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.
What’s your favorite Stewart Raffill movie? Tell me it’s not Mac and Me.
You want me to go on the internet and tell lies?
