The Fractured Favorite at Nathan Rabin's Bad Ideas is Sam Peckinpah's dark masterpiece, Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia.

If you'd told me fifteen years ago that President Donald Trump would insist that the only reason Spenser Pratt was not elected Mayor of Los Angeles was due to rampant cheating, I probably would not have believed you, because the world wasn't quite so terrible and surreal then.
His last film was actually Ernest in the Army, which is also terrible, weird and offensive. I love Jim Varney and Ernest but they ended on a very bleak note.

I wrote a blog post a few years back about John Cusack's weird descent into fake-seeming direct-to-streaming schlock, so it was nice to revisit 1997's Grosse Pointe Blank and be reminded that he made a lot of good movies, albeit in the increasingly distant past. www.nathanrabin.com/happy-place/...
