Pan's Labyrinth - Page 4

mousepod · 01-04-2007, 07:18 PM

After watching his Spanish-language films (Chronos, Devil's Backbone, Pan's Labyrinth) - I spent a couple hours yesterday watching the director's cut of Hellboy. Now, I saw Hellboy in the theater and liked it, but the combination of the extra 12 minutes plus my recent schooling in the GDT language of film had me loving it. I'm just about ready to revisit the mediocre (my original feelings) Mimic and Blade II - damn.

No, though visually interesting both still sucked.

After EH1812 and Pru's comments above, I think tonight I will watch The Company of Wolves. Dark fantasy, fairy tales... and a nude scene from Danielle Dax.

I LOVE that film and thought of it when Heidi and I ware discussing the broad concept of Pan on IM.

And Danielle Dax is cool.

Have you read Angela Carter? I enjoy the movie, but the short stories it's based on? Nothing beats 'em. Great googly moogly, they are good. And get the pulse racing. Mmmmm.

I think we need to do some folktale readings sometime in the not to distant future. Perhaps combined with a camping trip? or just a quiet gathering of the folklore inclined. Lisa and I have a good collection to chose from.

Hahaha, would this be akin our "salon" idea from last year that was so charming, though not repeated?

Of course, the truth is we do it all the time, just without the cumbersome structure - I am after all an anarchist at heart (one who does have a counter-intuitive love of ritual). So it will happen, though perhaps not as envisioned...

I saw it tonight as well. I had to see it at The Block because it wasn't playing at DTD. There is a distinct difference in audiences in the two theaters. We chose to go early as the teen crowd at The Block realy gets rowdy in the evening, but still durring the 4:00 showing they were fairly vocal (but not in a distracting way). There were a few groans here and there, but at times at The Block they will shout at the screan and even say things durring the credits and I feel like I'm at the Rocky Horror Picture Show or something!

I liked the film, and though I didn't know it was in Spanish and I, like ISM disslike having to read durring a movie, still enjoyed it. I tended to get just what the director intended (evedently) so it worked for me. I was a bit uncomfortable with the violence at times as that's not my piece of cake ( Saw just about did me in

) but it was real. I mean it WAS a war....

The special effects were great, acting good, score fantastic. Dark and even a little depressing, a fantasy for adults. I heard it was compared to The wizard of Oz, though I don't get that connection....
