‘SNL 1975’ Finds Its Garrett Morris, Dan Aykroyd, Chevy Chase And John Belushi

By Justin Kroll, Anthony D'Alessandro January 30, 2024 10:00am

Lamorne Morris playing Garrett Morris, Dylan O’Brien playing Dan Aykroyd, Cory Michael Smith playing Chevy Chase and Matt Wood playing John Belushi

EXCLUSIVE: Lamorne Morris, Dylan O’Brien, Cory Michael Smith and Matt Wood have joined the cast of Sony Pictures’ SNL 1975 that will be directed by Jason Reitman and based on the real-life behind the scenes accounts of the opening night of Saturday Night Live. Morris will play Garrett Morris, O’Brien will play Dan Aykroyd, Smith will play Chevy Chase, and Wood will play Belushi. The original screenplay is written by Reitman and Gil Kenan.

On October 11, 1975, a ferocious troupe of young comedians and writers changed television forever. SNL 1975 is the true story of what happened behind the scenes that night in the moments leading up to the first broadcast of NBC’s SNL. It depicts the chaos and magic of a revolution that almost wasn’t, counting down the minutes in real time to the infamous words, “Live from New York, it’s Saturday Night!”

The screenplay is based on an extensive series of interviews conducted by Reitman and Kenan with all the living cast members, writers and crew. Reitman, Kenan, Jason Blumenfeld, Erica Mills and Peter Rice are producing.

Morris can currently be seen in FX’s fifth season of Noah Hawley’s hit drama series Fargo as North Dakota Deputy Witt Farr. He joined the cast of Netflix’s Unstable for season two opposite Rob Lowe. Prior to this, he starred as the titular lead in the hybrid live-action/animated Hulu series Woke, inspired by the life and art of cartoonist Keith Knight.

O’Brien was most recently starring in Ponyboi, which premiered as one of ten films in the U.S. Dramatic Competition at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival. Up next, he will be seen in the feature films Caddo Lake, from the writing-directing team of Logan George and Celine Held and producer M. Night Shyamalan, and Anniversary, a thriller co-starring Diane Lane, Kyle Chandler, Zoey Deutch and Phoebe Dynevor. His other credits include Searchlight feature Not Okay from writer-director Quinn Shephard, the critically-acclaimed crime drama The Outfit, opposite Mark Rylance, Zoey Deutch, and Johnny Flynn; Paramount’s Love and Monsters and the popular Maze Runner franchise

Best known for his role on as the Riddler on the popular Fox series Gotham, Smith can currently be seen as Julianne Moore’s son in Todd Haynes’ May December. He most recently starred as Varian Fry in Anna Winger’s limited series Transatlantic opposite Gillian Jacobs and Corey Stoll for Netflix. Smith has also worked with Todd Haynes in both Carol (as private investigator Tommy Tucker) and Wonderstruck.

Wood has appeared in the original Broadway cast of Spongebob Squarepants and as husky kid icon Augustus Gloop in the Broadway First National Tour of Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. Television credits include Law and Order: SVU, Instinct and Difficult People.

Morris is represented by CAA, Entertainment 360, The Lede Company, and Myman Greenspan Fox Rosenberg Mobasser Younger & Light. O’Brien is repped by William Morris Endeavor Entertainment, Principal Entertainment LA, and Lichter, Grossman, Nichols, Feldman, Rogal, Shikora & Clark. Smith is repped by Circle of Confusion. Wood is repped by BRS/Gage Talent Agency.

Every Real-World Brand Mascot in the Foodfight! Workprint

Hey everyone! So as mentioned in my last post, I'm going to be poring through the entire workprint and pointing out every single time we see (or hear!) a real-world brand mascot. If you've been following this blog for a while or just binged a bunch of my posts recently, you might remember we did this for the finished movie and it turned out there were only 18 real-world brand mascots in the entire film! But with this workprint being from 2005, several years before a lot of the larger brands pulled out from the project, there are bound to be tons more, right? So, let's dive right in and play another game of "spot the cameo"!

#1: Chester Cheetah: Okay so this one is obvious since he gets his own fully-animated segment set to "Bad To The Bone", but he's the first one you see in the entire workprint and honestly he looks great, with the squash-and-stretch style of the early animation suiting him incredibly well. This segment was also used extensively in the original trailer as well as a crewmember's animation reel, so it's one a lot of people are already aware of, but hey- I'm listing all of these, for completion's sake.

#2: The Vlasic Stork: Just like in movie, the Vlasic Stork makes his first appearance here crashing into Vlad Chocool while he's in the middle of flying, although here Vlad has the ability to turn into a bat, whereas in the finished film he's still in his human form and simply awkwardly flaps his arms. Of note is that I can't quite make out what he's saying as he crashes into him- it sounds like he's yelling "Summer fear! Here come!" but that's obviously not right, so if anyone has a keen ear please let me know.

