A Movie A Day: Quint on CADILLAC MAN (1990)
You’re an ass half. It takes two of you to make an ass-whole!

Tim Robbins carried that movie by Magic Rat	Jul 18th, 2008 11:33:58 PM
the Robin Williams part could have been played by anyone. I also think you're giving Williams a hard time on his recent comedies. Yeah, they've been pretty bad, but that's more to do with him being around so long he's done basically all he can do in comedy movies. What comedic actor stays funny in movies for more than 20 years anyway? At least the guy has potential in dramas.
DEATH TO SMOOCHY is fucking great by caruso_stalker217	Jul 18th, 2008 11:43:45 PM
Williams is hilarious in that movie.
Love-love-love Lori Petty by BillEmic	Jul 18th, 2008 11:44:22 PM
Glad to see some appreciation for one of Hollywood's more obscure (and actually uber-talented) beauties.
Back to the Beach was GREAT! by The Funketeer	Jul 18th, 2008 11:59:05 PM
If only to see Stevie and Dick Dale playing together for a few seconds. Cadillac Man, however, was a turd. I also find it insane that you haven't seen Meatballs yet. What red blooded American male didn't watch that movie a million times when they were in Jr. High?
death to smoochy IS great! by Jubba	Jul 19th, 2008 12:04:42 AM
i had forgotten about it...but it's a great movie!
Robin Willians...ugh. by fiester	Jul 19th, 2008 12:13:53 AM
Seriously. That guy in cinematic cyanide. I won't watch anything with him in it anymore.
I always loved this flick, had it back to back on VHS by NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYanks	Jul 19th, 2008 12:14:23 AM
with Let it Ride. I fuckin LUUUURVE Let it Ride. Oh, and Rainbow Randolph does rule all.

That's not light in his eyes by critter42c	Jul 19th, 2008 01:16:24 AM
That's about 250mg of the finest Columbian Snow he could get, with a heroin chaser on top...
LONGTIME LURKER by stumpysdad	Jul 19th, 2008 01:31:18 AM
rare poster... that being said, had to relog in to te show my appreciation for this column!! have loved how youve rediscovered many of my favorite classics (often wondering HOW you couldve missed that one?!?!?!) but i see MEATBALLS coming up, seriously, how have you not seen that?!?!?!? I first saw it at a drive-in when it came out with 2 or 3 other tenny bopper comedies...it is the suff of legend and often fills out my 'Top #' lists when I'm short a spot....I hope you love it I look forward to the column, until then I leave you with this...are you ready for the summer?
cadillac man was the shit by ironic_name	Jul 19th, 2008 02:19:58 AM
the he bites fran's ass.. and I too had / have a thing for lori petty. sideboob in point break!
moving violations is with bill murray's jerky brother, right? by ironic_name	Jul 19th, 2008 02:22:16 AM

