Robert De Niro's career was over?
People were all, "Whyyyy? He just did Heat and it was so good. Why did he do this?". Lol, looks like he came through it okay.

Was it that bad? Lol, I never saw it either. No idea, but it looks terrible. I had some guy friends who'd be talking about it sometimes while we were out, they did it at our Superbowl party too, all around '99; I never really paid attention when they were, but they'd always be laughing. I think it was more of a drinking game/joke kind of thing than anything else. I never took it as a good reflection on the movie since it wasn't supposed to be a comedy.

I wasn't a huge movie buff in the 90's so a lot of movies slipped by me. The movie Midnight Run I watched over and over when it came out. Love that movie!

I know from his guest appearances on Letterman that Charles Grodin is very good at making me hope someone would punch him, so I don't know if that one's for me, lol. Thank, Google, I found something! They were probably doing this, just saying Bob bay! again and again, and cracking themselves up. It's not like drinking's Rocket Surgery so, you know.

Oh he yells bobbaaaay in that movie? lol him and Charles Grodin were great together in Midnight run. Really funny. his character was supposed to be kind of annoying but likable. It was in the movie "Seems like Old Times" I thought he was less than likable

Grodin has a way about him to come across as both smug and insipid, but here, Ritt worked magic with both him and De Niro.

They made the viewer like the both of them even though they were both very flawed characters in their own way. And really funny together. I think it's been over 20 years since I watched it so I have to give this classic another look

Ah ha! Science! Before I looked at the chart I was thinking that that supposedly steaming pile, 15 Minutes, came out in the late 90s, but it makes much more sense that it marked the eve of his transition to Rotten.

It is a bit confused regarding its approach to Douglas the stalker\killer, lacks suspense and chills, is meanspirited, but is still quite fascinating in a cheesy pot-boiler kind of way.

I must find this and eat it, I mean, see it. Was Biehn convincing? What are the most famous cheesy pot boilers, so I'd know the genre?

Well, The Fan - 81' is a good start. Well intentioned, top cast and less than sterling presentation in preparing the pot. It is still fun in an awful kind of way.
Oh, I love this one, Visiting Hours - 82'. This one is actually quite suspenseful and does everything right that The Fan gets wrong. Lee Grant, Michael Ironside, Linda Purl and William Shatner.
Vice Squad - 82'. Nifty little sleaze thriller about a psycho who has more love for his pimp stick, moreso than for his whores.
10 To Midnight - 83'. Bronson stalks a impotent psycho that likes to get nude for his kills. Quite well acted, but also a very sleazy and ugly looking film.
If you haven't seen em', that should keep you going.

Dang, I haven't seen any of them. Hmm, they sound like I might find them great fun, but I'm still trying to get a frame of reference. Have you seen Single White Female (1992)? Would you say that's in the ballpark, or maybe a Neo-Cheesy Pot Boiler? I *love* that.

It's been so long since I saw Single White Female that I remember very little about it. Is that the one where Jennifer Jason Leigh's character kills a puppy?
