You want me to go on the internet and tell lies?

Stewart Raffill

I had no idea about his portfolio, I appreciate mac and me for it's altruism, but it was just a little too E.T. for me when I wasn young and I think I get a little anti-nostalgia (is that a thing?) for it.

Is Tammy and the T-Rex #3? I could see that being a solid round out of the trilogy.

Indeed. Ice Pirates, Mac n Me, and Tammy. They all encapsulate slightly different aspects of filmmaking that make me appreciate them. And I’m not really into ironically liking bad movies, but I adore these. Mac n Me is legit hilarious to me when viewed with a cynical eye of Raffill making a mockery that McDonald’s gave him money to ripoff ET. Ice Pirates shows how you make an old sci-fi “epic” on a shoe string budget (Roger corman style). Tammy shows how you manifest a movie solely around the fact you got access to some interesting thing (the t-Rex). It’s pure, distilled filmmaking, imo. And I’ll take it any day over the majority of slop we get now.
