From retroCRUSH: “When Rock Stars Make Movies: The Good, the Bad, and the Just Plain Unwatchable” (Volume 1).
Revisit the screen roles of some of your favorite songsters: Vanilla Ice! The Fat Boys! MC Hammer! Susanna Freakin’ Hoffs…!
Here, for instance, is retroCRUSH’s review of that much ballyhooed 1988 Jeff Goldblum, Cyndi Lauper vehicle, Vibes:
Ugh! A film featuring 3 hours of graphic butt sex between Carrot Top and Jm. J Bullock would have more chemistry than this monstrosity. Jeff Goldblum, who’s about 8 feet taller than Lauper, seems to be waiting for a paycheck as he rattles off his lines while Lauper’s high pitched cartoony voice makes your ears bleed.
Good stuff.
But please, “rock stars”, rC? Let’s not get carried away…
Out of passive-aggression, I forwarded retroCRUSH’s Carrot Top/Bullock analogy on to various friends, adding, “THERE! Try to get <b>that</b> image out of your head.
<p>One friend wrote back, “Since JJB is the voice of “Queerduck”, I have a mental image of Queerduck sodomizing Carrot Top—and that mental image is just FUNNY.”
