8/05: Congratulations, Brian De Palma.

He finally did it. Phantom of the Paradise is one of the worst, dumbest, and stupidest movies ever made. What the hell am I seeing? It feels like a terrifically bad remake of The Rocky Horror Picture Show. I hate all of the characters. I hate the story. I hate everything. I fucking hate, hate, hate everything.

No wonder why it was a massive box-office flop when the film came out in 1974 which only had a lasting power in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada, having stayed intact for months. Shame on these poor simpleminded idiots.

All in all, everybody had way too much cocaine when they worked on Phantom of the Paradise.
