As reported by the New York Times, on March 8, 2023, prolific B-movie filmmaker Bert I. Gordon passed away at his home in Los Angeles. He was 100 years old.
Bert I. Gordon is a name many may not be familiar with unless they were prone to visiting drive-in theaters in the 1950s, staying up late and watching monster movies on Uhf TV in the 1980s, or were paying attention to "Mystery Science Theater 3000" in the 1990s. Gordon was the director behind such low-budget classics as 1955's "King Dinosaur," 1957's "The Amazing Colossal Man," its sequel from the next year, "War of the Colossal Beast," the 1965 outsized J.D. flick, "Village of the Giants," the 1976 H.G. Wells adaptation, "Food of the Gods," and the 1976 giant ant film "Empire of the Ants." One might note that all the films listed above involve giants of some stripe. One might also want to take note of Bert I.

It’s Such a Fine Line Between Stupid and Clever
Friday night, I fulfilled one of my cinematic dreams: to see The Room live with its director, writer, producer and star, Tommy Wiseau. That this wish ranks somewhere with seeing a true 70mm print of Tati’s Playtime in a theater and meeting my favorite director, Martin Scorsese, strikes even me as odd. By my count, this was my eighth or ninth time seeing the film, and the second in a theater. Each time, I watched it with a different group of friends or a few converts as we spread the Gospel of Wiseau around the Southeastern United States setting up churches devoted to the vaguely Teutonic Jack-of-all-trades (or fight clubs; people react to The Room in different ways).
