I meant "the point isn't." Dammit. I meant “the point isn’t.”

It's joke about Internet "rediscoverings" of old crappy movies that become funny outside of their time, like Troll 2. The whole premise is up front about its artificiality and I guess that's what you have to get over to enjoy it. I'm sure Andy McKay just thinks that movie is real funny and it would be real funny if people were holding Rocky Horror Picture Show-style midnight screenings of it in New York. It makes it even funnier that Rosie O'Donnell is gross and intolerable these days. I agree this whole thing would be funnier if this movie were somehow rediscovered on its own, but I think it's still a good joke as it is. I remember actually liking this movie when I was a kid, but then again, I liked a lot of shit (as in crap) when I was a kid. The point is to actually make Another Stakeout a legitimate cult classic.

It is artificial to make something a cult classic this way.

I remember the scene with Rosie and Dreffuss pretending to be husband and wife being a crowd-pleaser. Its an interesting choice by McKay, indeed. As Sean said its not a 10 on the cornball factor. I begged my parents to take me to this as I was a huge John Badham fan at the time of its release. As a 12 or 13 year-old, his filmography was just superb.

I'd rather elevate something like James Garner's "Tank" (with C Thomas Howell) than this. I hate Rosie O’Donnell way to much to contribute.
