I've seen Eraserhead twice and Tetsuo The Iron Man, but this one takes the cake. And don't get me wrong. I respect filmmakers that try to work outside the Hollywood system of tired out cliches and recycled concepts that are as intellectually stimulating as counting cracks on a ceiling. But this was too much. Don't think I even made it pass the halfway point, before I said to myself. "I'm done!" π
shareYeah, it is basically an hour long pseudo-art masturbation. But at the time the author was 25 years old, so he is forgiven.
shareI suppose you're right. Peter Jackson was about the same age when he made his debut with "Bad Taste" and he went on to direct LOTR π
share"Bad Taste" is fun. He did with it what he aimed for.
shareNot necessarily implying that BT was a bad film (had it's moments). I was just surprised to learn that the guy who directed Bad Taste, Meet The Feebles and Braindead. Was the same guy did LOTR.
But I will say this! Even in his early work, you could tell that Peter Jackson had a knack for directing large scale battle scenes.