#3: Mr Clean: Once again, just like in the finished film, Mr Clean makes his first appearance here being splattered with poo water as Lord Flushington jumps out of a manhole. He gets a few more scenes later on in the workprint, even getting a line at one point (he says "Dusting for prints..." while the Ikes are investigating a crime scene, and according to the script from around this time he was supposed to be using baby powder to do this. Funny!) He also makes an appearance in the Copabanana, talking with Aunt Jemima as Dex walks into the club. Speaking of which...

#4: Aunt Jemima: Here's one of the many real-world mascots who didn't make it into the finished movie. Aunt Jemima was the mascot for a popular brand of pancake syrup for decades, until the company rebranded in 2021 over concerns the character could be seen as racist. Which I'm sure is true, but what I'm more focused on right now is how baffling her design is here. She doesn't really look like the Aunt Jemima character herself at all, instead looking more like a personification of the old syrup bottles (which were vaguely in the shape of a person). But it's so uncanny because it's this weird hybrid between both- the model and shape is clearly that of the bottle design, yet they've textured her so that she has clothes and a face like the actual character. It's like this weird halfway point where it doesn't look right as either. She was ultimately replaced by Mrs Buttersworth in the final product, with a scene where she spills syrup on Mr Clean being identical aside from the characters being swapped out. Something worthy of note is that this is one of the early character models that was found during the production of ROTTEN: Behind The Foodfight, and so is available for download on archive.org if you want to tinker with it.

#5: The Keebler Elves: The Keebler Elves, one of the only mascots seen fully animated in the workprint, are seen here witnessing Daredevil Dan crash his plane into their factory. In the finished movie they're replaced with creepy generic-looking gnomes, but it's clear they were always intended to be the Keebler Elves and were simply switched after The Keebler Company pulled out from the film.

#6: The M&Ms: By far one of the most recognizable mascots of all time, the M&Ms get a single appearance in the workprint, being led to a table by Charlie Tuna while the Green M&M tells the Red M&M she's suffering from "peanut envy". Of note is that in the script, it's the Red M&M telling this to the Yellow M&M, which I personally find bizarre as the joke doesn't land nearly as well if it's two guys having the conversation. If you're familiar with the Freudian concept of penis envy, it's a condition he alleged was a key part of female psychosexual development- and so the gag lands far better if it's the Green M&M, a woman, saying it. But even having said that, according to ROTTEN: Behind The Foodfight they accidentally modelled the Green M&M as a guy anyway so... I don't know what kind of gender confusion you'd call that.

#7: Charlie Tuna: Just like in the finished film, Charlie Tuna serves as the maître d' at the Copabanana, leading guests to their tables (and later getting his tail stepped on by Lady X). Of course here he's leading the M&Ms to a table, whereas in the movie it's that whole thing with the Roman gladiator who shoves his head up a cow's ass, but let's not get into that again.

#8: The California Raisins: There's not much to say here, as the California Raisins made it into the movie with minimal changes. But if you want to know something interesting, did you know the California Raisins were supposed to get an NES game back in the early 90s ? It ended up never being released, and so was lost for over a decade until a collector named Brandon Murphy happened across a prototype cartridge in the early 2000s, uploading the ROM online so that everybody could play it. I'd highly recommend looking the game up for yourself if you want to learn more, as although it's an incredibly fascinating story, it's also deeply tragic and doesn't quite belong on a lighthearted blog like this.

#9: Rosarita: So this is a more obscure one, but the character Vlad Chocool flirts with in the Copabanana is Rosarita, the mascot for a brand of refried beans. I would've probably missed this character entirely, but there's a similar scene in the novelization where she;s simply referred to as "Rosa" due to not being allowed to name any real-world brands, and so when I was writing my analysis I speculated about who this could be referring to. Sure enough, when I read the early script it was confirmed to be the Rosarita lady, and so it was fascinating to finally see her onscreen in this workprint. The character is usually depicted wearing a wide-brimmed hat and so seeing her without it you might just mistake her for a regular woman, but the flower in her hair made her instantly recognizable to me because I've spent far, far too much time on this movie.

#10: Chiquita Banana: Similar to the Keebler Elves, the Chiquita Banana lady was originally going to play the role of the bartender at the Copabanana, before being replaced by a much less visually appealing character called "Lola Fruitola". This seems to be a trend with Foodfight!- whenever a brand drops out, their character is replaced with an unflattering parody of them. Real professional, guys. Chiquita Banana is a little more complicated however, as in the draft of the script from around the same time the workprint was created, she was already replaced with Lola Fruitola. It's possible these storyboards were just drawn earlier on, and they just didn't bother replacing them even after the company no longer allowed their character to be used in the movie, but I can't say for sure.

#11: Sugar Bear: This is Sugar Bear, mascot for Post's Golden Crisp cereal. There's not much to say about him, since he's only seen briefly a few times during the workprint and he never does anything notable, but he IS one of the few brand mascots seen fully rendered and animated in this version of the movie.

#12: Punchy: Punchy, the Hawaiian Punch mascot, plays the same role as he does in the finished film- during the barfight at the Copabanana, he performs his signature move of offering someone some "punch" before literally punching them in the face. There's not much else to say about him, so let's move on.

