Good fan edit candidate

I know what you're saying, but no. For one thing, I am not a fan of this movie, I'm a Belushi fan. Then, I just got off another board where I said the movie has nothing going for it (Belushi's widow or friends can bust my balls all they want, but at least the book was entertaining,) but where I was going was that it's a BORE. It's nothing you can't reimagine yourself, it's nothing that documentaries can't do better. I know you think an edit could save it, and I'm not saying anything about the actors, but there's just not enough material for anyone to ever think there was anything entertaining about Belushi, and to everyone else, it's like the film "Lenny" where everyone is talking about the downside of his life before he dies. It sucks.

I mean, I'd liked to have seen the Andy Kaughman movie as good, but I was bored with that. Without this movie being JUST BAD, it'd be just boring or depressing. The acting is all as good as it could be, but there's not enough material. This isn't Lenny Bruce. This is a guy who became a great comedic star, a guy who was responsible for hits for his personality that weren't totally the charactors' he created, but a lot of it was him induced in those charactors. Belushi made some serious scratch, and worked with producers that spent a lot of money on films he was in. He wasn't entirely the first out of a sketch comedy show, but he was one of the most iconic, and they didn't do some stupid script two weeks after he did one successful sketch. In fact, Bluto wasn't inspired by Saturday Night, but, as I recall, the "Animal House" boosted Saturday Nights' ratings. Then, boom, the guy dies three years later.

For one thing, they could do a GREAT film about the original Not Ready For Prime Time Players, and all their debauchery-- from all of 'em-- and make it a little funny, a little sad, and should be okay with Belushi's estate and friends, because they were all crazy-- him just a little more. But, to keep Belushi alone in a corner (like he was the only person like that in the SEVENTIES) plays on the naitivity of the audience.

I want everyone to fess up. Chevy was on the coke, Bill was drinking, Gilda had some weight issues at a time-- and there were seedy charactors throughout. By the same token, it all ended up genius, and they were some of the ballsiest people on TV when TV meant something. Then people would know who they were-- unlike this crap...
