Story summary

At a SAG-AFTRA Foundation event on October 5 in New York City, actor John Goodman admitted regrets about two movies he starred in: "Blues Brothers 2000" and "The Monuments Men." Released in 1998, "Blues Brothers 2000" was a box office flop that grossed only $14 million in North America. Despite this failure, Goodman enjoyed working on it so much he didn't mind its commercial performance. Similarly, for "The Monuments Men," released in 2014 and directed by George Clooney, Goodman had one of the best times of his career but still considers it a film he "probably shouldn’t have done." He noted that making a movie should never be fun, based on his experiences with these films.

Why this leaning score

This article does not take a side on a contested political question, so it has no leaning score. That is an answer rather than a gap: a match report or a rescue can be warmly or critically written without being left or right, and scoring it anyway is how approval of a subject gets recorded as a political position.
