For you, Sonny, I will give Ishtar another try. I saw it on opening night back in 1987 on a first date with a woman I really liked. I thought the movie was OK, not entirely working, but the movie theater was freezing due to the air conditioning and my date was bored silly. When I suggested we leave halfway through, she jumped at the opportunity. We went out to dinner instead. So I admit that I put love ahead of cinema. Btw, we ended up dating for about a year, broke up, and have been best friends ever since. Sorry, Elaine.

Such a good interview. I have Mikey and Nicky on my watch list. I remember nothing from seeing it long ago, except for a brief picture of them in a house, arguing. I watched a Columbo rerun not too long ago with Falk and Cassavetes as the murderer.

I think I am the only person on the planet that liked Ishtar.
