Ever since the accident on the set.
For those of you who don't know, - Vic Morrow (the lead in Landis' lead in the racist-gets-his-due segment) was killed on-camera. While filming the Vietnam sequence a helicopter experienced "pilot error" and collapsed onto the set. The propellors effectively decapitated Morrow.
Since then, people can't really get into his material...it sucks, but there really is a lingering stygma on the man.:(

I'd always heard that. I knew he died while filming, but thought that the decapitation on camera was one of those urbin legand things.
Landis isn't to bad. Can't say I like his straight comedy films. Haven't seen his Masters Of Horror yet, but looking forward to it.

i demand and expect quality.
