it was only a matter of time.

Did you not see the greenscreening in that montage? Where, rather than finding an actual San Francisco rooftop, they built a fake rooftop in an LA parking lot, and surrounded it in greenscreen to add in the SF skyline?

And if you don’t find Wiseau hilarious, I don’t know what to say. Still, you haven’t actually seen the whole movie.

The best — and only great dogme movie — is Festen/The Celebration. Von Trier is nowhere close to “so bad it’s good”; he has talent, and is often determined to make people hate him. “So good it’s bad” would be more apt for him.

I can’t help but say that the slightly nerdy idea of being in a cult of people who love bad movies made by bad actors/directors was started long ago with Ed Wood – but that none of the modern equivalents have the right mix of unintentional hilarity plus genuinely awful special effects – and without something like that they all pale. There might be one or two that get better with age, like “Glen Or Glenda” has, but I doubt it…

Lars von Trier’s dogme stuff is in some ways “better” but I often think he was really after an excuse for not getting a real budget and claiming art status the way some abstract painters at my college used to – really naff IMO …and I don’t want to watch the dogme films either.

Missing the point, I think…

That’s like saying “The Rocky Horror Picture Show looks campy, over-the-top, and unrealistic.”

Good wishes
