Last night I was watching The Mummy (1932) (Special Edition) from Universal Home Entertainment. It was the first time I had ever seen the film starring Boris Karloff as the reanimated 3,700 year-old, Egyptian high priest Imhotep. I will be reviewing the DVD shortly, but I couldn't help thinking back to Tim Burton's Ed Wood and Martin Landau's classic Oscar-winning performance as Bela Lugosi.

The clip below is one of my favorite scenes in film, every time I watch or even hear Landau shout, "Karloff? Sidekick? Fuck you! Karloff does not deserve to smell my shit! That limey cocksucker can rot in hell for all I care!"

It is stuff classic films are made of. If you haven't seen the film you are really missing out, but at least go back 14 years with me and enjoy this fantastic clip.
