Hey man nice shot movie6/19/2023 ![]() But is “Nice Shot” foreshadowing for Chip’s attempt on his own life? Of his public martyrdom? Does Kurt Cobain have anything to do with this? It’s already a bit dark before you realize what Filter is singing about. “Nice Shot” is par for the ’90s with its LOUD-quiet-LOUD, sky-splitting guitar flourishes. If Steven didn’t suspect something was weird with this guy already, he watches as Chip unnecessarily muscles his way through YMCA-level pickup ball. In the scene with the Filter song, Chip crashes a basketball game Steven and his friends are playing. When he fails and is cornered, he attempts suicide at a giant satellite dish. Once Chip has installed cable in Steven’s apartment, he quickly invades every aspect of his life in an attempt to gain a friend. (“…the facts of life from The Facts of Life,” etc.). The box-office disappointment and cult classic tells the story of Steven (Matthew Broderick) who is stalked and manipulated by Chip the cable guy: an obsessive who was raised exclusively by television. ![]() (Chill, this isn’t a thing about Jim Carrey performing career suicide by starring in this movie.) The song took a real, political discussion and broadcasted it on TV, radio, and in film.Īnd though it also appears in Tales From the Crypt Presents: Demon Knight and a commercial for the National Hockey League, I’m curious why a song about public suicide is featured in The Cable Guy. Dwyer insisted he was innocent and hoped to express how a questionable legal system could victimize someone like him. Dwyer did so by calling a televised press conference where he did the unthinkable, guaranteeing his act would be studied in colleges and universities. Budd Dwyer, a Pennsylvania politician who was convicted of taking a bribe and who, before his sentencing, shot and killed himself on live TV in 1987. It’s a myth that Filter’s 1995 hit “Hey Man, Nice Shot” is about Kurt Cobain.
