Through this Friday, all available back issues of Wholphin are half off—10 bucks apiece for countless warm evenings of rare films, featuring Miranda July, Paul Rudd, Donald Trump, and a monkey-faced eel. - - - - |
Look closely at some of today's hit movies. How could these multimillionaire Hollywood bigshots be so careless? A few examples: - - - - "The Story of Us" In the suburban household where Katie and Ben Jordan (Michelle Pfeiffer, Bruce Willis) live with their two teenage children, a delivery man emerges in a key scene wearing a black leather jacket with a gold zipper on the right-breast pocket. In the very next scene, however, the delivery man is still wearing a black leather jacket with a gold zipper on the right-breast pocket, but Mr. Willis's wig looks stupid. - - - - "Bowfinger" When Kit Ramsey (Eddie Murphy)--searching for his girlfriend in a Hollywood restaurant--picks up a pack of matches and sticks it into his briefcase, it is evident that a broken chair lies next to the jukebox. Look closely, however, after the camera returns to the jukebox after panning away for a moment. The broken chair still remains next to the jukebox, but Eddie Murphy is an asshole. - - - - "Crazy in Alabama" In the Huntsville, Alabama, police station where Lucille (Melanie Griffith) waits patiently to speak with the detective in charge of investigating her husband's murder, a doorway is clearly marked with a sign that reads EXIT. A policeman walks through the entrance-way and motions for Lucille to follow him into his office. In the previous scene, however, Miss Griffith's Southern accent sucks. - - - - [Author's Note: Although Michael Sacks has not seen any of these movies, one can factually assume that Michael Sacks thinks Eddie Murphy is an asshole.]
