BAD TIMING

Nicolas Roeg’s Bad Timing not only stars Art Garfunkel, during those like, two years when he was considered to be fair leading man material (the seventies!), before people figured out he has all the onscreen charisma of an old carrot. This movie is notable only because THERE ARE UNSEXY SEX SCENES WITH ART GARFUNKEL A-TANGLE AND MIMING EROTIC THRILLS WITH HIS FACE AND BODY. A-Garf a-grinding in silken sheets in a hambone manner, but going for it like it’s a R Kelly video (not the music kind, the kind he got arrested for).
I am not a prude, by any means, but lord love a duck, there are just some things that should be kept private. And not filmed. And not released to the public on DVD, not even as an “art film”, even with a warning sticker. I made it 42 minutes in, and it’s a bigger head-scratcher than last week when we made it 11 minutes into the GI Joe movie. File under “Brain Stain”.
