And if you haven't seen them, I highly recommend THE UNHOLY THREE, WHERE EAST IS EAST, and WEST OF ZANZIBAR for more perverse Browning/Chaney insanity.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-91275360540220199782014-08-17T14:31:10.441-04:002014-08-17T14:31:10.441-04:00Glad to see some love for The Unknown on your list...Glad to see some love for The Unknown on your list, Sean.

How far did you make it into DARK CRYSTAL? ...SFF,<br /><br />How far did you make it into DARK CRYSTAL? My gut says you should give it another chance, but maybe when you're in a more pensive mood. It's more deliberately paced than the average fantasy film, and the lack of human characters has been cited as an obstacle to getting into it; but for my money there's just so much ingenuity and creativity on display that I'm consistently transfixed. How do you feel about something like LABYRINTH? (Which I enjoy quite a bit, but it's markedly more commercial and lighthearted than DARK CRYSTAL.)<br /><br />As for Lynch, I think TWIN PEAKS is a great place to start– addictive and weird, but not SO weird or incomprehensible that it'll turn off the uninitiated. If you're diggin' TWIN PEAKS, then I'd say move on to either BLUE VELVET or MULHOLLAND DR.; they're both hilarious and frightening films that create exquisite moods and practically demand re-viewings (in a good way). If you're still on board, I'd move on to the next tier, stuff like WILD AT HEART, LOST HIGHWAY, TWIN PEAKS-FIRE WALK WITH ME, etc.Sean Gillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00537515557596273876noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5497928641398322495.post-75987849456067451202011-07-12T10:37:04.689-04:002011-07-12T10:37:04.689-04:00Hey Sean
It's hard not love or at least like ...Hey Sean<br /><br />It's hard not love or at least like Quentin's work.<br /><br />I have yet to see Inglorious Basterds but it's on my list.<br /><br />I've seen everything else and it's all fantastic.<br /><br />Now, interestingly, I hate CGI most of the time. I like it some applications, the new Battlestar Galactica series comes to mind. I really enjoyed what they did with it there.<br /><br />But my love for models and miniatures seems to know no end, which is why you'll be as stunned and surprised as me that I simply couldn't get into The Dark Crystal.<br /><br />A friend of mine LOVES the film. He lent it to me recently. I tried to get into it, but I found it to be a little bit of a bore. My good man Sean should I give it another chance? <br /><br />By the way, this from a guy who looooves Farscape! Go figure right.<br /><br />Now, lastly, I have a very limited knowledge of Lynch. I finally watched Dune- interesting - and J.D. and others have me convinced that I must purchase Twin Peaks soon, which I plan to do.<br /><br />Let me ask, if I had to give Lynch a go again, what do you recommend first, Twin Peaks? Blue Velvet? Mulholland Drive or your selection of Lost Highway? Please excuse my Lynch ignorance, but I am open to the education.<br /><br />Cheers for this fine countdown as it continues.<br /><br />Best,<br />sffSFFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04256589316922398158noreply@blogger.com
