A (sort of) music related post. I found this VHS copy of Ishtar at my family’s house this weekend. This movie was a total flop in the 80s, and starred Warren Beatty and Dustin Hoffman. It actually was synonymous with failure, as indicated by the Far Side cartoon’s “A Video Store in Hell”, in which every video in the store was a copy of Ishtar! The irony for me is I think it’s hilarious! The plot is basically that Beatty and Hoffman form a Simon and Garfunkel style duo and get wrapped up in some spy intrigue in the Middle East. Hilarity ensues. Now it’s lost in the annals of time. Also, for those in the know- this video is a copy from Erol’s! #ishtarmovie #vhs #erols #ishtar #thefarside #dustinhoffman #warrenbeatty #flop #80s #the80s #lostintime #popculture #popcultureamnesia #forgotten #forgottentoosoon #yalldontknow https://www.instagram.com/p/B2sSEubnkOB/?igshid=argb0438gpx8