A Good Film! by Kefrif	Jul 19th, 2008 02:24:30 AM
Like NomoredirtyjokespleaseweareYan ks before me, I had a VHS of this years back and think its an ace little film. First watched it as a kid on late night TV and laughed my ass off - doesn't recommended enough in my opinion.
critter by Quint	Jul 19th, 2008 02:25:17 AM
Whatever he did it made him funny. Long live artists and (controlled) drug use, I say.
doesnt anyone have any decency anymore?!? by TheDudeintheShadows	Jul 19th, 2008 02:52:20 AM
OOWW shit i think i burned my balls
Is this Pepperoni? by kikuchiyoboy	Jul 19th, 2008 07:24:56 AM
Gib During the first Gemini mission some thought was actually given to the notion of sending up a man and a woman together. Woman Really? Gib Uh huh. A cosmic Adam and Eve if you will. Bound together in a highly sophisticated nerve center at the head of the largest, most powerful rocket yet known. It's giant thrusters blasting into the dark void. As they hurtle toward their final destination, the gushing wellspring of life itself... How would you like to have a sexual encounter so intense it could conceivably change your political views? A man walks in during their conversation and leans in toward the woman. Man Would you like to dance. Woman Yes. Please. The woman walks off with the other man. Gib I'll take that as a no. Can't believe "The Sure Thing" is 23 years ago... man where does the time go. Sorry I jumped ahead of time into the Sure Thing TB. But I used love that movie. Still holds up for an 80's "college/teen" film. Can't wait till your write up for that.
I will not abandon you by felt pelt	Jul 19th, 2008 08:29:25 AM
The phrasing of "I will not abandon you" still sticks in my head decades later.
Williams & Murphy by EyeofPolyphemus	Jul 19th, 2008 08:51:20 AM
Robin Williams is like Eddie Murphy. They both did raunchy comedy for years and they have gone about as far as they can with it. Besides, when comedians reach a certain age, that sort of thing is creepy rather than funny. They both had to move into other fare in recent years. Jim Carrey has taken note with many of the roles he has chosen since Ace Ventura.
Saw Out of the Past in film class by O_Goncho	Jul 19th, 2008 08:59:15 AM
I fell asleep for like 5 minutes near the beginning and when I was nudged back to full-alert I spent the rest of the film with literally no idea what was going on. Bored the arse off me. I should probably watch it again, but the memories keep me away, so I'll be interested to see what you have to say, Quint, just remember - constant vigilence.
Back to the Beach is a MUCH better film than this tripe by jmyoung666	Jul 19th, 2008 09:28:41 AM
I mean really, it has Robin Williams - What are the odds it's going to suck? I saw it in the theater in 1990 and was cpmpletely non-plussed.
Out of the Past is great. by jmyoung666	Jul 19th, 2008 09:30:06 AM
Don't want to oversell it, but it was good.
I haven't seen it since it came out by canopus	Jul 19th, 2008 10:18:48 AM
But I remember not liking this movie very much, I do remember liking the beginning, when he tries to sell a car to the widow at her husband's funeral.
Who the fuck warned you off this movie? by Lenny Nero	Jul 19th, 2008 10:25:17 AM
It's absolutely hilarious and a great example of near-one set comedy.
But it only takes half an ass to do Gremlins 2!!! by theredtoad	Jul 19th, 2008 11:45:56 AM

Howard The Duck by Jinxo	Jul 19th, 2008 12:19:38 PM
Funniest thing when I saw Howard The Duck wasn't even in the movie. I went with my brother and some friends. At the movies my brother would always buy Lemonheads. So we're watching and the scene comes on where Lea Thompson walks on wearing this hot little nightie. All of a sudden I just hear the clatter of Lemonheads hitting the floor. Sort of summed up the slackjawed (or for my brother slack armed) reaction we all had to that nightie. But the Lemonheads shifted us all into just laughing our heads off.
Exams by Elliot Cowan	Jul 19th, 2008 12:27:38 PM
I never studied for my exams. I went to the movies instead. I distinctly remember going to see this and maybe Willow on the same day. I always enjoyed it, although I haven't seen it for um...nearly 18 years or so...
Robbins was also Merlin in TOP GUN by Tacom	Jul 19th, 2008 12:33:28 PM
So at least he got to be in one successful movie in 1986!
Bring on The Sure Thing by kwisatzhaderach	Jul 19th, 2008 01:15:39 PM
Excuse me, I have to go kick the shit out of somebody
ROGER DONALDSON made Cadillac Man?! by Nasty In The Pasty	Jul 19th, 2008 09:42:50 PM
God, that fucker has made EVERY kind of movie imaginable.
I totally agree about Williams by alynch3	Jul 20th, 2008 04:12:48 AM
He just doesn't seem to be trying anymore. If there's a silver lining, he did finally sign up for a project that at least based on description seems funny as hell. http://www.hollywoodreporter.c om/hr/content_display/film/new s/e3i19d596a15ffa6001cb2919089 ba7f74c
You should have made the next movie... by REDD	Jul 20th, 2008 11:04:36 AM
"The Best of Times", with Robin Williams and Kurt Russell; and then after that, "Used Cars" with Kurt Russell.
Spamster - just because Paul WS Anderson by SpencerTrilby	Jul 20th, 2008 03:24:24 PM
happened to direct a decent (if not clearly good) SF/horror film, doesn't make it akin to Howard The Duck all of a sudden. The guy is a hack, but one's gotta admit when he put some effort, balls and talent in a movie. I can't believe I'm defending this assclown... But yeah, you could've found much worse 90's sci-fi shit to make your point. How about the 5th element? Or Sphere?
To Felt Pelt by DrAstroZoom	Jul 21st, 2008 09:59:29 AM
I agree. "I will not abandon you! I will NOT abandon you!" still strikes me as ridiculously funny. "Cadillac Man" is "Dog Day Afternoon's" spunky little brother.
Why aging 'dirty' comedians go clean by ArcadianDS	Jul 21st, 2008 10:02:38 AM
They wake up one day and realize they have little children.
