(18,690 posts)1. Stanley Kubrick said that he learned much more from studying
terrible films than from studying great films.
In passing, you seemed to reference Exorcist II. Is that "Exorcist II: The Heretic" by John Boorman? I remember seeing that film with my mother and us and many in the audience laughing through the entire thing. And Boorman was a really good director (Deliverance, Beyond Rangoon).
I'll think about your question. Sitting here right now, I remember that three attempts to resurrect the musical in the 70s and 80s didn't go well (to put it mildly):
At Long Last Love (1975, Peter Bogdonavich)
Sg Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band (1979, Michael Schultz/Robert Stigwood)
Xanadu (1980, Robert Greenwald)
