Another documentary I'd like to see...

... if it were available.

Pulp Fiction Art : Cheap Thrills and Painted Nightmares

On a related topic: I recently watched a documentary on Frank Frazetta, the famous/notorious creator of many pulpish book and magazine covers. I suppose it should not surprise me that a documentary of the artist's life was somewhat less thrilling than the scenes depicted in his work. The film producers, unfortunately, had chosen to use, and over-use, the rather gimmicky device of using computer imaging to 'animate' some of his works. The first time it appeared, in the form of a three-dimensionalized version of one of his Conan paintings, it was mildly startling. The second and later times were simply annoying.

Ah well. The documentary neither adds to nor subtracts from Frazetta's paintings. Like 'em or not.
