A real shame. After the classic “The Deer Hunter”, Chimino could’ve been destined for Scorsese-like success. But, this disaster put a fast end to that.
Great episode. Stallone, Albert Brooks, a cult classic and a legendary flop. That dialogue in Excalibur is so arch and stiff. That’s the kind of writing spoof movies were invented to make fun of. I think I like their early ’80s shows the best. They’re right in between the clunkier ’70s years and the maybe too slickly produced Disney years. Dog of the week was a fun feature. I guess it got replaced with home video pick of the week later.
Ah, Heaven’s Gate. The movie that put the New Hollywood movement out of it’s misery, especially after Jaws and Star Wars made SO much $$$.

I just saw Excalibur and really enjoyed it. However, I would love to see Napoleon if I can find a good DVD copy.
