Onlinewsma Absolutely Brilliant!

Juana what a terribly boring film. I'm sorry but this is absolutely not deserving of best picture and will be forgotten quickly. Entertaining and engaging cinema? No. Nothing performances with flat faces and mistaking silence for subtlety.

Spyan I really don't understand all the negativity around this film. By 2000 or so I was already sick and tired of Hollywood productions turning to money grubbing garbage, and I first saw this movie at around that time.I found it very funny, smart and absolutely spot-on. The actors doing cameos are visibly having a lot of fun mocking the industry, and the film demolishes and makes fun of everything I hate about Hollywood and the star system. People who hated this film obviously didn't get it, and I guess they deserve the dozens of rancid turds Hollywood throws at our faces year after year. If you're a "transformers" or "fast and furious" fan, you probably won't like it, even hate it for having too many "insiders" jokes and references. I didn't think the humor was obscure or ellitist at all, It's just a really funny jab at Hollywood, and god knows how it deserves it. For one thing, I felt thrilled that many people shared the ideas I have about the movie business, it's one of these gratyfying moments where you go "thank god-I'm not the only one thinking this". It really saddens me to see so many people hating this film, because it confirms what I've been knowing for quite some time : most of the people are idiots and have stopped using their brains decades ago, hence the general quality of movies nowadays going downhill very fast, at an ever increasing rate. I'm just clueless as to how this film can be rated below 4 when awful, idiotic and vulgar turd-burgers such as "Ted" get 7+. The answer : humanity is doomed by it's own filthy ignorance and stupidity. Sad.

john_phelan911 Congratulations. This fetid corpse of a movie managed to replace Smokey and the Bandit 3 as my 'Gold Standard' of eye slicingly grim movie making.Its cheese meltingly smug yet testicle chillingly amateurish at the same time. Its supposed to be a movie from a Hollywood 'Insider' but the stars are washed up old lags Eric Idle and Ryan O'Neal. Its also so boring it could, in some cases, cause death. The director had his name removed from the credits of this film. He may also want to remove his name from any public records so as to avoid detection by people who paid to see this pile of dead monkeys. This film blows more than a tornado in a trailer park.

Lee Eisenberg OK, so we all know that Alan Smithee is the name that directors use when they want to disassociate themselves from their bad movies, and that Joe Eszterhas is one of the people most associated with such movies. But in this case, a real director named Alan Smithee (Eric Idle) makes a movie so downright God-awful - it stars Whoopi Goldberg, Jackie Chan, and Sylvester Stallone as kick-ass mother****ers - that he destroys it. The rest of the movie portrays interviews with insiders putting in their two cents about the whole ordeal.This is certainly a devastating look at Hollywood, and they pull no punches here. I think that when "An Alan Smithee Film: Burn Hollywood Burn" came out, some critics said that it was as bad as the movie portrayed. But I thought that they did a good job. A particularly funny scene...well, I'll just tell you that it's associated with Keith Moon.So why is it that Hollywood likes to make fun of itself so much?

n8186w If you are in the feature film industry, what makes this picture so funny is the close parody... some of the characters appear to be modeled on real people. It would not be too far a stretch of the imagination to believe that two of the characters are parodies of Peter Guber and John Peters of Sony Pictures. Read the true story of these two guys' careers, documented in the book, Hit and Run, then watch Burn Hollywood Burn again. You will probably find the film twice as entertaining as the first time you watched it. After having last watched the film 7 years ago, I bought the DVD this week because I wanted to see if I could grab the title track that I liked, and I also clearly remembered (and liked) the graffiti art that was drawn for the movie title. Once I got the DVD in my hands, though, I watched the film all the way through again, and enjoyed it every bit as much as the first time I saw it.
