I tried watching Heaven's Gate recently, and the unbelievably turgid opening scene where a bunch of forty year olds are graduating from university made me roll my eyes out of my head.

Showgirls destroyed both Elizabeth Berkley and Joe Eszterhas' careers. It didn't destroy Kyle MacLachlan's though, as he is immune to such things.

Oh I dunno, Elizabeth Berkley at least got to be "the girl from Saved by the Bell and Showgirls" and not just "the girl from Saved by the Bell" lol

Showgirls is a legit good movie. If you have been in the entertainment business for a while, the characters aren't exaggerations. It definitely hit home for me.

I never saw it, which makes no sense to me since it came out when I was 14 and is almost certainly full of nudity.

I'd recommend watching "Showgirls". I can't agree that it's a good movie, but it is a "Camp Classic", meaning there are a lot of scenes of women in heavy makeup screaming at each other. Also there is this dinner scene https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6kVZ5B9uV0

Only real nerds had the internet back then so this was our only way to see Jesse naked. But as the movie went on, you could tell everyone was very confused. Is this camp? Is it just bad? I mean, she's naked and all but...I just want to laugh.

Exit to Eden would have killed if they marketed it as Dana Dalany in S&M gear, but instead they just showed Dan Akroyd and Rosie O'Donnell. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0109758 edit: This is the one film that Akroyd said he wishes he could forgot. This coming form the man that brought us Nothing But Trouble and Blues Brothers 2000.

Wilkins Micawber posted:Everyone's favorite nerdcore rapper "mc chris" had a big blow-up on a fan and called security at a show, and then cried on video and everyone online laughed at him. You may recall: MC Chris was insanely active on Facebook around the time that happened and was constantly spamming the @everyone option to ping everyone following his page, basically scaring his followers off in a desperate ploy to stay in the spotlight. He got super whiny about his "true fans" as well which is even more of a death knell, like begging it not to be so during a break up. There was also a second there where he was trying to reignite his time in limelight with some rejected cartoon that he kept trying to crowdfund and get back on adult swim like in his dog years. I met him a few times decades ago and he seemed cool at the time. I just looked and he seems to have given up on the dream. Last post was September and the one before that is joking/maybe not joking about working at McDonald's now. Guess I'll put on Fett's Vette and pour one out. mannerup posted:The Kony 2012 documentary filmmaker having a meltdown and jacking off in the middle of traffic in San Diego, CA  That dude got mkultra'd and hard.

Aykroyd seems to have gotten off pretty easy for an original SNL cast member. Still alive, has goodwill unlike Chase, got to be in some classic movies & was still starring in them for a while past when it was a good idea, and has plenty of time & resources to enjoy his paranormal interests.

Everyone second person seems to have one. I wouldn't be surprised if he's made way more from his vodka that he ever did in Hollywood. I was looking up Christian Slater and Kevin Costner just now to see what happened to them, and they never stopped working. I wonder how many of these celebrity career deaths I thought were, were actually just me no longer paying attention to pop culture outside of my bubble.

Costner has just left Yellowstone after something like 6 years. Hallmark movies are the real zone to where people just disappear and just materialize for a Christmas movie every 2 years. My mom loved those movies, and they'd be on when I visited and it was kinda funny seeing Jewel Staite in a romcom.

It's astonishing how many bands that you would think 'are dead' never stopped recording music or touring after their one hit wonder faded away. They just were no longer known by everyone.

Sammy Hagar sold his Cabo Wabo brand for $80 million. On the sliding scale of 1 to 10 oddball celebrity beliefs he’s around a 0 or -1? As far as I know he’s not harming anyone and we got Ghostbusters out of it.
