The judge siding with the wrong party because of football actually makes a tragic amount of sense. Look at Stubenville, where those rapist teens wouldn't have even been charged had hackers not released the footage, or the documentary The Hunting Ground where women who tried to come forward about a local star player for the college team were told by the cops "Do you really want to do this before a big game? He's up for the Heisman you know." Football is a religion in parts of this country. There are Americans who would denounce Jesus and capitalism before they said anything bad about their favorite quarterback.
I'm not sure if it was Stubenville but I saw a group of football players who were accused of raping a girl and another player (not among the accused) was like "naw it didn't happen, I know him he wouldn't have done that" even though he wasn't there and had no idea what he was talking about. The parents were also defending their sons and making all kinds of excuses and even attacked the victims credibility. Some people take football way too seriously, it's a game and at the end of the day it's doing very little to further the progress of mankind, it's just entertainment.
I thought in Stubenville one of the rapist was bragging about it at school and that’s how it “blew up”. It’s was so long ago my memory is hazy on details, but I do remember the asshole football coach going out of his way to keep those rapist safe.
@@missmoanypants Last I heard, the hacker who leaked the footage that forced Studenville PD to take action is actually facing more jail time than the convicted rapists.
@@missmoanypants No different than what happened at I think Penn State or something where the assistant coach was molesting boys in the shower, and the head coach knew about it and did nothing. And the excuse I heard from many people was "he's done so much for the school let's just let this go", so yeah the boys had to be raped to protect the football program, utterly disgusting. Now I am the first to jump to an athlete's defense when they are falsely accused and then vilified by the media such as with the Duke Lacrosse team but if the allegations are true I don't care who you are or how much you've done for a school or whatever you should go to jail.
Brian Webber Of course they are 🤦🏾♀️. The man that filmed the cop using an illegal chokehold on Eric Garner got arrested barely a week after that footage was uploaded.
They even came out the same year. Seeing how one was great (heaven) and one was terrible (hell), does this mean 1996 was the year of Demi Moore being in purgatory? And yes, I get the irony that Hunchback was the great movie despite being the one with hellish imagery. Go figure.
@@coolnerdlll6053 She was also in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America, which came out the same year as HOND and Striptease. That's a good movie too so I wonder does it count as Limbo (a neutral space) as opposed to Purgatory (do the crime, do the time)?
The book was a hilarious, goofy, comedy, parody of Florida life, like all of Hiaasen's books. The advetising for this movie made it look like a non-goofy, straight up sexy drama. It's like the marketers wanted to promote this movie as "Showgirls II" or something. They didn't, at all respect the source material, and the changes that they made made it very clear that the parody went completely over the writer's, director's, and producer's heads.
well they tried to make this movie as a goofy comedy but they never got the tone right. I mean some of the stuff showed in the movie is just plain silly and unconvincing. And the screenplay is just poor. Like for e.g. Demi Moore is so hot and her husband is shown a total jackass. Secondly the main theme of the movie, i.e. Burt Reynolds getting involved with Moore is never shown as it should be. That whole angle which was the main crux of the story was so poorly shown that the entire movie loses its significance. There was possibility of generating genuine suspense and humor there but it completely fails. Reynolds is shown as the sleazy Congressman but he too is shown as total dumbass which hardly feels convincing. You can show the Congressman acting stupid but you cannot show him as stupid. Several important scenes are just shown so casually that give you the feeling of a B movie. The movie had a good idea it was just so poorly executed. Most of the directors efforts seems to have gone on showing the strip scenes without actually focusing on the acting and drama. And the strip scenes are good but there is nothing else. The acting is so poor. Demi Moore has a great physique in this movie, probably the best figure I saw on a mainstream actress but she is so poor in acting. Reynolds is a caricature and the rest of actors really do not know characters they are playing. A poorly written screenplay, cheesy dialogues and poor production values round up a bad effort overall. I give Striptease a 5. The movie had a good idea, and there were all kinds of rumors regarding the movie and Demi Moore. How she demanded certain scenes to be reshot because she had exposed too much. Obviously for publicity. But its an ordinary movie overall.
