In the Can

You Lose Some, You Lose Some authors Lou Harry and Eric Furman continue their preoccupation with failure with In the Can -- a look at fifty major movie stars and their biggest critical and box office duds. Some stars' lowest moments may be obvious, while others take a bit more digging. Sections include: * Bury It (or, Go Directly to Video/DVD): Including Jerry Lewis's legendary (and never released) The Day the Clown Cried and Jim Varney and Kareem Abdul-Jabbar in Slam Dunk Ernest. * Out of the Vaults: Forgotten movies that get dragged into the spotlight when a star hits it big, like Kevin Costner's Sizzle Beach U.S.A. and Sylvester Stallone's Party at Kitty and Stud's. * Oscar Jinx: You'd think an Oscar would lead one to better projects. Sometimes you'd be wrong. Think Jane Darwell after The Grapes of Wrath or Marisa Tomei after My Cousin Vinny.