#13: Twinkie The Kid: Twinkie the Kid is seen in the background of various storyboards during the workprint, but ultimately doesn't do much other than look far more visually appealing than he does in the finished film. There IS some early animation featuring a fully-rendered version of him, but for some reason it wasn't included in the workprint.

#14: Chef Boyardee: There's not much to say about Chef Boyardee either, as he only appears in the background of a few shots and doesn't say or do anything notable. For shame! Such a highly-regarded culinary expert deserves better than a mere background appearance.

#15: Pepperidge Farm: This is an interesting one as you don't actually SEE the character onscreen, but during the USDA meeting you hear the following dialogue- "Salts and sugars been competing for snack food supremacy longer than I even I remember!" "Pepperidge Farm remembers!" This is obviously intended to be the Pepperidge Farm spokesperson, and presumably had animation been completed while the company still allowed the character to be used, we would've seen him onscreen as well.

#16: Oscar Mayer: Oscar Mayer gets a few scenes throughout the workprint, but I'm going to save discussing them for the second part of my analysis, as there's one in particular I think is far funnier than it has any right to be and I don't want to spoil it. I think it's one of the highlights of the workprint, and it's truly a shame he ended up being cut from the finished film.

#17: Mr Pringle: As mentioned in my previous post, Mr Pringle gets a scene set in the real-world supermarket where he reminds Kaptain Krispy not to lose his temper after his chips get stomped, but he also gets THIS later on in the movie during the battle with Brand X! I mean god damn, he's flying around on a giant Pringle like he's the Silver Surfer! I just can't help but find that hilarious and awesome at the same time, I mean how many times do you see someone flying around on a huge potato chip? It's kinda bizarre to see him with arms and legs though, I'm used to him just being a head.

#18: Tootise Roll Owl and Tootise Roll Man: There's hardly anything to say about these characters, as just like in the finished film the only thing they really do is stand around in the background. The Tootsie Roll Owl is part of the flying squad used to take down the Xobytes late in the movie, but it's not particularly noteworthy.

#19: Sonny The Cuckoo Bird: The mascot for Cocoa Puffs, Sonny's only role in the workprint is also as part of the flying squad used to take down the Xobytes. In the finished film, he was replaced with a character called "Jetpack Jeffery", some sort of elf with a big jetpack and an even bigger tumor sticking out of his head. I have no idea why- it's such an odd character design, and elves and jetpacks don't exactly mesh together well thematically.

#20: Mr Peanut: Mr Peanut, the Planters mascot, appears very briefly toward the end of the movie to hand Dex a message from Lord Flushington about their plan to take down Brand X. He doesn't say anything, and in the finished film it's instead Vlad Chocool who informs Dex about their plan. It really is wild how so many well-known mascots were in the movie at this point, compared to the finished film where most of the ones used are somewhat obscure.

#21: The Energizer Bunny: The Energizer Bunny, mascot for Energizer batteries, appears towards the end fighting off Brand X soldiers with some slick martial arts moves. While the Energizer Bunny does appear in the finished film (very briefly in crowd scenes) he never gets a chance to shine like he does here in the workprint, which is a shame because it would've been awesome to watch a tiny little rabbit beat the crap out of a bunch of grown men.

So that makes 21 appearances from real-world brand mascots in the workprint, only SLIGHTLY more than the finished film's count of 18. But the workprint has far more that are popular, recognizable and you'd actually see in most real grocery stores. The M&Ms, Pringles, Golden Crisp, Chiquita Banana. Compare that to Mr Bubble... Mama Celeste... Duncan Hines... you'd be forgiven for not even knowing who half of those are. Not that I necessarily think the movie would've been better if it had a scene where the M&Ms show up for 5 seconds to crack a penis joke, but I think it's a necessity if you're going to make a movie about a supermarket coming to life at night- for that premise to work you NEED to have characters and mascots you'd recognize from an actual supermarket, and so on that front the workprint succeeds where the finished film fails.

Seeing all these characters from existing grocery products makes Marketropolis actually FEEL like it's a supermarket rather than just a generic cartoon city. That being said, this whole thing is reminiscent of a kind of movie I've seen a lot of in recent years- I like to call them "Thing You Recognize" movies, because they're movies where they're clearly just showing off all the famous characters they own, in the hopes you'll like it because you saw a thing you recognized. You know what I mean, Ready Player One, The Flash, that horrible Space Jam sequel... they put Alex's Droogs from Clockwork Orange in the background of that one, like "Hey, remember the Droogs? You liked the Droogs, right?" And yeah, I liked the Droogs... when they were in A Clockwork Orange, not in your half-assed self-mastubatory children's basketball movie! I mean, what were they thinking? But I'm getting off topic now, and besides- Foodfight! isn't the cause of this kind of filmmaking, it's merely a symptom of it. I hope you enjoyed learning about all the cameos in this version of the film, and join me next time as I finish up my analysis of the Foodfight! Workprint!

