There is nothing wrong with Ishtar as a film. It’s not perfect, but it’s actually a decent comedy. The problem is that the production ran over budget by such a huge amount that it killed Elaine May’s directing career and it became a meme even before memes were a thing.
Meanwhile if the same guy showed up on lemmy telling you how much their corporate job sucks and their boss is completely clueless, everyone would pile on to say they should quit.
