Humpty Dumpty's American History X

Edward Norton knows how good looking he is and so decided to overpower director Tony Kaye's American History X film, making his own edited cut. This infuriated Kaye, who then demanded that his name be removed from the credits and replaced with Alan Smithee. However, the DGA and the studio refused his request, and also his subsequent request of using the name Humpty Dumpty. Why the refusal? Kaye had publicly attacked the film in national publications, which is against the Alan Smithee policy of the DGA. Imagine Humpty Dumpty's Great Fall remaining unattributed!

I guess you couldn't have predicted it, but I think you'd eventually regret disowning IMDb's 39th top film of all time.

In mild defense of David Lynch...
* David Lynch is capable of making non-surreal movies and making them very well.... the Elephant Man, The Straight Story... I'm sure Empire Strikes Back would have been great if he did it.
* Lynch got the DGA to allow him to remove his name from the credits from at least one version of Dune. Parts of the movie weren't so great (Sting) but parts were awesome weren't they? Like the Guild Navigators?
* Dune was on the table to be made before Star Wars. I think it was on a commentary I heard people involved say that Tatooine (Skywalker's desert planet) was basically stolen from Dune because the pre-production illustrations of Dune were seen by the folks who did Star Wars... same company I guess. They showed the illustrations and it was kind of surprising.
* This video would have better if they dubbed over Darth Vader the voice of Dennis Hopper saying "mommy mommy, baby wants to fuck" as he huffs on the nitrous tank from Blue Velvet.
