madbakerEating Raoul, Paul Bartel's Citizen Kane (he wrote, directed, starred) is coming out on DVD Tuesday! With Voyager's Robert Beltran as the "teenager" Raoul...
Produced after Roger Corman gave him his break directing Deathrace 2000, which I also own and like. In the words of another Bartel film, Cannonball, "Sometimes you just have to put your brain in neutral."

Re: Kane ...
Date: 2004-04-12 10:54 am (UTC)Kane was Orson Welles' opus where he wrote, starred, and directed the film. So I was citing it as a reference.
Paul Bartel's Kane was Eating Raoul, much as Ed Wood's was Glen or Glenda.
(Don't let the Corman connection fool you with Deathrace 2000 - it's surprisingly enjoyable.)

Date: 2004-04-12 11:03 am (UTC)As to Corman, I just have a hard time anymore watching anything of his. I have a movie he did based on an Asimov short story Nightfall, and was apalled. It was so bad it was painful (and I have a decent tolerence level ... at least usually ...). After that, his name makes my spine shudder sometimes.
