Bob Hoskins would go on to say that this was the worst film he ever made.

Nobody knew what was going on, the movie was constantly being rewritten every day it seemed, and the whole thing ends up being a bloated effects-heavy mess. When they showed up on set, the film had completely changed to a gritty Sci-Fi special effects comedy, with an entirely new script, and nobody had informed the actors. The actors had signed on to the original script, which was a fantasy comedy adventure film in the style of The Princess Bride. Much like Cool World in my previous article, this is a movie that was radically changed and altered. And if you look up the behind the scenes story, you'll know why. WHAT I THINK OF IT NOW: This is far from the worst movie to be made from a video game, but it is one of the more confused and muddled movies I've seen. We've got quite a few to cover this time around, so let's get the ball rolling. Time to look back at the summer movies that served as my escapism from the heat and construction that summer. I became hooked on walking, and I still do it regularly to this day.īut enough about me. The house was in close distance to some stores, the library and the movie theater, so I decided to walk to a lot of these places. The final thing I remember is that I got into walking that summer. Another was that I spent most of that summer sleeping on the floor of the living room in a sleeping bag, because that room was the coolest at night, and we had a plug in fan in that room, so it was fairly comfortable in there. One was I was kind of depressed, due to the home situation and troubles at school I had during the previous year. I remember three things about that summer.

We couldn't close the windows and turn on the air, so we just had to live with the heat, noise, and smell. And due to the street repair job that was going on right outside most of the summer, not only did we have construction sounds most of the day, but the wonderful smell of pavement tar would always be on the breeze. And of course, the summer became one of the hottest on record.


It's not that it was a bad house, my problem with it was that there was no central air conditioning. Unfortunately, that would mean that we would have to live somewhere else that summer, as our old house had been sold, and our new one wouldn't be completed until December.Īnd so, during the summer, we lived at my grandmother's old house which had been empty at the time. She started plans to build us a new house. With my dad gone and my brothers off in college, my mom decided we needed a smaller house. I turned 16 that summer, and much like the previous year, things were rough for my family. Okay, so maybe it's a rather obscure Simpsons reference, but seriously, that's one of my all time favorite Grandpa Simpson moments. Sorry for the poor video quality, but it's the best I can find.
