To the person who emailed me about his band, I accidentally deleted your email. Sorry. E-mail me again.
 This, I think, is RiffTrax’s final installment of its “three riffer” commentary tracks for movies that were previously released by Legend Films with solo commentaries by Mike. This one is “Swing Parade” featuring the Three Stooges. Yes, comedies are a little tougher to riff, but be assured that the presence of the Three Stooges in this movie should in no way indicate that there is actual comedy therein. Mike actually did riff this one, and he did a great job, I thought, so it will be interesting to see the difference between his solo take and the “three riffer” take. As with the others, if you previously bought the Legend DVD, all you need is to download the commentary and you’re all set. An open thread for reports from last night’s Cinematic Titanic show in Austin.
Kevin has a new blog.
And at last we come to the category of “worst director.”
Of course, Ed Wood is the most famous bad director, but I don’t really think he’s anywhere close to the worst. You could make an argument for Coleman Francis or Ray Dennis Steckler or Ted Mikels, and it would be hard for me to argue. But for me, when it comes to sheer incompetence and total failure of vision, one name stands out: Hal Warren. Nothing went right, and just about everything that went wrong — and that was pretty much everything — can be traced back to him. He’s my choice/ What’s yours? |
