AICN DVD Giveaway!! Want Your Own Copy Of THE PRODUCERS: SPECIAL EDITION'!

Published at:  Nov 26, 2002 9:06:30 AM CST

Hey, everyone. "Moriarty" here with some Rumblings From The Lab.



I love THE PRODUCERS. There’s a run of movies that Gene Wilder and Mel Brooks did together that are as good as film comedy gets. YOUNG FRANKENSTEIN. BLAZING SADDLES. But THE PRODUCERS might be the most delicious of the three, because it’s an original. It’s bold and fresh, even now. And the new DVD that MGM is putting out promises to be a good one, with special features like this a new hour-long documentary, a new remastered transfer, a deleted sequence, and more. I haven’t seen it yet, but I’ll be taking a look at it for an upcoming column.



In the meantime, you can win one of your very own. All you have to do is send me your idea (1500 words or less, please) for the biggest guaranteed flop of all time. I want you to send me ideas for movies that couldn’t make a dime, no matter what. It’s time for your own SPRINGTIME FOR HITLER, and the best five are going to get published here on AICN and get DVD copies of their very own.



Enter as many times as you want. The one big rule is that you have to have your entry in to me at this address by Friday morning of this week at 9 AM PST. Make sure you put “PRODUCERS DVD CONTEST ENTRY” in the header, please, and I’ll be publishing the winner’s names over the weekend in one of the next two editions of my MORIARTY’S DVD SHELF column.



Let the avalanche of terrible ideas commence!!



"Moriarty" out.

    I want to see a remake of "Barney Miller" done entirely in Korean with a cast composed entirely of 80-year-old and older actors and actresses (pretty much like the original in a way). Oh yeah and for no apparent reason throughout the production there were be interruptions so that they could spout hiku poetry. Send me my prize now. Thank you

    It's brilliant. Abe Vagoda is still alive right? And he has to be well into the eighties so absolutely perfect stunt casting as Fish (can't remember if he was a detective or not..god that was a long time ago). Hope this doesn't make the concept too mainstream.

    Abe?

    by james175

    Sorry, that would lure some of the nuts who know Godfather and absolutely love him. That will make at least $20.

    Who would have thought that making something so bad would be so dang hard!!!

    How did Ed Wood do it?!? Oh right.. it was the angora.. duh...

    by groovy_chainsaw

    Actually, my idea is a summer release with the title " No Air Conditioning " -- or is that a little too " Hey, let's call our band 'Free Beer Tonight !' "

    This Is It!!

    A Big-screen "3-D" Version of the "The Fall Guy" Hack Directed by Raja Gosnell. Starring Ray Romano and Tempest Bledsoe. But no dialouge just sign language. Even the explosion and action sound will be takens out just a circle in the lower right hand corner doing sign language. Heather Thomas role will be played by none other than...The Rock. I just pitched it to new Line...You can just smell the shity-ness coming from the screen.
