1941, pivotal or all around nightmare

Might be a generational thing, I dunno.  I don't think it's a particularly great movie but I guess I assumed everyone had at least heard of it.

[PDH]

Of course he hasn't heard of it. Everyone knows 1941 was made later on in England, and that is the conventional understanding of it.

It was made in 1979, it isn't a giant success. Unless it's a really great movie, if it's made before 1990, I have probably not heard of it.

How about Breakin' 2: Electric Boogaloo? 

[Ed Anger]

I expect el jefe buttanger to comment with my favorite part of movie.

You sneaky little batards aren't getting doodly shit from me, except maybe my name, rank, and Social Security number: Wood, Hollis P., Lumberjack, Social Security 106-43-2185

Jesus Palomino, a Nazi. I knew it, you're all in cahoots. Well let me tell you something, Mr. Heinie Kraut, I fought your kind in the great war, and we kicked the living shit out of you!

How can a man take a bowel movement with a hundred buffalo rifles a-pointin' at him?

It was like a lot of comedies:  funny in some bits, unfunny in others.  Overall, I enjoyed it.

[Monoriu]

Saw it as a kid and absolutely loved it.  I still do 

I couldn't believe it when someone said it was a bomb.

Very funny movie, I liked it. Liked the part with Belushi landing his P-40 on a road, going into a gas station for gas. Or the cannon being put up in a civilian home on the coast, which later probably does more damage on the home than the sub it shoots at. Other funny, off beat stuff. I'm surprised that the movie did poorly, though I would think it's done well over the years in reruns and cable tv showings? Hmm, but I haven't seen it shown in a long time, even on cable.

Was funnier then some of Spielberg's other stuff.  Much funnier then Schindler's List.

Your humor has improved over the past couple of years. I'm proud of you.

[Darth Wagtaros]

It's on Netflix On Demand. Just about done watching it.  Still hilarious.

If only Kelly's Heroes was also available there.

[Jaron]

Mmm, Jaron.

[Barrister]

I've heard of it, in that I've heard of it referred to as a bomb or dud.  I've never seen it.

Spielberg has said that he had too much success and not enough experience before starting 1941 so he took on the project and tried to do every aspect of the job himself: the direction, the cinematography, the editing, the script, the effects, etc... in every aspect of the production Spielberg applied himself beyond the role of director and the movie suffered because of it.  This is what he is talking about when he says it's his biggest failure.  He didn't trust the pros working for him to do their job.