It just dawned upon me that the senator has literally no idea how dryer lint works. Burt Reynolds had lint from a laundromat dryer. Very little of that lint belongs to Demi Moore. This is a communal dryer, that's lint from countless people that he "made love to". That's just wrong. The joke would only really "work" if Burt Reynolds himself snuck into Demi Moore's home and stole the dryer lint from her home dryer, and nothing else. But even then, it's still kind of weird and wrong.
Keep in mind, Demi Moore was in one of Disney’s most underrated movies, The Hunchback of Notre Dame the same year Striptease was released. Also, Demi Moore was one of the hottest women in the 90s.
She was also in Beavis and Butt-Head Do America in the same year. So she was a stripper, a Disney character, and in a Beavis and Butt-Head film. 1996 was a weird year.
Funny enough, both films got nominated for Razzies the same year. While Striptease won Worst Picture, Worst Director, Worst Screenplay, Worst Screen Couple, Worst Original Song, and Worst Actress for Moore, as well as a nomination for Worst Supporting Actor for Burt Reynolds (thank god he did Boogie Nights after), The Hunchback of Notre Dame got nominated for the special category of "Worst Written Film Grossing Over $100 Million", but it lost to Twister.
@@peterkrug2327 quite the opposite! I've watched every episode of Cinematic Excrement on his channel, lpl. If he did more of these types of videos, I would definitely watch them
Holy all night snake farm, this was just as good a review as I was expecting. Fun fact: Howard Shore who composed this film’s score would later go on to collaborate with Annie Lennox (who had several songs featured in the movie) on the Return of the King soundtrack song, Into the West.
Well they don’t need this junk in their lives anymore because they have better things to do like songs and melodies for audiences and fans alike such as the Oscar winning Lord of the Rings: Return of the King in 2004.
So wait, the bit with the board Games has a wide shot of Candy Land and Snakes and Ladders, but in the close ups, they different board games? Huh... so this is where the inspiration for the Spongebob episode 'Wormy' came from...
@@ccateni28 If I had to bet I'd say lawyers were worried enough to reshoot an insert that probably didn't even involve the real actors hands but not so worried they felt the need to shitcan the wide shots.
For real? That might actually be ok...editing because I actually saw some of it. I feel kind of ookey from it, which I didn't from original. Not campy bad fun.
SAME. i guess it must be a generational thing because i didn't realize that he was known for adult level fiction before getting into children's media. i always associate his name with Hoot lol
Question: Would you still be interested in reviewing Barb Wire? I’m still pissed that it got attention over Mystery Science Theater 3000 the Movie... for obvious reasons.
Man, I recently discovered your channel and I have to say I'm really enjoying it. I like your witty humor and the fact that you do not hesitate to dive into some real garbage.
Years ago, when this was being advertised on television, I had NO idea it was supposed to be a comedy. Hell, I had no idea that Showgirls was supposed to be a comedy, either.
To be honest this movie getting the award for worst movie while Bio-Dome not even being nominated is like if in some generic blobkbuster won the award for best picture while [insert your favorite movie here] wasn't even nominated
Demi: "I got 12Mil to take my clothes off in a movie" Sandra: "That's cute, I got 20Mil just for turning up" Demi: "Bulls**t" Sandra: "Yeah, ya got me........it was actually 70Mil when you factor in my cut from the revenue" . Demi: 😳
There's a joke on the Simpsons where the audio commentary for that movie is Kevin Costner saying "I'm sorry" over and over again. "But Field of Dreams was good, wasn't it?"
I actually really like that movie. Nothing great, but it certainly didn't deserve to win Worst Picture in the same year as Batman and Robin and Alien: Resurrection.
The next one is probably “The Postman” if I’m not mistaken. Also I looked into the worst picture winners awhile back. I feel bad for you considering the movies you will be forced to watch thanks to this project.
Yeah, the only upside I see from this is that Sean has already reviewed most of the 2000s and 2010s winners, so he could claim a good reason to skip them. On the other hand, that still leaves the films from The Emoji Movie onwards...
Copyright and trademark law is confusing as hell and rather dumb or contradictory at times. It is quite possible the film makers were kinda legally OK in having the board games in a wide shot, but the close ups not being allowed.
I remember watching this film with my father when I was 15 years old in 1996 during a summer outdoor cinema in a tourist resort in Spain. 90's were different also in education.
