Welp. It's interesting to me that i felt more empathy for Liberace and his boy toy than i did for any of the soldiers in Dunkirk, but there you have it
Odd comp. I haven't seen the former but I can't imagine their goals are at all common.
was just reflecting on comments that were shared on RM re: Dunkirk. Yeah, obviously very different stories/visions, but at face value i'd expect to be more emotionally moved by the story about brave young men losing their lives in a foreign land than by the story about a flamboyant pianist and his kept man...
i was just trying to make a point about the directors.
Oh, I understand all of that. I just disagree with your a priori assumption and that's why I think it's an odd comp.
I've always heard how bad John Wayne's The Conqueror was....yeah it earned its reputation. Land Of The Lost was better....kinda slow but the location filming was beautiful. Gonna watch Circus World next. Those are the three Wayne movies I always meant to watch but never did.
I liked the backstory of Pinhead, the way the tie this sequel with part 2, the brief appearance of Kristy...but its a clear intent to transform Pinhead into Freddy. Most of the acting is horrible, a constant in this series but here its really,really bad, and the one liners are terrible..¨ready for your closeup? ¨ There are no demons..no? so what the fuck is that? ...And more stuff like that. I hated the new cenobites. They are awful really.
With all that, its still a strong entry for sure. Loved some of the framing, specially everything involved with Pinhead.
Valley Of The Kings one of main movie inspirations for Indiana Jones was a fun little movie. Nice surprise. Wish my copy was better though.
It’s pretty insane how close some of the scenes are. Lucas was such a thief (not in a bad way).
Lucas got a ton of stuff from Secret Of The Incas. Indy's look and the light reflecting to show the hidden location. I've been doing a movie tour of the films that inspired Indy.

Oh shit, yeah, that was the one I was thinking of; I've seen both but they get blended in my mind.
The best part of Secret of the Incas was getting to watch Yma Sumac perform. My god she was incredible.

That a human being can hit notes that high is pretty amazing.
WTF was that? It looked awesome, the framing is incredible, the photography too...hell, it was a pleasure to see both Farrell and Kidman together...but wtf was that?
