In Reply to: "...plenty of stinkers..." Yeah, and I think that they're all directed by Robert Altman. posted by Audiophilander on December 07, 2001 at 08:46:20:
As the most of Altman movies.
Well, I can see why some may not like it, but "lousiest film of all time"?
Go and try to sit trough Bicentennial Man. Starring Robin Williams, of cause.
Follow Ups:
Hard to believe, but there are Ed Wood diehards out there who actually
like this incoherent, boring, stupid atrocity. Some of them say it was
his best film, as if that would somehow elevate it out of the
garbage dump. As one reviewer at www.imdb.com aptly said,
"As always with Wood, the story is the first casualty".
"Glen or Glenda" is all the more a painful viewing experience because
it offers so little comic relief to counter the tediousness. I still
think the "femtosecond" is smallest unit of time, that is, the time
it takes a lightbeam to traverse the diameter of an electron. I
wouldn't recommend anyone spending even that much time submitting
themselves to such a travesty. If you think I exaggerate, watch it
and find out for yourself, but don't come back crying because
I warned you! - AH
... I do like some Altman movies. However, to my knowledge there are few directors who are more hit and miss. Judging solely from Popeye (i.e., also with "Bicentennial Man's" Robin Williams) and Pret-a-Porter (aka Ready to Wear) one might be inclined to wonder what "genius" had the inspiration to green-light Altman directing either project; in the case of the latter, how such a piece of (subjective) dog crap even got green-lighted in the first place! OTOH, after viewing brilliant films like M.A.S.H. or The Player one might have difficulty believing that the same man actually helmed clinkers like Popeye and Ready to Wear. In the final analysis I guess "quirky" probably describes Altman's style best, and it wouldn't surprise me at all if the famed director completely agreed with that assessment!AuPh
