    OMG I have had a pair of 3-D glasses from 1982 in my bedroom just waiting for a chance to use them and here it is. The effect is really impressive and in some places, it is quite stunning. Love the song guys. Great work for a great bad film.
    NOTE: All you need is a piece of red cellophane for the left eye and a blue piece for the right eye. You might tape them over your glasses if you wear them or cut a pair out of card stock. The ones I have are made of that. Good luck.

    I'd like to add another contender for worst film called "From Hell it Came." Highlights at a UA-cam channel near you.

    • @sumnerhayes3411
      @sumnerhayes3411 Рік тому

      The movie has a long tradition of getting music it doesn't deserve: it was scored by the great Elmer Bernstein (who did everything from The Great Escape and The Ten Commandments to Airplane! and Ghostbusters) at a time when he wasn't getting major film offers because of his left-wing politics and the Red Scare.
      As bad as the movie is, the score is pretty great. Josh and Carson are in good company.

    Home run! The movie may actually become a classic now that it has been scored correctly. I can see this becoming a concert opener. Curtains part, 45 second clip of the movie and soundtrack, and do one of the entrances that has you come through the screen and take the stage. Ladies and Gentlemen.... "fill in the blank"

    Art is the successful intersection of differently worn personal gestalts. WTF you should ask. Art is the collision of those things foremost for you; generally memories/feelings, and time, your age... Other stuff in your life goes into the shadows, depending on the situation. I know, too heady. Sorry. There are very few true linguistic English speaking artists today. Josh and "the guy who should not really try to grow a mustache," lol are in a league of bright craftpersons of our language, I would throw in Reina del Cid as among the best (see her poem series!!)
    The other piece is that great artists learn from greats before them. I am old, but I am not stupid. My stroke took out my hands, but my mind remains. I am so in awe of Josh Turner, Reina del Cid and their human ability to join with and conspire with other talents to bring great art to humanity. Thank you!!
