Classix 7: Even Riffing Can't Help This One (Glen or Glenda)

What a treasure this one is!  I got to see this one as a midnight screening during SIFF and even the Mystery Science Theater peeps couldn't save this film from being sheer garbage.  Having never seen an Ed Wood movie before, I had no idea what to expect.  I've of course seen classic cult films such as The Room, Miami Connection, and The Rocky Horror Picture Show.  But, those at least had something to grasp at and enjoy.  Glen or Glenda is sheer madness though.  What the hell was the point of this film?

The Mystery Science Theater guys tried to help the film run a bit smoothly.  Riffing on films is also something I've never watched, let alone seen in a live performance.  To be honest, the first 20 minutes of the film went smoothly and made me chuckle, but eventually the riffing itself got old.  Once the clock struck 12:30AM I felt like what I was watching would be a good way to extract information from a combatant.  I mean really, this whole movie fiasco was sheer torture.  There are now two movie directors that I never want to watch, Jean-Luc Godard and the ever-so-torturous Ed Wood.

The Bottom Line:  Skip it if you have anything better to do with your life.

Score: 1/10
