Bonfire of the Vanities. No. This movie was worse.
@@tristanhartup4936 if I recall correctly, it wasn't SUPPOSED to be. There was supposed to be a whole sequence where the guy wore an old uniform that belonged to the ghost's husband, and so the ghost blew him thinking he was her husband. But they deleted most of that scene, and only left the bj as a dreams sequence. So.. yeah.. I don't know what to think about that Cheers!
The sad thing is the premise could work as a dark comedy. I mean, a woman desperate for her husband back willing to kill another just to get laid...the jokes write themselves. Maybe put in banter between the husband and wife on body types or have the husband not want to possess someone who has bigger equipment than he did. Also why would an angel be okay with murder? If there was a twist that the husband would take over the soul of someone skipping Hell that would be a nice twist. Also clears the pair of moral issues. Lastly make the couple worthy of sympathy. Many critics of the movie said they wanted the couple to lose and I don't blame them. It's like when in Ghost Whisperer the husband took over a guy's body and I hated that. Sorry for the long post. Your review was fun and entertaining. Good job calling the Dereks out for recycling the movie plot.
I don't know. I think this is one of those movies, where just saying the premise out loud explains why it never should have been made. And I'm someone who thought the Book of Henry wasn't that bad an idea on paper! I don't want to see a movie where an old rich guy is married to a woman several decades younger than him, where she calls him "great one" and this is treated like a healthy relationship. And obviously framing the murder, necromancy, and necrophilia/rape as romantic is sickening, but I'm trying to picture it has a black comedy or even a straight up horror-thriller, and it still sounds like 90 minutes of "How are the writers not in jail?". It's a depraved little fantasy to reassure scummy men that, even though they only married their wives for her looks, and she only married him for his money, that she's going to shed a single tear after the old codger drops dead, and even as she flies to Italy to fuck some swarthy hunk, she really wishes he had HIS crusty personality. And it's okay to do unspeakable things to extend your already undeserved time on earth, because getting a stiffy for your trophy wife is pretty much the same as being in love. You want a good ghost romance movie? We have Ghost. That's really all we need. But if there are movies out there that navigate relationships with huge age gaps between the couples in ways that AREN'T creepy, this certainly isn't one of them. Even if Donald Trump wasn't literally in the movie, this would still be the demographic for whom this is any kind of wish fulfillment; men who really don't deserve to have their wishes fulfilled. Cus it's not for the ladies, that's for certain. Do women miss the physical intimacy of their partners when that person tragically dies? Sure, that's part of grieving. But getting so desperate that they're willing to kill somebody and fuck their corpse? That sounds like some kind of Frat Boy fantasy; and not a Frat Boy who's in a very emotionally stable place either.
Imagine Hellraiser if it was made as a romance film, and if Frank & Julia were the film's heroes. Not sure if it's even possible to make a good movie from that, but certainly the Dereks couldn't do it.
Well, she's truly terrible! I can't even recommend this movie to everyone because it's that batshit insane and badly acted! I guess that if you have enough experience you will be able to stomach this movie but you're warned...
Man, Trump had no right to call Meryl Streep the world’s most overrated actress considering he won a Razzie for this movie. Pots who live in glass houses should not call the kettle black.
@@matthewdaley746 multi billionaire turned president is hard to argue that he is of no logic. Unless you think he "accidentally" grew his wealth or he "accidentally" won an election. I know it is easy to say he is a moron but facts prove otherwise, friend.
I like what you've done with this channel. There are plenty of bad movie reviewers out there, but in choosing to expose the frequent partisanship and bad judgment of the Razzies in the way you do, you've found an interesting gap in the market. Though they were bang on the money in this case.
While I still think Bolero is a bit worse because of how they put full frontal nudity on a 14 year old (Seriously, I can't even believe they did that!), Ghosts Can't Do It is nevertheless one of the worst movies I've seen in my entire life. Thank God that John Derek NEVER made another movie after this! Fuck this movie! Great episode!
Surprisingly, Ghosts Can't Do It was only nominated for Worst Picture at the Stinkers' Bad Movie Awards with the winner being The Bonfire of the Vanities. It's rare that I think the Stinkers actually got something wrong.
Anthony Quinn, why did you have to settle for garbage? You're one of the finest actors of all time. He was 2nd in line for Vito Corleone from The Godfather, for christ sakes.I'm.... I'm just going to take my Lawrence of Arabia DVD and go watch it to cleanse my mind of Anthony Quinn being reduced to.... THIS!
Anthony is good but extremely annoying in this movie since he laughs CONSTANTLY! Sure, I don't blame him since all the dialogues were laughable but it was extremely painful to sit through. Also unpopular opinion: how Trump won Worst Supporting Actor? He was barely in the movie and despite being horrible I thought he did better than Bo Derek! But then again I never saw a Bo Derek movie before so I was taken aback by her acting abilities(or lack thereof)😰
The haircut is the chief reason I concluded that Geert Wilders, Donald Trump, and Boris Johnson are secretly the same person. Same bigoted views, same facial features and general build, and again, the haircut. The only difference is how they part it. I can accept a lot of crazy things, but the idea that three separate grown men would look at that haircut and say, “Yes, this is a good look for me,” is a bridge too far. Seriously what is with that haircut? Is a good haircut an affront to the White Race and everything it stands for, for some reason?
