We want to be surprised Remember satumday SH,HT LIVES spoof of bad movies with Dan Aykroyd playing Leonard Pinth Gar nell, a man who relished introducing bad cinema? By the end of this year you can go to your local movie house and pay to see It Came from Hollywood, a compilation of film clips from some of the worst "old, bad movies" ever. Just for some marquee value, Paramount has tab lied Richard Pryor, Gilda Radner and Cheech and Chong as narrators. Where Are the Brains? S teve martin has just completed filming The Man with Two llrains, a comedy that takes him away from the heady work he did on Pennies from Heaven and Dead Men Don't Wear Plaid and puts him back into the "wild and crazy humor" of his first film, The Jerk. This time Martin plays a world famous brain surgeon who has just developed the "cranial screwtop’ method of surgery. While being interviewed by an intrepid reporter he spies beautiful Kathleen Turner (Body Ileal), who is conveniently hit by his car so Steve can perform the operation that will save her life. Nat urally, he falls in love, marries her and the two speed off to Vienna to combine their honeymoon with his lecture at the Institute of Craniology. Unfortunately, Turner proves to be a tacky tart and Steve takes refuge with a brain floating all alone in a lab tank (it's true). The dilemma — does he find a body for his new true love or just join her in cerebral bliss? The world will find out next summer when Warner Bros, releases the pic ture. Who Stole My Last Three Pages?

Well, just as Sheinherg was getting to the end — there was no ending. The last three pages of his script were missing. He called the producer to complain, but was told, "You're right, no one gets to read the last three pages.” Though not the usual way in the movie biz, Sheinherg saw the light. The picture still went on to film around LA. with Tony Perkins and Vera Mites reprising their roles. The ending?

But the finicky, leather-clad lads were worried about what said appearance might do to their “image.” (How much "image” can imeone from Downey, CA have?) Anyway, after weeks of fretting they nixed the offer, much to the pleasure of the Bus Boys — an eager, ambitious, rockin’ assemblage of black and chicano musicians (okay, just one chicano). The Bus Boys were in line for fame a couple of seasons ago, with an Ampersarul cover, a Rolling Stone feature and a last-minute-cancelled Time feature, plus a budding friendship with Mssrs.

Actually, Travolta had wanted to do the biopic of the late .lint Morri son, but both the Doors and Paramount (to whom Travolta owed his next picture) resisted. Neverthe less, he still plans to make Fire, a script written by Brian DePalma, that is to Morrison what The Hose was to Janix Joplin.
