08.25.09 BADDER LIEUTENANT: MORAL RELATIVISM, DRUGS
“TWO John Leguizamos? “
The recent electronic press kit for Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans (trailer here) is out. In it, Werner Herzog says:
“When you look at America at this time, in a way it felt right: do the darkest film imaginable,” [...]
“I’m someone who has no idea what drugs do to you [Ed. - make your films more funny, for one thing],” he said regarding the film’s excessive drug use. “So I had to ask the writer [Ed.- who is, Werner added, "a huuuge basehead"] and more competent people, ‘what does it do to you?’ So I had to be advised. In a way I don’t really care that much.” [...] ”I’ve never seen a film with excessive use of drugs, I do not see that many films” [theplaylist]
You’re missing out, Herzog. I see films with an excessive use of drugs all the time. I mean, I have to. Ever tried watching The Spirit while sober? Can’t be done. There’s another quote I’ll place below because it might be a spoiler. Also below are the first photos from the set (most of them courtesy of Collider). I especially liked this one of Werner with the director of photography. I dare you to trash his lights.
Does Herzog spoil the film (careful now) when he says, “I don’t care about this kind of definition, who is ‘good,’ who is ‘bad.’ Actually, his real evil, his real bad behavior solves an almost unsolvable case. He gets a result. He brings the murderers to justice, but he does it in very unusual ways.” [Ed.- Catapults? Oh please let it be catapults.] Does this thing even need a plot? Just yell, “action” and watch Nic Cage go nuts, right? It probably matters little if that actually is a spoiler. [theplaylist]

Bladder Lieutenant? What? Is Nic Cage incontinent now?
Also, who’s the fat chick in the suit next to Nicky in pic 6?
Needs less Nic Cage and more Harvey Keitel full frontal. Also true for children’s birthday parties.
Hey Herzog ya fukwit, good and bad have a shit load to do with drug use. The difference between stepped on and stomped on has alot to do with whether you have a nose bleed for two days after a bitchin coke bender.
Oh, and Rescue Dawn was mediocre at best so I expect you to bland this up as well.
Bad Liuetenant: Port of Call New Orleans… really? Sounds like the PSP version of a shitty GTA copycat.
Sorry boPa, but I watched The Spirit shitfaced and it was still horrible.
I’m not really counting it as a spoiler. Herzog could have saved himself time by saying “It’s just like the first one”.
Stay away from the drugs Val Kilmer is borrowing from Jerry Lewis. Bloated Lieutenant will not find an audience.

Burnsy, tell me you watched The Spirit because you were shitfaced.
Drugs are only bad when the heroin balloon pops in your stomach.
Be criminal to catch criminal leave same amount of bad guys on streets. End only justify means when masturbation involved.
Port of Call New Orleans?
Fuck me.
I often wonder how Nick Cage decides on his next projects. I’m convinced he has a little evil Castor Troy pop up on his right shoulder and a mini Sean Archer pop up on his left…except that one’s really just Castor Troy again with Sean Archer’s face.
