A friend of mine gave this DVD to me at a film program I was presenting at the library. He said he didn't want it back. His loss. This is the greatest movie ever made . . . for $180. The special effects alone are worth more than the price of admission. My favorite line comes near the beginning from one of the victims: "At least I don't have to hear her sing." Some of the characters can be seen reading their lines, but that just makes it all the more hilarious. Turns out I recognize a few of the many names in the credits, including the dean of the department where I teach film appreciation. I still can't believe it only cost $180. There must have been more than that spent on ketchup, red Kool-Aid, strawberry sauce or whatever it was.
