Wow, you are totally right about that casting. I withdraw my vote for my cast, and switch my allegiance to your cast.

My favorite movie review of all time:  "Grease 2, Audience 0"

But if I've learned anything from Ishtar fandom, you have to make up your own mind about movies - since I haven't seen Grease 2, I'll keep an open mind.

I remember one time I was in line at the video store (something DVDs through the mail have eliminated, unfortunately in some ways).  I was talking with the guy in front of me, and we were talking about movies that had unfairly been slandered by people who had never seen them... we agreed that Mystery Men had lots of good larfs, for example.

Then he said "I'll tell you one movie that really is bad - and that's Ishtar!"

I was kind of startled, because we'd agreed on so many things already. "You really think so?" I said. "It's one of my favorite movies."

"Well," he said kind of sheepishly, "I don't really know. I've never seen it!"

So you see, you just can't trust anybody about this - they might be taking money from the CIA to say Isthar is a bad movie. Or your best Ishtar buddy might be working for the commies!
