I didn't think his first few films were that bad. I saw some later ones though that were pretty rough.

I've not seen his German films or his early junk DTV films, but House of the Dead is embarrassing, and Alone in the Dark is actually one of the worst films I've ever seen in my life. And I've seen stuff like Monster a Go Go (which, I'll admit, is worse, but they're in the same ballpark).

HOWEVER.... I think Rampage actually isn't half-bad, unpleasant as it is. The visual style can be very off putting, and it's very unpleasant, but it's decently made if you can stomach it.

The two films he made here - 1968 TUNNEL RATS and DARFUR - are incredible films, especially DARFUR which is emotional and sometimes very violent and disturbing.

Tonight's Stinker
The Fat Spy(1966)
https://youtu.be/dZnItPLhU2M?si=1f36rzaCqN0rMJAg

It opens with two guys on a dock singing for three excruciating minutes about how money's bad for you, then a minute for opening credits, then another overlong musical number as a group of teens arrive at some resort in Florida, pile into a boat & head for a tiny island....
So anyway, the CEO of a cosmetics company finds out the kids are there, and sends his daughter (Jayne Mansfield) to help a middle age botanist take care of the problem.... Meanwhile, the botanist's evil twin brother calls the owner of a rival company (Phyllis Diller) & reports what's up.....

The comedy bits are brief & far apart, as the runtime is padded with more musical numbers than I could keep track of...... Most of the thread bare story is predictable & clichéd, characters do things that make little sense, but it's mostly safe & family friendly....

Ready or Not 2 - Pretty good follow up, buoyed by solid dual lead performances. I think I like this one a tad more than the first, especially in terms of pacing it is rock solid, and the secondary characters are a bit more fun. It's still thin, but enjoyable with plenty of the red stuff.

Supergirl (2026)
Not bad. Nowhere near as bad as some are making it out to be.

Had a nice long week off. Family vacation with the parents and siblings in Pittsurgh PA. Got to take a river cruse so a lot of nice picture of the Pittsburgh skyline. We also saw Falling Waters, the Frank Lloyd Write building. That was really interesting. Beautiful building. Also visited the Heinz museum.

So all in all a nice little visit.
