In a few seconds, he has managed to destroy his parent’s and teacher’s years of teaching and training, as much for his creativity as for his capacity for rational thought.

Meanwhile, some writer deserves some coal in his Christmas stocking, while some director deserves the same but LIT!

This clip has potential! One could add this to the back side of any situation and make it oddly dramatic.

It reminds me of the way John edited the classic Job, Jobs, Jobs clip. (Yayyy!)

A: Houston, we have had a problem!?!
B: Oh God! Oh Man! Oh God! Oh Man! …

Worst acting ever? I guess you’ve never seen the MST3K version of Mitchell.

Yeap, couldn’t act his way off stage.

Then there was Lee Majors.

Anybody wonder how Farah chose her men?

I was thinking the same. Could be the next Dramatic Prairie Dog.

He was acting?

Q: Is there a reason to go to the beach, stand on a rock and read your mail?

A: It makes a cheap set.

“Tough Guys Don’t Dance”, the worst movie that I love.

That’s actually very realistic, more realistic then acting use to be. Numb face, jerky repeating movement (including rapid blinking and eye movements), monotonic voice repeating the same thing over and over. A man in chock, if you met him in real life you would understand that immediately (or perhaps not(*)).

It doesn’t fit in with what people expect of acting, it isn’t entertaining or captivating. But is it bad acting? Isn’t acting supposed to have some degree of realism, this is very realistic, most acting is not realistic at all, it just adhere to ritualized behaviour we learnt to understand from watching a lot of unrealistic acting.

(*) I once met a man who had catapulted above the handlebar of his bicycle, when the front wheel hit a stone, and hit the ground with his face first. He got all his front teeth’s broken of (yes, broken), they laid upon the ground like pearl bracelet, you could see the impression of his face in the gravel, then he wandered through the dark woods for a couple of miles before he met me. I thought he was stoned and continued in my direction (I was late for work), until I found his bike and teeth and realised what had happened. When I went back to find him, he had disappeared. This give me a really creepy flashback.
