...Larry Buchanan. I'm completely in awe of this guy's work. He's probably best known for "Mars Needs Women" although I like his completely awful "Zontar, Thing from Venus" better. I've seen a half dozen of the at least 15 movies that this auteur made and in all that footage there isn't one single frame that's competently composed, not one second of even passable acting or writing. If you tried to make an intentionally bad movie you couldn't succeed as well as Buchanan did in every effort. A monkey given an Ariflex would eventually accidentally shoot a decent scene but even such random competence is completely absent from the Buchanan filmography. The guy's gotta be some kind of genius.
