Auteur Watch - Director X

...which brings me to the director of the new SuperFly, Director X, the director with the X-Ray eyes.  Sure, SuperFly is a huge bomb now, but people forget: the language of film is universal, and it's forever.  I'll be able to rent the new SuperFly from the library in six months, no question.  Hollywood types may seem dumb, but they know a good infrastructure investment when they see one.  If you want the kids to come in and play, they need a good playground.  Now, you and I may not have heard of this ... this Director X the Mortals and Immortals clearly know a lot about, but this is his debut on the national stage.  If you've seen commercials for the new SuperFly, you've seen that it's directed by "Director X."  What, Alan Smithee's chopped liver?  Yes he is.  This could change the DGA database and practices in general as we know it.  This could be a major paradigm shift.  And judging from the picture on Director X's all-important IMDb page, he can own the dance floor with the best of the Douchebags all day.  And like some of the contestants in that last season of "Project Greenlight," he can do push-ups all day and never tire.  The clearest urine of the best of them.  Don't ever forget that, kids.  Kids who dream of being Hollywood directors, you need two things.  One: know your craft.  Sorry, LEARN your craft.  And two: push-ups.  Always do your push-ups.  Well, that's what Director X did, and now here he is.  And yes, for those of you who are fans of Alex Haley's work, it's true... he's going to go to Mecca and change his name to Director Shabazz.  Good night everybody!  I'm here all week, try the veal...