This animated take on Oliver Twist re-imagines Oliver as an adorable orphaned kitten who struggles to survive in New York City and falls in with a band of canine criminals led by an evil human. First, Oliver meets Dodger, a carefree mutt with street savoir faire. But when Oliver meets wealthy Jenny on one of the gang’s thieving missions, his life changes forever. Credits: TheMovieDb. Film Cast: Oliver (voice): Joey Lawrence Dodger (voice): Billy Joel Tito (voice): Cheech Marin Einstein (voice): Richard Mulligan Francis (voice): Roscoe Lee Browne Rita (voice): Sheryl Lee Ralph Fagin (voice): Dom DeLuise Roscoe (voice): Taurean Blacque Desoto (voice): Carl Weintraub Sykes (voice): Robert Loggia Jenny (voice): Natalie Gregory Winston (voice): William Glover Georgette (voice): Bette Midler (voice): Deborah Gates Additional Voice (voice): Charles Bartlett Additional Voice (voice): Jonathan Brandis Additional Voice (voice): Kal David Additional Voice (voice): Marcia Del Mar Additional Voice (voice): Victor DiMattia Additional Voice (voice): Judi M.

Redford Songs: Billy Joel Director: George Scribner Screenplay: Jim Cox Songs: Barry Manilow Producer: Kathleen Gavin Character Designer: Glen Keane Songs: Huey Lewis Other: Alan Smart Layout: Bill Perkins Animation: Anthony DeRosa Animation: Jay Jackson Color Designer: Maria Gonzalez Animation Manager: Pat Sito Movie Reviews: CinemaSerf: I suppose it was only a matter of time before this classic Charles Dickens story got the Disney treatment – but given that it’s completely devoid of any darkness or eeriness, this rather too cheerful and vibrant pet-fest doesn’t really work for me. The eponymous kitten is adopted by a gang of dogs that, much like “Fagin’s Boys” in the book, engage in a bit of petty crime for their boss “Fagin” who, himself, lives in terror of the malevolent “Sykes”. When the latter cottons on that “Oliver” has been adopted into a wealthy home, he insists that “Fagin” enact a trap to lure “Jenny” from her luxury mansion so he can ransom her back to her dad. It falls to “Oliver” and his canine companions to thwart this dastardly plan. You can’t really fault the quality of the animation and an array of musicians including Barry Manilow and Dan Hartman are behind the songs that won’t exactly stick in your mind afterwards, but that do help to keep this amiable production rolling along. Sadly, though, it’s all just way too predictably light and fluffy and takes just a little too much of a factory approach to one of the more substantial stories of English literature. Younger kids may like it though – it’s pretty joyous and extols the virtues of loyalty, team playing and friendship and it’s not without the odd laugh to two.

Martial arts kitties 😹

This is an amazing species these bobcats are like house cats that know how to fight house cats are wackos and nutcases who just going on bothering people and big cats are deadly as hell and kill everything these are playful too and I like to have a good time but they're very deadly and they're dangerous and you should not domesticate them eventually they get mad at you and bite you bad and the force their way out because they just started mistrusting and they can't help it their animals but they are wonder they do stuff like this all the time they're hilarious to watch and they care if you're watching but usually they just sit there doing it it's amazing and they're fun I'm watching for years and I love watching them and everybody should get down and Google it and watch it a whole bunch of different films it's a joy they're very dangerous and they need to be in the wild they need to be there they do okay but you're right about things everybody these cats are in trouble you can't keep them at your house they might hurt you that woman with the walls has some sort of suicide wish she can't stand the Max and she's a Mac if you can't stand it here what he says is no one can stand it here but these men are wrong and have a plan for women too and they're stupid and sick and they start listening and asked around and questioned Max and found out it's true and the woman's moving to zone and they're heading it up it was a good thing to help her she's very wrong and she did find out on her own and he helped her and this is not going to go well for them they said and they're gross pace and they really left society we have to run everything and we have to stop them right now we have factories up we're up to 870%. It's going to be a very positive day he said some things to people today they're out there doing it and getting things ready Dan is working in the shop it said time it's a b**** but it's not that bad and others too are starting to work on things like that Trump is actually looked at the Baja car cuz our son said it's like the truck it just has a car rear-end like they used to and you use the Polaris in the Canon it's practically free and it's for streets already he almost dropped his job since the cage already and some pictures of what you were pulling up or he has those and he said this is an awesome looking vehicle and those going to be smaller which would make it even more fun and you can sell them to children and you can sell them to younger children and you can make a young children version that has one in the middle and they have smaller Odyssey and he says no way and Jason will buy him and you can have races I imagine that sponsors on there and and people sponsor the car and Ken is kind of a sick person and he can sponsor like Jason shrunken down with a Frankie lupena product car and he's known for speed and he knows how to make it faster and it would be a Baja car and you can have trucks but geez you know they don't go as well and the tire goes there anyways it's a waste of time they get a truck but they want to do stuff with it so really it's a good idea I love these animals the people that want that don't want it either and the best thing to do is to make a sanctuary and people will try to put stuff below it but they fight over it to try and get there but it's kind of a play it works

SLEEPAWAY CAMP (1983) – Episode 219 – Decades Of Horror 1980s

“Eat shit and die, Ricky!” “Eat shit and live, Bill.” Yup. Sounds like your typical summer camp version of witty patter. Join your faithful Grue-Crew – Chad Hunt, Bill Mulligan, Crystal Cleveland, and Jeff Mohr – as they finally cover the notorious Sleepaway Camp (1983).