The Hiassen book is okay. It’s been a long while since I read it: I don’t remember much about the book, so I’m not sure how far they strayed from it. Apparently they did. A good bit. Hiassen novels are very Florida-centric. Burt Reynolds was too: lived about 30 miles south of me for ages, and there’s a park named for him near there.
“Striptease” came out a week after Disney’s “The Hunchback of Notre Dame”, which also starred Demi Moore as the voice of the Romani dancer Esmeralda. According to “Hunchback” co-director Gary Trousdale, the Southern Baptists were outraged over the casting of Demi Moore as Esmeralda, as she had just come off of the controversial “Striptease”, in which she played an exotic dancer. Yes really! Apparently, the Southern Baptists can’t tell fantasy from reality. 😂 Source: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-4Sm0kIBw2ok.htmlm50s
Both Magic Mike and Hustlers are ASS, no pun intended! The former is a boring (and poorly directed) mess while the latter was made solely to pander to FEMINAZIS!!😑
Thanks for your great "Razzie" reviews! I love all your vids but you really shine on the "bad movies"- you've got the humor and sarcastic-without-being-caustic thing down. So when you say to yourself, "self, why am I going down the toilet of cinema and reviewing the Razzies?", You can tell yourself that you made one viewer laugh in the midst of a non-Covid related depression and are a reminder of positive things...thanks again.
A judge who points out that the jackass on trial was really good at sports as a kid? Yet another reason why Eight Crazy Nights can rot in Hell - ripping off a cheesy children's sports movie that a lot of people have fond memories of is one thing, but ripping off a Razzie winner is just plain desperate. That being said, I would happily take Striptease over ECN any day of the week - at least Striptease is more visually appealing.
I remember this movie coming out when I was a kid in the early 90s. I remember seeing the previews for it quite often. Still have never actually seen the movie in my life now at 33 years old.
21:27 "Into the future … of 2013!" As Abed would say: Hm, must've missed that. Seriously, though, the onscreen _Postman_ is not much like the on-page one. It's at the nexus of a distilled adaptation (the film omits a subplot about computer-aided social reconstruction and makes the villains less evil) and a padded one (it expands the romance subplot well beyond what's reasonable). Neither do I understand why the protagonist doesn't get a real name like he does in the book, where he's Gordon Krantz. For what it's worth, David Brin, the author of the novel, thought it was the best an adaptation from 1997 could be. I found it to be another movie that failed for trying too hard.
Time Warner's Marion Dougherty has spoken to her mind and says to both Andrew Bergman and Mike Lobell: "Both of you were wasting your time. And the only question was: Is Sandra Bullock will make an cameo in Striptease? The answer is no." So Marion seems to do the right thing at the right time as an casting director for Time Warner from 1957 until 2002.
Great episode as always! I seriously got this movie confused with Showgirls and at first thought "Wait, why is he uploading this again?" Shows you how much of an impression those movies left.
Burt Reynolds actively campaigned for this role, but regretted doing Boogie Nights. Of all the movies he was in, that was the one he trashed. This sheds a little light on his career decision making.
Well he did star in the film “cop and a half”, so his son could watch it, even though he could’ve easily shown “all dogs go to heaven” to his son instead.
@@beethovensfidelio I didn't know that, but it doesn't surprise me. He was an odd duck. He went to bat to get his buddy Hal Needham in the director's chair, but derailed his own career to do it. He had several career comebacks and breakthroughs, but usually followed them with something dubious.
Carl Hiaasen is/was a reporter out of Miami and typically collects strange news stories and then works them into his books. I've always wondered if the Congressman lint sex bit had some real backstory.
I remember hearing about this film. I had a bit of a crush on Demi at the time. A bit disappointing when I finally saw it, but whatever. I was young and dumb On an unrelated note: Cadyland was made for the kids in the polio wards. The creators wanted to give the paralyzed kids an escape from their situation (even if it was just in their imagination).
@@angelcastaneda529 I mean I sought out the movie after hearing she was in it. I still had a crush on her after it, but I was disappointed with the film
That's kind of like how Emma Watson was considered for Fifty Shades of Grey. If they had cast her, I would watch that movie in a heartbeat. It probably still would have sucked, but I would get something out of it.
