While we're on the subject of Godfather III, has anyone heard about the originally planned version of it? Instead of the crap we got, it would have involved Michael Corleone and Hagen fighting for control of the crime family. It didn't happen because Duvall wanted more money -- or, more accurately, he wanted to be paid equally. See, Pacino was to be paid three times more than Duvall, and in the script, they had equal screen-time. Here's a LINK to read more about it...

Here's a LINK  for the Bonfires scene with Gregory - judge for yourself. (You can also witness Cattrall & Griffith earning their Razzie nominations.)

I only found one critic who even mentioned Andre Gregory in Bonfire: J Hoberman of Village Voice called his cameo "witty," so I guess that was praise? The film had a huge cast, and the most-mentioned supporting actors were F. Murray Abraham, Saul Rubinek and Morgan Freeman. I was surprise his last speech didn't get nominated, though most agreed he was good, and merely got stuck having to give the worst speech ever!  ]]> Wed, 16 Jan 2013 16:03:13 +0000 http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=340&PID=53503#53503 1990 RAZZIE® Nominees & "Winners" : Owen Glieberman of Entertainment... http://www.razzies.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=340&PID=53502#53502 Author: whennow

Owen Glieberman of Entertainment weekly was a big defender of Sofia Coppola, and Godfather III -- The EW cover story on how Sofia Coppola "wrecked" Godfather III had a quote from Glieberman saying she was great, and accusing people of attacking her because they hated Francis Ford Coppola!! So there was one critic, at least! I think there was another who said her bad acting was so beyond bad it is actually a peek at a real person, and was thus good for the film and helped it!

Yeah, I figured Gregory probably wouldn't have been mentioned - like I said, almost no review brought him up. Maybe critics had all completely written the film off by the scene where he appeared?

(His role, by the way, was that of the AIDS-afflicted poet at the big party halfway through the film; he spends all his time talking about the themes in Don Giovanni in a very loud voice, either to Tom Hanks directly, or to other guests within earshot. It's clearly meant to make Hanks feel awkward and to compare his own situation with that of Don Giovanni himself -- but comes off as just plain awkward. "REPENT! REPENT!")

I must be one of the few people in this world who didn't think Sofia Coppola was all that bad - perhaps all the negative reviews she got lowered my expectations too much! I wouldn't call her good, but she certainly wasn't awful (and definitely not the 'worst female performance of all time' as the Head RAZZberry wrote). Perhaps because Coppola had usually shown such good casting sense in the earlier movies this really stuck out.

One big omission here, at least to me, is the embarrassing Andre Gregory cameo in The Bonfire of the Vanities. The film got a late-December release so it certainly was in the minds of a lot of Razzie voters, and Gregory had a pretty good reputation & movie track record . . . what the HELL were he & Brian De Palma thinking here? The film was just barely alive by this point but it was left stone cold dead by the time he departed. Oddly, I don't recall him ever being mentioned in any review the movie got - perhaps that's why it was such a shock to me; I was already expecting the rest of the cast to humiliate themselves.

I have to ask the HeadRAZZberry: Was Gregory ever considered for a slot? (For that matter, was Willis? He's carved out a decent spot for himself over the years here).   


RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: We're talking more than 20 years ago here and, to be honest, I don't even recall Gregory being in BONFIRE OF INANITIES. I seem to recall Willis was on the Nominating Ballot, but did not make the final five for Worst Actor.

As for Sofia Coppola in GODFATHER III: Yes, you are probably one of the few people in the world who didn't think she was "all that bad" -- The derision with which her performance was greeted was nearly universal...

HeadRAZZ, Why wasn't Troll 2 nominated for anything? Was it too obscure when it was first released?  

RESPONSE from Head RAZZberry: Having just checked at both IMDb and B.O. MoJo, I am not sure if TROLL 2 (IMDb LINK) was ever released theatrically in the US. Neither site has a record of it's having grossed anything, and all the so-called "release dates" listed on IMDb are for film festival showings. 

If indeed is was not ever shown in theatres, it would not have qualified for RAZZIE® consideration under our rules...
