Theres a fair bit of anger here and most of it pretty much uncalled for. (Surely the whole point of the article is that the authors tongue is very much in his cheek). Maybe the conqueror is a stretch but the rest of the films are pretty much dead-on, especially the Mike Tyson one. He was awesome back in the day though! Whoa.

I'm not sure how you have decided that The Conquerer was a cash in movie, cashing in on what? Was there a sudden upsurge in interest about Genghis Khan at that point in time, same thing with The Aviator, was Howard Hughes suddenly more in the news than normal? Mike Tyson is just a train wreck and that was obviously a "I need to make some money" movie rather than cashing in on some sudden public interest in Iron Mike. Your whole post is posited on an erroneous assumption of just what cashing in means.

Many cast members developed cancer in later life (including John Wayne) at a much higher rate than average. All for a really terrible film.

None of these films are cash grab films. Furthermore, I'm Not There obviously wasn't made for people like you. You need to have an attention span of longer than 3 seconds to understand what's going on. Then again, I shouldn't except more than that from a guy who watches Tyson just for the knockouts.
