The Hot Spot. D: Dennis Hopper. S: Don Johnson.Virginia Madsen. Jennifer Connelly.

[Hazel Motes]

Okay so I love Easy Rider and Out of the Blue, both directed by Dennis Hopper. So I thought I’d give this a shot. I’m about a third of the way through and besides Madsen and Connelly’s stunning beauty, this is maybe the corniest movie I’ve ever seen. I can’t stop laughing. The dialogue is like A.I saw a bad Tennessee Williams adaptation and wrote a script. I just stopped to create this thread after cackling like a hyena over the gratuitous Don Johnson ass shot that looks like it influenced an entire team of season one NYPD Blue writers. Also if I never see a close up of Don Johnson’s face while he’s getting a blowjob again, it’ll be too soon.

I’ll finish it. But I can’t see how this film can be saved. Unless it goes full Tommy Wiseau.