Many people have pointed out that atleast in the case of Boris Johnson, the haircut is intentionally bad (musses it before walking in front of cameras). It's supposed to make him more relatable and like he isn't smart enough to lie convincingly.
I think Ray Stantz will disagree with this notion. **Nudge Nudge** P.S. Well Done, Sean. Proud of you. EDIT: Fort Detmerring. Yes it happened. It's canon.
John Derek hated acting. He was an actor for 22 years, including many leading man roles, yet he hated it, and he retired from acting to pursue his true passion of directing. Ironic, cause he was a pretty decent actor (not one of the greats, but not terrible either), but he's EASILY one of the fucking worst directors in movie history. And him and Bo Derek was a cinematic match made in hell, cause those four movies in which he directed her are RADIOACTIVELY bad. Like, holy shit, how he ever got a movie approved past Tarzan The Ape Man is a mystery for the ages.
Okay, I haven't finished the review yet, but I just can't get over 3:55 and how Bo sounds like she's doing a bad Italian accent. EDIT: Again, not done, but I wanted to type it now. "Why did you shoot yourself?" "Cuz it's a full moon and I'm a werewolf, bitch!"
I'm so glad that Anthony Quinn has returned to the screen with "Only the Lonely" (1991) for Disney, Great Oaks Entertainment and 1492 Pictures after a series of unsuccessful bombs like "Revenge" and "Ghosts Can't Do It" (both 1990).
1:20 “Bo Derek was nominated for worst actress of the century but lost to Madonna.” Sorry, I have to call BS on that that because Madonna at least tried. When she had a good script that knew how to use her talents appropriately and a good director who could get a good performance out of her (A League of their Own comes to mind) she was an OK actress. I can not say the same for Derek.
At least she made an stunning comeback as an Golden Globe nominee with better projects like California Dreaming (1992), Women of Desire (1994), Tommy Boy (1995), Sunstorm (2001), Frozen with Fear (2001), Horror 101 (2001), Malibu's Most Wanted (2003), Boom (2003), Highland Park (2013), The Christmas Trap (2018), 5 Weddings (2018) and two more short films. She also appeared lots of TV stuff since the fall of 1981. Today, she's now married to Emmy Award nominee John Corbett in December 20, 2000.
No. I asked everyone if they remembered the ending of that movie and thought I was the sole person in the galaxy to feel bummed by it! I even though I remembered it wrong because I would be often too drunk by the end of a movie to comprehend it fully. Not here apparently... Still a way better film than Ghosts Can't Do It!
"We have such sites to show you, mostly just watching this movie on a continuous loop." "Can't I just have hooks in my face like everyone else?" "Nope. You opened the box, you don't get to choose the torture. Plus, my copy of Ghost Dad was lost in the mail" ".....you really are evil, you know that?"
"I demand ALL of the recounts!" That one-liner pretty much sums up EVERY award-winner, Oscar-wise or Razzie-wise. Oh and "Just when you think it can't get any worse, Donald Trump shows up in a cameo." That quote verbatim you will find in Leonard Maltin's BOMB rating for this film in p.528 in his MOVIE GUIDE: THE MODERN ERA. That is one of a very FEW cases where I must agree with him entirely!!!
if trump was there, this movie qualifies not only as bolero with a ghost, but also bolero with jabba the hutt or bolero with an interdimensional monster from stranger things.
I guess John Derek didn't learn anything about directing from DeMille when he was in The Ten Commandments. He should have kept his job as a stone cutter back in the days of Moses.
His parents were silent film actors and I can write and direct better than him. I’ve seen all three movies that Bo Derek won Worst Actress Razzies for and they were all terrible (Ghosts Can’t Do It is worse in comparison).
@@kingamoeboid3887 I’ve written my own script and I can tell you it’s way better than anything John Derek did. I worked HARD on it, constantly rewriting and making changes to improve it. He did none of that. He hated acting despite some acclaimed performances.
@@WedgePee that's great! The dialogue seems like a first draft script from a 4th grader who had no responsibilities for watching R rated films. I haven't finished a script yet but I have had fantastic ideas for them and I read a lot.
The stone cutter remark was a lot funnier than it had any right to be. XD Seriously, though, it's almost like John Derek intentionally ignored everything he saw from working with directors like DeMille because he hated acting that much. It's like he became a director simply because he wanted to boss others around on a film set.
Before I start: anyone noticed the link has 666 in it? 9:08 - Princess Bonespurs, if you think about it, is the human embodiment of a comedy of errors.
Let's see: Shares initials and letter-counts with "Damien Thorn;" repeatedly associated with the number "666" (cf., 666 5th Avenue); delights in the suffering of others; groomed, protected and raised to power by an international conspiracy; doing his damnedest to bring about Armageddon...dang, it's enough to make one a believer.
