Kevin’s Live-Tweet of ‘The Adventures of Pluto Nash’

On December 2, Kevin finished up his turkey leftovers by live-tweeting The Adventures of Pluto Nash. Here’s a log, complete with time-code for your home-viewing pleasure.

     


Turkey leftover #13 is “THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH,” a movie which was only released because of a guild strike. #kevincarrtweetsturkeys

PLUTO NASH 01:00 – Opening credits over a rap version of “Blue Moon.” Why?

PLUTO NASH 01:40 – Damn… there’s a lot of pretty big names in this movie. Blows my mind that no one figured it would suck.

PLUTO NASH 02:00 – Frank Capra III is a producer. Sins of the grandson, I guess.

PLUTO NASH 03:00 – Jay Mohr in a kilt, playing an acordion. Even worse than the rap version of “Blue Moon.”

PLUTO NASH 04:40 – “Am I supposed to piss in the kitchen?” This is some class-A dialogue.

PLUTO NASH 05:20 – Both WATERWORLD and this film begin with a scene in which the “hero” is peeing… coincidence?

PLUTO NASH 06:30 – It does seem that Eddie Murphy is trying to channel Axel Foley in space.

PLUTO NASH 07:25 – It’s a life-long dream of Pluto to have his own club. He should meet Gene Kelly and open a roller disco called Xanadu.

PLUTO NASH 08:45 – Seven years in the future now. Which means seven years in the future future. This is like a DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES episode.

PLUTO NASH 09:30 – I’m pretty sure these extras were right out of XANADU.

PLUTO NASH 10:20 – I guess the “karate chop” dance is the wave of the future.

PLUTO NASH 11:30 – Salt Lake City is a rough town in 2087. Yup, that’s the kind of jokes they throw down in this movie.

PLUTO NASH 12:05 – So everyone has a nick name in this movie. I guess it’s because Axel Nash spent time in the joint.

PLUTO NASH 14:00 – Oh balls! Randy Quaid as a bodyguard robot? This is their version of R2-D2 crossed with Chewbacca.

PLUTO NASH 14:50 – Wah Wah Wah Waaaaaah… Hilary Clinton on the money.

PLUTO NASH 16:00 – Oranges in a bowl on the table. Are they doing a GODFATHER thing? Something bad is going to happen… like the movie.

PLUTO NASH 17:35 – So the movie’s about Pluto trying to save his squeaky clean night club from being turned into a casino? WTF?

PLUTO NASH 18:15 – The direction to Randy Quaid was, “Walk like a Ken doll, please.”

PLUTO NASH 19:15 – I weep for Randy Quaid.

PLUTO NASH 19:50 – Andy Kaufman was a more convincing robot in HEARTBEEPS.

PLUTO NASH 20:15 – “You know how hard it is to get wood on the moon?” Was that meant to be a double meaning?

PLUTO NASH 21:00 – This movie has all the production value of a STAR WARS rip-off c. 1978, like BATTLE BEYOND THE STARS.

PLUTO NASH 24:10 – She called the robot a “toaster.” Could he really be a Cylon?

PLUTO NASH 26:00 – I am hopelessly bored with this movie right now. All this exposition with cloning talk is pretty hard to watch.

PLUTO NASH 28:40 – The pocket computer they just showed doesn’t even look as advanced as an iPhone.

PLUTO NASH 29:00 – And now we’re discussing Rosario Dawson’s ass. It’d be fine if we had a visual aid to go with it.

PLUTO NASH 30:50 – This movie is like a series of bad SNL sketches with an awful plot to string things together.

PLUTO NASH 32:55 – Jesus! Again with Rosario Dawson’s ass!

PLUTO NASH 33:10 – Pam Grier as Pluto’s mother. Even Jackie Browne can’t save this movie.

PLUTO NASH 34:30 – The set design looks like a larger version of Chuck E Cheese’s sky toobs.

PLUTO NASH 35:25 – An electric organ in the soundtrack? That doesn’t even make sense.

PLUTO NASH 38:20 – John Cleese??? Nooooooooooooo!

PLUTO NASH 39:25 – Was that “Trump Realty” sign supposed to be a joke or some bad business decision product placement?

PLUTO NASH 40:55 – So Pluto Nash has put Rosario Dawson to sleep. Funny… PLUTO NASH is putting me to sleep too.

PLUTO NASH 42:50 – So the soundtrack just uses any song with “moon” in the lyrics, even if they don’t make sense to the story

PLUTO NASH 46:00 – Alec Baldwin too? This cast is like a crappy animated film… loaded with names, all sucking wind.

