FLIM!!!

It's about time that the films of Dusan Makavejev and Alejandro Jodorowsky were re-mastered and put on DVD. Those guys are incredible and to think that their movies were only available on bootleg is a crime. But now they're out. And I'm happy. But what about films such as "The Devil's Fetus" or "Seeding of a Ghost"? Because they're horror/splatter films from Hong Kong does that mean they're insignificant? Why aren't films of that sort mentioned in the same breath as Godard? Why is he hip? I love his films too but come on. "Alphaville" really is Ed Wood quality. Am i the only one who notices, or is everyone so mesmerized by French and philosophy that they think it's so much better? Don't get me wrong, I'm only picking on Godard because he's so hip...Alphaville is one of my favorite movies. But so is "Plan 9 From Outer Space". You know why Ed Wood is great? Because despite a lack of budget, actors, time, and POSSIBLY talent he still managed to make his films. And you know what? They're fun!
Anyway, don't know why I went on a tirade. I'm so glad that Jodorowsky and Makaejev have their movies out. Just thought I'd write about it.
