Certainly the production was a disaster. I have another Coppola entry that I think is a better choice. Nice article though. Please link to this story. http://therecshow.com/2007/06/21/the-offer-that-should-have-been-refused/ Thanks, Chris Not sure that I agree about Apocalype being an Ambitious Failure.

Always glad to see a Carpenter fan. Even if it is for Ghosts Of Mars. And Grindhouse is an excellent example of an ambitious failure.

Let me jump in to mention my beloved and unjustly misunderstood John Carpenter's GHOSTS OF MARS. If this film was part of a triple bill with the two films of GRINDHOUSE, you would appreciate it for the brilliance it is. On the other hand, GRINDHOUSE bombed too. Consarn it! Deadpan Hawksian satire is too complex for the great American masses. We gots ta educate em! We gots to make them smart like the French, or like they were back in the 1970s. What happened to the 1970s, man? Anyway, below is the link that explains the whole thing, with numerous Lacan references, even. http://acidemic.com/id34.html I am so glad I found this blog.