Decades of Horror 1980s Episode 219 – Sleepaway Camp (1983)

Join the Crew on the Gruesome Magazine YouTube channel! Subscribe today! And click the alert to get notified of new content! https://youtube.com/gruesomemagazine

Angela Baker, a shy, traumatized young girl, is sent to summer camp with her cousin. Shortly after her arrival, anyone with sinister or less-than-honorable intentions toward her gets their comeuppance.

Writer/Director: Robert Hiltzik

Makeup Department: Ed French (makeup illusions)(as Edward French)

Special Effects:

William Bilowit (special effects coordinator)(as Bill Billowit)

Ed Fountain (special mechanical effects)

Selected Cast:

Felissa Rose as Angela / Peter Baker

Maximo Gianfranco Sorrentino (credited as Frank Sorrentino) as Young Peter

Colette Lee Corcoran as young Angela

Jonathan Tiersten as Ricky Thomas

Karen Fields as Judy

Christopher Collet as Paul

Mike Kellin as Mel Costic

Katherine Kamhi as Meg

Paul DeAngelo as Ronnie Angelo

Susan Glaze as Susie

Thomas E. van Dell as Mike

Loris Sallahain (credited as Loris Sallahian) as Billy

John E. Dunn as Kenny

Willy Kuskin as Mozart

Desiree Gould as Aunt Martha Thomas

Owen Hughes as Artie

Robert Earl Jones as Ben

Frank Trent Saladino as Gene

Rick Edrich as Jeff

Fred Greene as Eddie

Allen Breton as Frank the Cop

Lisa Buckler as Leslie

Michael C. Mahon as Hal

Dan Tursi as John Baker

James Paradise as Lenny

Paul Poland as Craig

Alyson Mord as Mary Ann

Carol Robinson Alexander (credited as Carol Robinson) as Dolores

Sleepaway Camp is one of Crystal’s favorite movies. In fact, she loves it right from the opening scene depicting a boating accident and describes the film as intentionally funny. She loves Desiree Gould as Angela’s Aunt Martha and the two camp snarks, Judy and Meg. She also issues the caveat that you shouldn’t watch it if you’re not open to some politically incorrect attempts at humor.

Chad differs from Crystal and does not think Sleepaway Camp is intended to be funny, but he does think it’s an okay slasher with good makeup effects. Bill went in with low expectations but was pleasantly surprised by Sleepaway Camp, calling it a slice of 80s cheese. Back in the day, Jeff heard the rumors about Sleepaway Camp and its shocking ending so he rented the video to verify it for himself, and indeed, the rumors were true. He was shocked. Now he enjoys the film, its appropriately juvenile humor, and its inventive kills.

It might go without saying but it will be said nonetheless. The 80s Grue Crew unanimously loves Felissa Rose.

At the time of this writing, Sleepaway Camp can be streamed from Peacock and several ad-based services. A Blu-ray disc is available from Scream! Factory.

Every two weeks, Gruesome Magazine’s Decades of Horror 1980s podcast will cover another horror film from the 1980s. The next episode’s film, chosen by Chad, will be Akira (1988), a “Japanese animated cyberpunk action film directed by Katsuhiro Otomo, … based on Otomo’s 1982 manga of the same name,” according to Wikipedia

Please let them know how they’re doing! They want to hear from you – the coolest, grooviest fans – so leave them a message or comment on the gruesome Magazine Youtube channel, on the website, or email the Decades of Horror 1980s podcast hosts at [email protected].

Hal itu ia sampaikan saat bericara dalam Diskusi Pilot Project Pengembangan IP Financing Malang di Gedung Content Garage, KEK Singhasari, Kabupaten Malang, Jawa Timur, Jumat 4 November 2022. Pembiayaan Industri IP Diskusi ini dianggap penting karena diharapkan bisa membuka mata dan menambah pemahaman bagi para pemangku kepentingan. BACA JUGA: Pelaku Ekonomi Kreatif NTB Didorong Masuk Ekosistem Digital Khususnya institusi pembiayaan terkait industri IP seperti gim, animasi, dan aplikasi. Begitu juga sebaliknya bagi para pelaku usaha di industri IP, dapat memahami akses pembiayaan yang ada untuk industri ini, seperti Kredit Usaha Rakyat (KUR). "Proses diskusi ini harus dilakukan sebagai langkah awal. Sebab kami beri contoh seperti industri startup 10 tahun yang lalu. Belum banyak yang memahami proses bisnisnya sama dengan industri IP saat ini,” ungkapnya. Pada kesempatan yang sama, Staf Ahli Menparekraf Bidang Inovasi dan Kreativitas Joshua Puji Mulia Simanjuntak mengatakaan untuk pembiayaan industri kreatif ke perbankan tidak bisa dilepaskan dari jaminan atau agunan. BACA JUGA: Pelaku Ekonomi Kreatif Diberi Warung Rojali Oleh Kemenparekraf Namun sumber pembiayaan tidak hanya bersumber dari perbankan. Pemberi pinjaman tentu akan lebih melihat kemampuan penerima pinjaman untuk membayar pinjamannya.

