The case against Mdawg

[monet]

Which kind of explains why I thought it was a movie. The movie didn't do terribly well, apparently, despite a pretty good cast.

Sometimes Great Movies or Cult Classics are not a financial success at the Box Office.
This particular movie is too difficult for the Sheeple.
They can not relate to the subject material and or the subculture.
You should be able to understand this being the Vulture that you are.

Interesting Note is that Peter Boyle and Bill Murray also did a similar movie.
Where the Buffalo Roam (1980).
Another movie that did horrible at the box office, that was about similar characters, in a different setting.

True Story... Hunter S. Thompson tied up Bill Murray to a Lawn Chair and threw him into the pool.
(They were both on drugs at the time as the story goes)
Although he didn't actually tie any knots and Bill Murray thought it was great and loved Hunter.
Oddly enough he felt the opposite towards Richard Dreyfuss and tried to hit him with a heavy ash tray while filming What About Bob (1991).
Claimed that nobody liked Richard and they just tolerated him.
I tend to think that Bill Murray was staying in character, messing with Dreyfuss for the whole movie and continued on with the gag for 30+ years.
That's just the way I like to picture it.
Bill Murray is and has always been TEFLON.

Legend has it that Johnny Depp spent 3 Million Dollars on Hunters Funeral and Fireworks Show.
Look into some the early work of Depp... I would exclude Nightmare on Elm Street because I'm not big into Horror.
Anyways... many of his movies weren't blockbusters... they were artistic and pretty darn good.
Finally, after swearing he would never do Blockbusters, he sold out to that Pirates Movie and everyone flocked to it because once again they are Sheeple.
Ironically, those Pirate Movies were the beginning of his downfall.
Not easy to stay at the top forever.
I tell you all of this because I know you care.