Sean, it may be because of my experience in BDSM, but considering some requests from submissives I've gotten over time, I think the lint kink is vanilla in comparison. Trust me, you wouldn't want to know. As for the next movie, I Googled what it was, then I saw the comments spoiling it all over the place. Good job, guys. 😂🤣 But yeah, the next movie, I've heard of, but never seen, and don't know much about. So looking forward to it. Thank you, Sean.
100% agree. Frequent Pornhub visitor and sexual switch myself, and a lot of the shit I’ve seen circulated on the site makes the lint sequences here look as innocent as VeggieTales in comparison. For a guy that claims to be all about fairness, Sean sure loves to kink-shame. :P
@@WobblesandBean I’d have an easier time believing that were it also not for his documented history of taking blanket cheap shots at age-gap relationships. :P
20:25 Hey Sean, there's a movie that was definitely snubbed for Worst Picture and should have been at least nominated. A film that's so bad, it was used as evidence in the courtroom. That movie? Bio-dome.
I did say that I was going to unload on this year. As such, this is a long comment. I apologize for nothing. Like Showgirls, I noticed many of the same things Sean did. (I almost hit the roof during that opening scene) That said, not having read the book, I wasn't so much confused as irritated. I did genuinely laugh at a lot of Shad's parts and wish that some movie was based around him. Unfortunately, I saw this as a cross between a Mel Brooks movie and a Lifetime movie- two things that are toxic together. So of course that was the only nominee that year that I paid for individually. The other four I watched on demand, and still want my money back. Barb Wire was merely a cross between a comic book and Casablanca done solely to show off Pamela Anderson's, uh, assets. It succeeded in that department, and I can think of worse ways to pass time. The Island of Doctor Moreau could have been better, and hints of that are there- before Marlon Brando shows up. He seems detached, and the rest of the human players aren't up to the task, but the makeup work is solid and it has some good parts. Again, there are worse ways to pass the time. The Stupids is among the few movies that make me want to bash my head into unconsciousness. Its premise is that of a family that takes everything either too literally or as a vast conspiracy theory, and expects us to laugh at this premise alone. Suffice to say that Tom Arnold deserved that year's Worst Actor Razzie. Ed is among the worst sports movies I have ever seen. Like The Stupids, it expects us to laugh solely at its premise of "look-an-ape-playing-baseball-isn't-normal" (i.e the Air Bud logic) and plays it too damn long with no cliche unturned. All of that said, I can obviously make a case for three movies here, so I can't really call out the Razzies here. Next time, the ultimate example of a movie taking too long to tell its story.
I agree with you on pretty much all points. "The Stupids" is one of those films where, true to the title, you come out of it losing brain cells. I hate, hate, HATE movies that expect the audience to laugh at one painfully unfunny joke throughout the entire thing. I didn't see Ed, thank goodness.
4:54-5:09 It kinda reminds me about ”Eight Crazy Nights”. The judge in that movie apparently sentenced Adam Sandler’s character to several rehabilitative therapies, community services and such, solely on the grounds of the fact that when Adam’s character Davey Stone was young, he was an athletic nice kid with a promising career in basketball.
He has been turned down for a number of reasons because of its controversy-so he has finally move forward with Absolute Power at Warner Bros for 1997. The film was an rousing box office success.
Honestly I think the Razzies got it wrong. This is a bad movie but it was not irredeemable. Barb Wired deserves way more hate and all the venom. Striptease was mostly boring and sad in comparison.
Sean - I'm digging your hair. I know you're probably eager to get a haircut but I think it looks good. I agree that Ving Rhames is good (or at least in some way likable) in practically everything he's been in. He's a great actor. The only thing about this movie that I really remember (no, I don't know why I watched it, probably at the insistence of a boyfriend at the time) was a reviewer saying that Demi Moore had the most anticlimatic breasts. I honestly must have blocked out that line about the dryer lint because when you played it and made that face, all I could do was laugh! Good job slogging through yet another Razzie "winner". Looking forward to the next one!
He, and, Armand Assante, were the only actors in this film to survive with any dignity, Demi Moore, Robert Patrick, and, Burt Reynolds, all never recovered.
21:23 For your next review.... You know, it is ironic that Barb Wire took place in 2017. But hey, surely being The Postman wouldn't be much of a dork by the time 2020 wraps up, right? RIGHT?
