MUST WATCH: James Cameron's Long-Lost Video Starring Ex Kathryn Bigelow as a Sexy Cowgirl
The minds at Movieline are reeling today after a tipster sent us a collaboration between Oscar-nominated exes James Cameron and Kathryn Bigelow that we never knew existed: a 1988 music video called "Reach" that Cameron directed for Bill Paxton's short-lived rock band Martini Ranch (!), in which he cast imminent wife and future Hurt Locker director Bigelow as a sexy, Wild West gunslinger. Look, we know that description alone is enough to whet your appetite, so do you need me to say that this INCREDIBLY, DELICIOUSLY 80's music video also features "credited whistler" Judge Reinhold, lady-bodybuilder beefcake, a capuchin monkey, anachronistic computers for some reason, and cameos from Lance Henriksen, Paul Reiser, Jenette Goldstein, and Adrian Pasdar? Just watch and be blown away:
Comments
This video cost over 200 million dollars and took 4 years to shoot. True story.
That video was sent from the past to kill careers.
Someone at HBO must have watched this in the '80s, because it seems like the birth mother of BIG LOVE, DEADWOOD and CARNIVALE.
And not in a good way.
Wyatt: It's weird, Chet. It's really weird, Chet.
Chet: It doesn't take a genius to figure that out, monkey dick.
Damn! Here I was showing growth by respecting Bigelow as a talented, powerful woman who was establishing new standards in a patriarchal industry. Now as I listen to the commentary on "The Hurt Locker" I'm going to be picturing her looking hot while wearing chaps.
I was picturing her wearing that BEFORE I saw this video.
'80s -- ugh -- overdose... Must... Dep... hair...
That video loaded as slow as molasses....
It's like a car wreck. You want to look away (oh the humanity!) but you just can't stop staring at it.
Does it make me any cooler that I saw this in the theater after a screening of Aliens 10 years ago? I thought not.
It's being streamed from the 1980s...
A young, wide-eyed Michael Bay saw this video and suddenly knew what he wanted to be in life...
Bud Cort is in this video too. I love it!
What a material of un-ambiguity and preserveness of precious experience on the topic of unpredicted
emotions.
