Re: The worst directors

198.211.71.211

There used to be a time...and it's hard to believe...when the general public didn't know squat about a film's director life, and couldn't care less if there WAS a film director. All that was of concern to the public was The Film Experience.

Today it's somehow very important, who is a good director or isn't, and all of the detailed, intimate and inconsequential information about their personal lives! And what they..."think" and "feel" about this or that. It's a load of crap.

As Oliver Stone has stated The Theater used to be what Film is today in our lives, and that's what killed The Theater.

Film Schools killed Film.

I love the Ed Wood's and Arch Hall, Jr.'s and the John Water's.

Their special brand of filmmaking is antithetical to, and mocks the very hypocrisy of the Personality Cult-ture, that trivializes the Film Viewing Experience...which is why we are even "talking about" this current crop of traffic cops, egomaniacs, and publicity hounds in the first place!
