Here's what I want from movies now on my birthday weekend: Endings. No more leaving half the film until the next film. No more setting things up for sequels and franchises. You want to figure that out later, fine. But tell a story. Give me an ending. This is my rule now.

ISHTAR is now on Tubi but the crazy thing about this is that it appears to be the never-on-disc theatrical cut. The running time is listed as 1:47:35 while the running time on the director's cut Blu-ray is 1:44:57. In case any Elaine May or ISHTAR completists would want to know.

Still thinking about the disclaimer in the MISSION: IMPOSSIBLE DEAD RECKONING PART ONE end credits that basically says “The scene at the Spanish Steps wasn’t actually filmed at the Spanish Steps and the real Spanish Steps are fine so you shouldn’t be worried.”
