The amazing thing is that when you look at the direction of that small scene, its intended to be haunting.

Michael Chiklis career is pretty remarkable knowing he was in this. Lucky him for more than salvaging it

Fun fact: The guy playing Angel the cab driver, Ray Sharkey, is said to have been the guy who enabled John Belushi to get back on drugs and break his sobriety after he got sober to film CONTINENTAL DIVIDE, leading him to die the next year. And as Brad alluded to in the review, Ray Sharkey was deep into drugs himself, and even contracted HIV, but he convinced himself he had a strain of HIV that wouldn't become AIDS and gave it to a whole load of women, and one of those women even sued Sharkey before he died of AIDS in 1993. ...okay, maybe that wasn't necessarily a "fun" fact, but hey, the more you know.

To this day, I still remember the disturbing numbness and furious anger I felt leaving the theater after seeing this abomination. I loved the book, as sad as it was, and I thought maybe the movie would try to capture the tragedy of John's death. Instead, it was an infuriating mess for anyone who loved John's talent. It was bad enough that they wallow in tone-deaf comedy while John is dying, but to say he went to hell was beyond the pale. Just obscene.

Funny thing is, Chiklis' performance was also criticized when this first came out. But, like Brad, I beg to differ. Extremely talented actor, and, although very successful, I still think he isn't given enough roles or variety worthy of his gifts.

Belushi's body was literally strapped to the wing of the plane to get him to Martha's vineyard. So it was actually worse than what was portrayed in the movie. I really don't have a problem with it, he was dead after all, and having his body as soon as possible helped Judy to feel better, and that's what's important. People who aren't married, or have children, don't understand how much it helps to have the body close by.

Man, this movie was so morbid in a wrong way. It's like all they could focus on was the fact he died of a drug overdose, he was not a drug addicted sad sack no matter what this movie tells you. I am sure if he could have, back then he would have gotten treatments at rehab. I mean imagine if someone did a biopic about John Candy where the whole message is 'this guy was overweight. Being overweight is evil and you will die if you are like that.' Or making a biopic about Robin Williams where Williams is constantly being depressed and not pleased with his life. It would just be Williams crying and nothing else. In addition to this, also it would be like doing a MJ biopic that pretty much just says 'he was a pedophile' based on the supposed accusations he got of child molestation. The Late Shift (while not a biopic) actually does a terrific job of adapting the book it is based on and the performances are pretty good,, Roebuck's Jay Leno isn't entirely spot on but Leno himself praised his performance and Kathy Bates pretty much steals the show as Helen. The point is, Wired is what you show people when you are doing a lecture on how NOT to make a biopic.

This movie does the opposite of what a biopic should, but it certainly did inspire me to track down Belushi’s movies and learn more about who he was before he died and it’s some interesting stuff.

Is the Akroyd character a self-righteous prick in all of his scenes? Because the real Dan Akroyd openly admits that he did drugs. When talking about Belushi's issues with cocaine in an interview, he said, "I did it. Everyone did it." I mean, I can imagine Belushi's friends being concerned about him, but I doubt they were so condescending. Brad is right. You can't make a movie about John Belushi without talking about his drug problems. But for Christ's sake, it's called tact. A film could make commentary about excess in the 80, show how hard it is to break those addictions when it's so readily available, and look at how Belushi struggled, while still showing him as the amazing entertainer he was.

Emphasis on FICTION. Because whoever wrote this screenplay was NO Belushi fan. Scary thought.... the flashback story where that 'angel' is taking John around is like a uber BAD version of *It's a Wonderful Life* called, *"It's a Royally Botched Up Life"* . For all of Andy Kaufman's theatrical antics, MAN ON THE MOON at least showed the 'human' side of the actor/performance artist. .

If Keith Moon had died in the 80’s instead of the 70’s I feel like this is the type of movie they would make about him......... It was a very sensacionalized era, and it was a story kinda similar to Belushi's at the end of the day.

well the duo were once slightly scheduled to portray thompson and his attorney, so maybe THATS the connection?? i dunno just a guess

RIP Cathy Smith I guess.

I can’t decide on my favourite Cinema Snob word. It’s between “Snook” and “Pah-tay-dah”
