Heavens’s Gate - which destroyed United Artists.

Seriously? That is amazing. After reading the review, It reminded me of one of those project that had no management or tracking. Only in the end do you find out you have been wasting yhour time for months because nobody had the guts to raise red flags along the way.

I’m still reminded of that scene in the Howard Hughs movie where Hughs goes into a hanger where his mechanic/engineer/inventor is refining the steam powered car. Hugh’s said he’s cancelling the project and the guy says, “but we’re almost there! I’ve put condensers in the doors, trunk, etc. and we think it will work.

At which point Hughs grabs this huge wrench and says, “this is a buick” and proceeds to throw it at the running steam car in the room. Steam everywhere. “We just cooked the passengers. The project is cancelled.”

That movie needed a Hughs.