Ivan Reitman, director of ‘Ghostbusters’ and ‘Stripes’ dead at 75

Ivan Reitman died peacefully in his sleep at the age of 75.

Legendary movie producer and director Ivan Reitman who worked on iconic comedies such as “Animal House” and “Ghostbusters,” has died at the age of 75.

Reitman died peacefully in his sleep at his home in Montecito, California, his family told the Associated Press.

“Our family is grieving the unexpected loss of a husband, father, and grandfather who taught us to always seek the magic in life,” children Jason Reitman, Catherine Reitman and Caroline Reitman said in a joint statement.

“We take comfort that his work as a filmmaker brought laughter and happiness to countless others around the world. While we mourn privately, we hope those who knew him through his films will remember him always.”

Reitman made his first splash in the comedy world producing the irreverent college fraternity film “National Lampoon’s Animal House,” starring John Belushi, in 1978.

He made his directorial debut working with Bill Murray in his first starring role in 1979’s summer camp comedy “Meatballs.”

Reitman died at his Montecito, California home. Reitman directed the “Ghostbusters” movies.

He again worked with Murray directing “Stripes,” which also starred John Candy and Harold Ramis.

Reitman truly left his mark on Hollywood history directing the beloved supernatural comedy “Ghostbusters” in 1984, starring Murray, Dan Aykroyd, Ramis, Ernie Hudson, Sigourney Weaver and Rick Moranis. The film grossed almost $300 million worldwide, earned two Oscar nominations and spawned a massive franchise and sequels, including Ghostbusters 2, which he also directed.

Reitman was born in Czechoslovakia in 1946, the son of the owner of the country’s largest vinegar factory. His family fled to Canada when he was only four years old as the communists began imprisoning capitalists.

Reitman also directed the movie “Twins.” Reitman’s son, Jason, has followed in his father’s directorial footsteps.Getty Images

In Toronto, Reitman began his career in the entertainment business starting a puppet show theater and entertaining at summer camps. He attended McMaster University in Hamilton, Ontario, where he studied music and first began making short films.

He became involved with the National Lampoon crew after producing a a weekly TV revue, “Greed,” with Aykroyd for $500 a week.

13 Spooky and Wonderful Fall Animated Films to Watch This October

+Check out our cozy fall films list at Animationforce.art

1) Spirited Away

This mythical Japanese bathhouse folktale is probably the most beautiful animated film on our list. Stream on HBO.

2) ParaNorman

This stop-motion charmer follows Norman, a boy whose ghost-seeing ability keeps him on the fringe of society — until he’s revealed as the only one to keep the zombie apocalypse at bay. Rent from your favorite service.

3) Revolting Rhymes

Charlie and the Chocolate Factory author Roald Dahl’s creepy fairy retellings are beautifully rendered in a two-part miniseries. We recommend checking this one out when you’re in the mood for a dark laugh. Stream on Netflix.

4) The Brave Little Toaster

The film that frightened many children holds up, if not as an amazing story, as a frightening bit of fun this fall. Rent from your favorite service, or stream the sequels on Disney+.

5) Coraline

Live action doesn’t have a full hold on spooky Neil Gaiman flicks. This stop-motion adaptation of Gaiman’s novel was directed by Henry Selick and launched LAIKA’s film production. Rent from your favorite service.

6) The Nightmare Before Christmas

Make it a Henry Selick double-feature with this dual-holiday special. This is a classic. Stream on Disney+.

7) The Addams Family

This 2019 computer animation is more cooky than creepy, but it’s a delight to see Morticia, Gomez and family return in animation. Stream on Hulu.

8) Monster House

Three kids investigate a house that appears to be eating the neighbors. Did we mention it was co-written by “Rick and Morty” / “Community” creator Dan Harmon? Catch on SyFy channel, or rent from your favorite service.

9) Corpse Bride

Tim Burton’s directorial debut was also animated by LAIKA on freelance terms, so you know it will satisfy that stop motion spooky itch you get every October. You guys get that, right? Is it just me? Rent from your favorite service.

10) A Monster in Paris

This French animated feature is not particularly creepy, as long as you aren’t frightened by a gigantic (albeit singing) bug. Stream on Amazon Prime Video.

11) Coco

A boy wants so badly to be a musician that he faces down his ancestors in the Land of the Dead, risking it all to uncover the truth of why his family hates what he loves. Stream on Disney+.

12) Kubo and the Two Strings

If you must blink, do it now.

Pixar’s Miguel is not the only boy with some seriously scary relatives. Kubo’s aunts are the creepiest things LAIKA has animated since Coraline, and the film itself is a breath-taking adventure story you should not miss. Rent from your favorite service.