PLUTO NASH 47:15 – Trying to concentrate on this plot is like trying to take a driver’s test with a BAC of 0.24

PLUTO NASH 48:45 – A happiness chip? Again, is this supposed to be a joke. It doesn’t even register as a joke.

PLUTO NASH 50:00 – So when are the “adventures” going to start in THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH?

PLUTO NASH 51:00 – Why do all the bad guys in their space suits look like they’ve just filled their diapers?

PLUTO NASH 53:15 – Science geek alert… The moon has only 1/6 gravity… not zero-Gs.

PLUTO NASH 55:25 – Stay on target!

PLUTO NASH 56:55 – “Die die, Pluto Nash.” My sentiments, exactly. If only.

PLUTO NASH 58:10 – There is really nothing in this movie that couldn’t be fixed with explosive decompression in the vacuum of space.

PLUTO NASH 1:00:20 – Will the main characters suffocate and die? We can only hope so.

PLUTO NASH 1:01:40 – It’s good to know that racial stereotypes are alive and well in 2087.

PLUTO NASH 1:03:00 – Who was it that decided that Luis Guzman recounting robot sex makes a funny scene? BOOGIE NIGHTS this isn’t.

PLUTO NASH 1:03:50 – Seriously? We have a battery connection on Randy Quaid’s junk?

PLUTO NASH 1:06:15 – I just got a snack. Did I miss anything? No. Missed nothing at all.

PLUTO NASH 1:07:45 – Randy Quaid’s hair looks like an Andy Warhol reject.

PLUTO NASH 1:08:50 – Luis Guzman has pretty low standards for his casino barflies.

PLUTO NASH 1:10:10 – And we come full circle with Jay Mohr’s character. Full circle, like spinning down the toilet drain.

PLUTO NASH 1:10:55 – Whoa! That’s a lotta ass for a thong that size.

PLUTO NASH 1:11:20 – I’m pretty sure I just saw Jay John’s reverse camel toe.

PLUTO NASH 1:12:15 – Watching Eddie Murphy kissing Rosario Dawson is like watching him drink from a juice box.

PLUTO NASH 1;13:30 – They don’t seem to realize that cloning someone doesn’t make the same personality.

PLUTO NASH 1:14:15 – “I know a way to get you in that penthouse.” Of course, it will involve lots of lubricant.

PLUTO NASH 1:15:40 – This jumping over the shaft scene reminds me of POSEIDON. Not in a good way.

PLUTO NASH 1:16:40 – Holy crap. Is that guy eating a moon pie? Seriously? Are the producers part of the Moonie cult too?

PLUTO NASH 1:17:40 – Randy Quaid’s wig is as effective of a disguise as Clark Kent’s glasses.

PLUTO NASH 1:18:30 – Poop nuggets! It isn’t an Eddie Murphy movie if he doesn’t play more than one character.

PLUTO NASH 1:19:20 – What was it about movies released in 2002 and clones. It’s like transforming robots in 2009.

PLUTO NASH 1:20:10 – One of the bad guys is named Mr. Kelp? Are we in an episode of SpongeBob SquarePants?

PLUTO NASH 1:20:50 – How many times are they going to do a reveal of two Eddie Murphys?

PLUTO NASH 1:22:00 – This movie is all about taking over a night club??? WTF? Who cares!?

PLUTO NASH 1:22:50 – For a movie that was a huge gamble and a failure, this movie has a really strong anti-gambling bent to it.

PLUTO NASH 1:24:50 – That is a pretty neat desk. I want one of those in my house.

PLUTO NASH 1:26:45 – Are we supposed to be happy that Club Pluto can continue with Rosario singing and people doing the karate dance?

PLUTO NASH 1:28:20 – Nothing like a robot condom joke to end this movie. 110 volts to 220. Lame.

PLUTO NASH 1:29:35 – And ROLL CREDITS!

Final thoughts on THE ADVENTURES OF PLUTO NASH… The movie did its part to prepare Eddie Murphy for MEET DAVE.

Follow Kevin on…

    [...] 5. The Adventures of Pluto Nash (2002) Here’s Eddie Murphy again, with one of his vehicles topping the worst films of the decade. This film is such a failure because it had so much going for it – from the cast to the budget. Only pulled off the shelf to be released in the wake of an actor’s strike, “The Adventures of Pluto Nash” was an embarrassment to all who worked on it.
