Karloff Does Not Deserve to Smell My Shit!

Remembering a great scene from Ed Wood

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.

How do you feel about the Cuban revolutionary?
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel' still look strong independently
Better get out there and get one last theatrical experience
'Ballast,' 'Frozen River' and 'Rachel Getting Married' lead the way with six noms
Goes to show the influence the fanboys and girls have on the Internet
Preparing to sum it all up...
The director shuffle on meaningless movies
Wanted, Narnia, Step Brothers and Casablanca lead off the week
Turn your brain off and enjoy
It's a miracle I am still awake to talk about it

Yup, he actually likes it... a lot I would say
'Kung Fu Panda' leads the way with 17, nine for 'Bolt' and eight for 'WALL-E'
Feeling an urge to at least say something
Ahhhh, gotta like that word - 'cerebral'
I can't get on board with this thinking
'Benjamin Button' gets the international shaft
A director is possibly named...
Live from the set of Malta... well... not really live...
Jack's back and while the prequel ain't much there's still hope
Crazy makes for a fun film, but not necessarily a good one
Four Christmases pulls a slight upset...
Front loaded weekends are hard to follow-up
Will the guest stars outshine the lead?
It's a feast of post-holiday pictures
Van Damme can certainly play himself, but is that where it ends?
