I liked your point about t...Awesome review, Andre.<br /><br />I liked your point about the visual realisation of Hobbs End and how later horror films have proved less successful in conjuring something similar. That's an interesting thought. Given our (and the filmmakers') enthusiasm for apocalyptic wastelands in zombie films and the like, you'd expect horror cinema to almost nail that kind of thing repeatedly. It just emphasises what a cool job Carpenter did here, particularly with the dreamy images you described: the cyclist, Cane's church, that little bridge they have to cross in their car ... the whole elliptical narrative thing.<br /><br />My two cents: I think Carpenter's score is (again) splendid (remember the Enter Sandman-like opening credits? Very cool), and so too the soundtrack: (contortionist) Styles' giggle if I recall was as alarming as that iconic image! Cool post. :-)Ianhttp://blazejowski.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-64827015891740528132010-01-11T10:49:50.067-05:002010-01-11T10:49:50.067-05:00I definitely need to give this film a second chanc...I definitely need to give this film a second chance. I liked it a lot the first watch, but felt rather disappointed in how madcap the ending felt when it had started with such an intriguing--and currently relevant--premise of fans absorbing an artist's work. I love me some apocalypse, but the insanity of the ending--especially when you toss in some not stellar monsters--never really meshed (for me) with some of the more haunting images in that middle section. <br /><br />Still, Marble Rye biotch kicks serious old guy ass.

Do NOT I repeat do NOT try to watch Miss Congeniality on E! because they cut out everything and I was very upset. <br /><br />Hehe but yikes I can't even fathom seeing this with some of the scenes cut--some movies just aren't meant to be played on cable.

Once I got it on DVD and saw it without entire segments cut out it made much more sense and quickly went to the top of my list of all time favorite movies.<br /><br />Great review!William Malmborghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04261043345510784469noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-66464569546430582572010-01-09T19:26:04.079-05:002010-01-09T19:26:04.079-05:00she's also the Grandma in Happy Gilmore... i l...she's also the Grandma in Happy Gilmore... i love that you dropped a Ghostbusters 2 reference.Bobby Blesshttp://www.moviecynics.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-706937351903658758.post-72289102894390805002010-01-09T18:37:57.315-05:002010-01-09T18:37:57.315-05:00Thanks Dod, and yes you did mention your favorite ...Thanks Dod, and yes you did mention your favorite color was blue probably 3 times now...hahah<br /><br />What an all star cast huh?