I'm watching on my cellphone. The only way I can see the URL is if I choose the "Copy to Clipboard" button and then Paste it into a blank text box, which is just a hassle if I don't need to
'Ghosts Can't Do It'? Uhhh...I think the Peter Jackson movie The Frighteners would disagree with that. I always found the plot of this movie to be depressing and the ghost rules are kind of confusing. Has there ever been any ghost movie or show that has had it that humans need to be dead in order for a ghost to possess them? Also the Brazilionare played by Taylor Negron in Nothing But Trouble was also named Fausto. Indeed I did see the goldfish with legs in that scene and the Cinema Snob did a terrific job of making fun of this movie and that particular scene. And yeah, seeing Humpy Trumpy being 'flirty' is a little bit uneasy to me. What makes that particular scene even funnier is that I saw a comment on a video of that scene and it was from someone who did Trumpy's makeup and hair for that scene and they pretty much describe him as being a really good looking guy and a 'gentleman', it was like they were romanticizing him or like it was the start for a Trump fanfic or something. Yeah, it came in 1989 in Australia but in the United States it came out in 1990 (a superior ghost themed romance movie came out that year, with Demi Moore and Patrick Swayze). Trump was nominated for Worst New Star but lost to Sofia Coppola for her role as Mary Corleone in Godfather 3.
Well, it's not only age: you have to be in good enough shape to undergo massive surgery where they basically put you in an artificial coma/paralysis(trauma # one) then saw and cut half of your ribcage(trauma # two), which could take hours(trauma # 3), remove your sick heart(trauma # four), hook you to a machine to assure blood circulation(trauma # 5), close everything back(trauma #6), then wait for you to wake up, which can be REALLY unpleasant, if you wake up at all. Because it can all go to hell depending on your condition and oh: the body can reject the new organ and to make sure it doesn't happen you have to take meds for the rest of your life. My mom didn't have other illenesses aside from her stage 4 cancer, and if she was, lets say, a very weak 85 years old woman with diabetes guess what: it would have been palliative care. They want to cure you but if its gonna hasten your death then doctors won't inflict more suffering than you already had.
Hi Sean I have a request. I know you're going through Razzie movies at the moment but I was wondering if you'd heard of the movie 'Cobra' before and if so would you be able to share your thoughts on it? ☺️ I think your spin on it would be hilarious considering how awful it is
@@BaranoffIsaac Ah, I admit I'm trolling a little bit there. =) I've never seen Adventures of Ford Fairlane so I have nothing to say about its quality either way.
I wonder how long is gonna take you to tackle every worst movie of the year? Not that I'm not enjoying these mind you, but I kind of miss whenever you gave us tips at the end of the video of what movie you were reviewing next.
I just noticed that some of your videos were removed from RU-vid (Dragon Ball Evolution and King of Fighters review) but thank God we have them all in vimeo so we can wait for your next videos
The worst part about the Razzie movies is that, in better hands, they could've been pretty good. Maybe not Oscar worthy, but not so bad that your eyes roll out of your head. Like this movie. It could've been a sweet film about a widow moving on from her dead husband, with the ghost of said husband being there for emotional support. Instead we got...this.
Ghost Dad, Bird on a Wire, Betsy's Wedding, Wild Orchid,The Jetsons Movie; titles just off the top of my head from 1990 that are FAR WORSE than Ford Fairlane. Please go easy on it, though I guess that would make for a boring vid!
There have been a few razzie winners that he hasn't lit into. For example, he was very fair to mommie dearest (showed how it was bad, but also pointed out it had potential to be something much better) and created a very entertaining video. So he could go easy on Ford Fairlane.
Will The Adventures of Ford Fairlane-DVD make it to Smeghead's home in time? Who is worse, John Derek or Renny Harlin? Will the Great Britain secede from EU without a deal? Tune in September for the thrilling conclusion! Same excrement-time, same excrement-channel! (I'm not insulting, btw)
While Disney/SLM/Silver Pictures' co-production of "The Adventures of Ford Fairlane" not only did great on VHS in 2001 and DVD in 2003 with thousands of special features but it was also did cool on TV syndication, especially on WWOR since 1994 in its full widescreen format which gave what audiences want and that's exactly what they love this film and a whole lot more, but "Ghosts Can't Do It" which doesn't work for the cast and crew at all.
I've seen Bolero (1984), this film and Tarzan The Ape Man (1981) and they were all bad. Ghosts Can't Do It is the worst in terms of incompetence. I did laugh at how bad they were with the slow motion and bad grammar dialogue. I'm looking forward to watching 10 (1979) one day.
I can't even begin to imagine how the other movie can come close to being as truly awful as this one is. Maybe I shouldn't say that though, given what the other winners before this were like.
I think he might have been too stoned to do otherwise. Judging at all the giggling in his dialogue it's either that or he couldn't give less of a s***!
And no matter what, the worse thing in this movie is the Orange Maggot.....playing himself.....who sends someone to drug Derek to win a business dead....and he has no problem being portrayed that way.....because we're finding out it's true.
