“Envision an empty room…”

You know what? Those Matt Zoller Seitz links are going to fall off the sidebar soon, and it occurs to me that I’ve been abusing the ever lovely Nielsen Haydens’ bandwidth for too long now. So, having finally got round to hosting the jpeg of THE GREATEST BAD FILM REVIEW EVER myself, I thought I’d share it with you. As far as I’m aware, it’s not available as text anywhere on the web, so this scan (originally via a MeFi thread) is the only version you’re likely to see – unless you have old, mid-nineties editions of the New York Press lying around your house.

All that kerfuffle done and dusted, all that remains is to ask you to sit back, pour a drink, kick some puppies, and enjoy the Greatest Bad Film Review Ever:

  1. Now that’s what I call a motherfudging review.

    Came via ML – tea’s nice, ta.

  2. Compliments of the house, sir… ;-)

    Edited to add: Bloody hell. I was just about to say, having read your blog, that we come from roughly the same part of the world down in Cornwall, and isn’t that a bit of a coincidence. Then I read a bit more, and realised that we were both finalists in the same sitcom writing competition back in 1998. Wow, coo, and lawks-a-mercy.

    I seem to recall your script being very much better than mine…

  3. Good lord, what a tiny tiny world – especially circuitous coming here via a NY-based SF editor’s website.

    Thank you for compliments on script, which vanished three laptop hard drives ago. So I choose to remember it as being fab, an assertation which never has to be confronted by reality. Spaced went on to do what I was trying to do much better of course..