13) The Black Cauldron

Although it was a failure in the box office, Disney’s worst kept secret has a solid following because of the dark fantasy’s heart. You don’t have to care for princesses or pig keepers as long as you want to see someone finally vanquish an evil king. Stream on Disney+.

DNP Rewatch: I HAVE JET LAG! ;_;

Date video was published: 08/10/2013 (X)

DNP Main Channel Rewatch: 191

DNP went to Anaheim for Vidcon from August 1 to August 5. Right before they left, Dan hit 2,000,000 subscribers! (It’s pretty amazing that it only took him ~6 months to get a million more.) While there, they went to Disneyland, did a loooong meet-and-greet (where someone gave them these capes), ate burgers and Cheesecake Factory,

Then they spent a few days in Hollywood, until they flew home on August 7. They had a glass bathroom in a hotel (what.), ate sushi, filmed “YouTubers React” for the first time, went to a wax museum (I think?), and played Mario Kart with Anthony.

So that’s what Phil has jetlag from...

0:00 - Phil’s hair is kind of long here again! Also are there no sheets on Phil’s bed, just the duvet?

0:09 - that is the worst feeling after travel

0:29 - lol at the picture he’s chosen for “my body”

0:30 - counting on his fingers to calculate the time difference. (I can’t judge because I do that when I’m not jet lagged.)

0:44 - got the “science” glasses! ...and a book about seashells(?)

1:00 - “everything is irritating” We don’t see much of irritated Phil, usually! (Now the book looks like it has pictures of bugs...and it’s called “The Animal World”, lol)

1:11 - alrighty, there you can see he’s actually reading his phone inside the book 😂

1:25 - why do I feel like it probably means sunlight, not that? hahaha

1:30 - so bright, yikes

1:40 - the milk in a wine glass! I love it and the running theme of them drinking not-wine out of wine glasses over the years.

1:49 - matching socks on this day 😲

1:53 - not trying the exercise or going outside, of course

2:03 - I knew it, lol. I like that he showed that though.

2:07 - his true passion for pancakes and lions on there only for the branding, hahaha

2:16 - Glozell is very loud and excited but DNP also seem excited!

2:32 - the meet and greet montage is great! DNP’s expressions are so consistent!

2:51 - yeah, that must have taken a while to put together

3:04 - the sponsored-monkey certificate ends up in their bathroom for some reason

3:17 - “crotch in the camera...sorry” what.

3:20 - Phil (and Dan) did quite a bit of filming for “Geek Week” earlier in the summer! Phil posted a couple of Instagram photos from the Star Trek shoot (1, 2) and Dan posted one from the Knightmare set.

3:41 - Phil’s acting 😂 I mean...he’s very self-aware of it though.

3:46 - that quiz show video. (2022 👀)

4:20 - Phil is so disappointed in himself at this moment

This is a simple but cute Phil video!

There’s another long gap before the next video, but they were quite busy the week after this too. Cat was visiting and they took her to tea; Phil wasn’t feeling well; and Summer in the City happened again (Dan Instagram photo), which they signed a bunch of posters for. Plus the radio show still, of course! I can’t believe how much they had going on at the same time in 2013, actually. They really were working constantly.

'(Un)Happiest Season' review

Simply put, it wasn't enjoyable as a romance or a comedy or a Christmas flick. It failed on many fronts, but this reviewer from Salon.com puts the thing into words for Happiest Season's main failings:

What's bad: There were two main criticisms of "Happiest Season." The first being: Can't LGBTQ audiences have a holiday movie where the main plot isn't about mining the anxiety and trauma associated with coming out, being closeted and casual homophobia? Then there's the fact that Harper really is just kind of the worst. After pushing Abby back in the closet, Harper ditches her in a town where she doesn't know anyone to go drink with her ex-boyfriend until two in the morning, then proceeds to call Abby "suffocating" when called on it. It's a pattern of s**ty behavior that is pervasive and present throughout the movie, so her redemption arc doesn't feel super genuine.

Why can't we have main queer characters in Christmas movies without their presence being all about their queerness? We want fluffy festiveness, dammit! They could've made Harper less selfish and more attentive while still playing into the *I'm not out yet Because Reasons so we need to hide our gay relationship* trope, but they didn't. Who knows why, but what a waste. 🎄👩‍❤️‍👩☃️

youtube

^ Look at that trailer and tell me you don't expect Misunderstandings with fun and tropey antics + Domestic Christmas Shenanigans + Comfort for Hurt! You will be sorely disappointed. 😞

NOTE: The flick does have a few good moments. And it's probably worth the watch just to see what's missing/mishandled when it comes to queer characters and queer romances in mainstream movies.

