I don't think there is a pitch meaning for that film. If I find one, I will definitely post it. And yes, some people actually enjoyed Ishtar. There's no accounting for taste.

They need to do an Ishtar Pitch Meeting if they haven't already.
They really do.

Wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow wow!
That would be super easy, barely an inconvenience, but unfortunately he did
not
do one. But I do have a new one on a
Transformers
movie. I'll put that on the GD board.

They tend to do mostly recent movies.
If it is anything older than 10 years it is Star Wars/Trek or TV shows.
GD?
On the God Damn General Discussion board, Gawd Dammit?
Gawd Damn right you better put it on the God Damn General Discussion board! -

I suggest that you go here to read the backstory on it which may explain why what you watched was so bad.
There was a lot of controversy between May and Paramount, the studio who supported the movie.

I saw it when I was like 13 or 14
back when something like this would actually be
shown on over the air TV at like 1am.
I liked it, maybe just because it was so
different from the usual Spielbergian
****e being foisted on us.
Maybe I wouldn't be quite as impressed today.

John Cassevettes is always a plus IMO.
One guy is like lying to and ****ing over
and setting up the other guy thru the
whole thing, right ?
If I'm not mistaken Cassevettes is the schmuck.
As in The Killers which I saw around the same
time under the same circumstances which I'd
still call one of my top 10 or 15 movies.

Yep. Mikey
(Falk)
is lying to, and setting up Nicky
(Cassevettes) for a mob hit.
It's mediocre at best.
Meanwhile, I've never seen
The Killers.
PS The only reason I watched it is because someone here on this silly board recommended it.

PS Are you referring to the
1964
version, rated 7.0 on imdb, or the
(apparently superior)
1946
version which is rated 7.8?
