Back in the day before RT, it was Ishtar. My parents loved that movie.

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.

Memetics predate language.