But it's not really fun or funny or heart-warming - where are the snowball fights? Insightful conversations? Christmas elements like eggnog/spiced wine, candycanes, mistletoe? Where are the many colourful side characters and the hungover brunches? We get one scene of ice-skating for a few minutes and it's wasted on sibling rivalry bs rather than, say.. Abby and Harper skating together but not being aloud to touch—omg the tension!! 😍

There's just not enough comfort for the hurt Abby (Kstew) goes through; the film wholly lacks those warm-n-fuzzy Christmas vibes; there's just way more wrong with it than is right with it - which sucks, because this had the potential to be such a great movie if only Harper was written as less ignorant/selfish and we'd gotten more enjoyable family interactions and more festive fun - like a celebration in town. Instead we get a few limited shots of the adorable town, a crappy bar, and an OTT fancy Christmas party for performative rich white folk on a career path for power and "perfection" (ie. wholesome family values).

The story they went with was definitely better suited for a dramatic film, so in a romcom setting it really didn't work. Plus the side-characters were flat; we needed more depth from the supporting characters, more meaningful interactions.

^ Look at those intro credits!! Look at all the domestic happy moments and tell me you don't want to see a movie filled with such fluffy festive goodness!! Well, if you don't want to see such moments, don't worry because you won't. I naturally thought we were going to get this kind of romantic-and-non-romantic happiness dispersed throughout the entire film, but no. Not a one. There's 5 minutes of Happy Couple at the start, and that's it 📸☹️ (unless you count a photo collage of the happy ending and year that follows stuffed into the end credits).

BTW: That intro song is the most Christmasy song in the whole movie. The soundtrack features modern pop songs which 1) don't help set the festive vibe and 2) are really fucking annoying; the song choices are grating, not pleasant, not enjoyable, and they overpower the scenes with a whole lotta noise. I really wish we'd gotten more tunes like the one above. 🎶

About the image below—Abby is actually miserable the entire time, getting worse by the day, barely a smile seen on her.. while Harper is the one schmoozing her family and contacts with teeth bared, so.. this image isn't what you'll get, just fyi:

(also: the only POC actors they had were the perfectionist-stone-faced-bitch's husband and his girlfriend - wife + hubby being secretly separated.)

The things that the Salon reviewer liked are the same things I did (see below), but imho even those elements weren't enough to save this film from being:

an infuriating 102 minute-comedy of errors buoyed by a healthy dose of gaslighting

More cons of the flick are pointed out by denofgeek.com:

Some of its issues come from the structure of the film, which shoehorns very real queer struggles into wacky rom-com tropes too fluffy to contain the stakes at hand. Meanwhile the choice to have one half of the lead couple be so aggressively and repeatedly cruel—while her high school ex Riley, played by the ever-perfect Aubrey Plaza was standing right there having all the chemistry in the world with the other romantic lead—was a fatal one.

It really was a dramatic plot idea crammed into a fluffy narrative. You can see the conflicting genres fighting to stay alive and they both die a slow, agonisingly dull death throughout the film. The whole *Abby being converted to loving Christmas by Harper inviting her to spend the holidays with her family* thing, only to have Harper force their relationship + Abby into the closet. Straight conversion much? I'm 100% sick of heteronormative bs in my queer Christmas films.

For the most part, when you're not feeling for Abby's harsh treatment by her would-be fiance and everyone but Riley ignoring her completely, you will be bored af from the lack of festive cheer - not just twinkle lights and boisterous seasonal music, but those good ol' homey family Christmas vibes. With the Harper house + family members, everything's a performance, so that lack of sincerity and warmth makes for a depressing viewing experience:

^ Jane (one of Harper's 2 sisters) is the only character allowed to be consistently genuine in the narrative (aside from John, but he's restricted mostly to phonecalls, and Riley - but even she's keeping Harper's secrets). Jane is the only character who is naturally vibrant and reminds us of some of the reasons we get excited about Christmas movies: to feel joy and to enjoy the company around us during the holiday season! 🎄☃️🥳 But rather than give us a fun day out with Jane + Abby, we get Abby + the second sister (i don't even remember her name, just BitchFace) which leads to more bad treatment of Abby - this time by two spoiled af no-smile rich kids. *le sigh* Jane carries the spark of honest joy for the entire Harper clan and that is TOO MUCH to expect of one character, let alone a side-character. 😪

There are so many ways the story could've been tweaked to make more sense and be somewhat enjoyable, including:

The orphan!Abby thing is just bad. Rather than give Abby a voice, chances to let her personality shine, almost everyone interacts with her to merely briefly express their condolences for her long-dead parents 🙄

Abby is a pet-minder, ie. she's an animal lover, yet at no point do we see her interact with animals! Not a dog or cat or hamster, no reindeer at the petting zoo, nothing. 🐕🐈🦎🦜🐠

Riley + Abby getting together (even just a kiss) 👄

Abby + Harper separating so Harper can get her shit together - and then we get several flashforward shots of them separately living their lives (Harper especially), and then meeting back up again - maybe the next holiday season, after some much-needed time apart 🏃‍♀️🤸‍♀️

side characters who engage with Abby in a sincere, meaningful way instead of ignoring her (again, we got Riley, but she was outside of the family dynamic) 😊

MORE FESTIVE CHEER! where were all the staple Christmassy passtimes, the smile-inducing season-specific experiences??? 🎉
