“
Like most people today, Judy was a cynic and was offended
by the slightest hint of fantasy.” So reads a portion of the opening text of
the new movie directed and co-written (with his now former wife, Louise
Stratten) by Peter Bogdanovich. This clunky observation, I think, misreads the
modern or post-modern condition rather grievously. Cynicism today is in fact
fed by fantasy, or at least delusion; it’s a mask that affects to connote a
reckoning with The Real, which in fact merely enables its wearers to distract
themselves from the true horror of the world as it is today. But anyway.

Short Circuit actor Fisher Stevens regrets playing an Indian character
May 13, 2021 by:
SHORT CIRCUIT is probably one of the most memorable films of the 80s, thanks mostly to the likable talking robot, Johnny 5. Released on
May 9, 1986, Johnny 5 still feels like a next-level movie star, brought to life via a combination of then-cutting-edge special effects, as well as old-fashioned puppeteering and a solid vocal performance from Tim Blaney. While Johnny 5 has continued to age well for most fans of the film, one element of the movie that seems frozen in time is Fisher s Stevens performance as Indian engineer Ben Jabituya. Fisher Stevens, a white man, plays up the heavily stereotyped role for laughs and would continue to do in the 1988 sequel but now Stevens says he would never do that part again today.
