Title: WTF were they thinking???
Post by: RCMerchant on January 22, 2018, 03:38:22 PM
WTF was DeNiro thinking by appearing in DIRTY GRANDPA??? That movie is an atrocity! It was just a bunch of dirty language and frat humor. Stupid.

WTF was Al Pacino thinking with JACK AND JILL ???

Though it looks like they'll be back on  track with Martin Scorses's the IRISHMAN (2018) which will also star Harvey Keitel,
and Joe Pesci!
 
Do you have any examples of "WTF were they thinking???"

Travolta was thinking Scientology-that was his deal.

Get me a bucket... John Travolta should change his name to JOHN REVOLTSYA.

WTF were they thinking when they cast Lon Chaney Jr. in SON OF DRACULA (1942)?
Don't get me wrong-I love Lon-but his jowly Oklahoma corn-fed face didn't look like Dracula.
Or the Mummy in all those 1940's mummy movies? He made an awful husky living corpse.

WTF were they thinking having John Saxon fight Bolo in ENTER THE DRAGON? I mean, s**t-man! That should have been Bruce Lee's big fight scene!

WTF were they thinking when they hired Mike Nichols to direct WOLF (1994)?
He was a director of talky dramas and romantic comedies. They couldn't get Wes Craven or John Carpenter? Bulls**t.
That movie sucked!

I would have to agree with, I was so disappointed when DeNiro accepted that project it is way different from the past films that his been into.

What on earth were they thinking when they wrote the screenplay of HIGHLANDER II: THE QUICKENING???
They took everything that was right and good about the franchise and flushed it down the crapper!

I mean, any Hellraiser film post-part 2 has me scratching my head.

Especially like, part 9 where Pinhead is in it for like 5 minutes, top, tacked on, and not even Doug Bradley. :question:

Saxon apparantly thought that he was going to be the big star of that one.

Apparently Tannis leaves pack a lot of calories.  :wink:

Night of the Lepus?
Yes. Apparently, the book it was based on was a comedy. Who decided to turn a satire into a serious sci-fi horror film I know not. More surprising is the fact it was made by MGM, which should've known better. Was MGM that out of touch by the 70's?

OK. Remember EARTHQUAKE (1974)? In the movie Charlton Heston (who at the time was 51) and Ava Gardner (looking a rough 52) were married. Ava Gardner's father in the film was Lorne Greene-who was 59. It was distracting seeing Ava call Greene 'Daddy' when she looked older than him!
On top of that-towards the end Geneviève Bujold, who has been having an affair with Heston, is left behind so Heston can drown trying to save Gardner-who's been a nagging shrew through the whole film!

Agreed: I've never gotten over the fact that (a) Mario Puzo wrote the script and that (b) they crashed into Zsa Zsa Gabor's hedge.  :buggedout: :wink:

They were clearly trying to capitalize on Vanilla Ice and his Ice Ice Baby success. I believe they didn't care that it was bad as long as people paid money to watch it. It was a box office flop but made good money in video rentals. So, in the end the producers got the last laugh  :bluesad:

John Wayne's line "Truly this man was the son of God" in the Greatest Story Ever Told. 

Likewise John Wayne's role as Ghengis Khan.

Chuck Norris' "Top Dog."

"Well, we've got this script with Chuck as a rogue cop fighting a group of Neo-Nazi terrorist bombers..."

"Sounds cool, but you know what it needs? A cute dog."

I used to like Top Dog. For me it worked as a fun compliment to Walker, Texas Ranger.
