• "Plan 9 From Outer Space" is a lot more entertaining than "Pearl Harbor" - Rob Doorack 07:20:40 03/13/02 (1)

  There's so much inadvertently hilarious stuff in most Ed Wood movies that they reward multiple viewings. On the other hand watching "Pearl Harbor" twice would probably cause permanent brain damage. The half - hour of the actual attack was OK but the rest was awful.

  The difference between Wood and Bay is that Wood passionately believed in what he was doing and sincerely loved movies. He was doing the best he could with his limited budgets and miniscule talents. Bay is just a cynical hack.

    What PEARL HARBOR needed was a scriptwriter who wasn't so educated on movie cliche. I don't think there was a single cliche that movie didn't contain. I half expected Rochester to drive by in Mr. Benny's ancient, wheezing Maxwell automobile towing the Keystone Cops as directed by Roger Korman. (Actually, that would have been better than the non-attack parts of the actual movie.)

    Wanna see a good movie about Pearl Harbor? FROM HERE TO ETERNITY or TORA-TORA-TORA should fill the bill. Even the old tv miniseries PEARL, with William Devane was better.

    And my wife thinks PEARL HARBOR is one of the best films of 2000! It's pointless to argue.

  I don't watch a lot of recent films but have been unlucky enough to see some of this fellow's efforts. Armageddon was one of the three worst films I have ever seen, and I don't even want to think about watching Pearl Harbor based on the ads I saw on TV (and the reviews).

  But Bay's co-collaborater in crapola, producer Jerry Bruckheimer, deserves just as much criticism for his role in the creation of these mountainous piles of garbage. Actually, he deserves more, because he is the one responsible for hiring human chimp Bay in the first place.

    Seanbaby did a couple of pieces ripping into Jerry Bruckheimer films over the last couple of years. This stuff is extremely funny: http://www.seanbaby.com/cleveland/part1.html

    and if you feel up for tolerating some true Bruckheimer-inspired insanity, check out this: http://www.seanbaby.com/stupid/comic10.htm
