Star Upset over Hollywood Flop

Jim Smith tested the waters of Hollywood this offseason, with a supporting role in the big budget action film Screamin' Eagles. He was all smiles at last month's premier, posing on the red carpet for tabloid photographers.
Unfortunately for Smith, Screamin' Eagles did not enjoy the kindest of reviews. Critics have universally panned the movie, calling it "The Modern Day Ishtar." Smith as well was not well received, with one critic calling his performance as Sergeant Dick Grimes "pathetically laughable," and saying, "...he should stick to baseball."
Smith has yet to comment on whether or not he'll reprise his role as Grimes in the sequel, Screamin' Eagles II: Screams of Justice, announced earlier this week.

Requirements:
Age => 25
Greed: Very High
National Popularity: Popular or above.

Effects:
Severe decrease in morale
Decrease in national popularity

This one is a good candidate for the use of multiple movie titles, which is something the Storyline engine supports (and if it''s broken, needs to be addressed in beta). What other kinds of movie titles would you suggest?

This is written such that the sequel blurb could easily be a later follow up article.

You can do the same with the Ishtar reference - sub in Howard the Duck, The Adventures of Pluto Nash, Heaven's Gate, etc.

edit - somehow this post has ended up under my name after some mod edits, and I hope it's clear that I only made the last comment about replacing the Ishtar reference. Kaaosaste wrote the story.
