Re: The Master, is their relationshiop a father/son relationship? I did not think the characters were related.

okay, okay.... maybe on a sunday morning or something, after a double coffee... good point about halloween. will make effort.

I will definitely go back to it. I've loved several Bergman flicks.

What happeend is that nothing in the first 30 minutes made me care a goddamn about either of the characters. when that happens I tune out.

I feel it absolutely is... not a literal father-son but figural one.

Bergman's pace may be slow sometimes, but it is deliberate, like a metronome set to 80 or so.

Trust him. He's a master. He will reward your patience.

And that opening with Liv . . . How can you look at that face and not care what happens? (Or has happened, rather.)

HOUR is a great film, and funnily enough, not nearly his best.

I don't have particularly high expectations but I'm intrigued enough to want to see it, if only because I think the poster's pretty cool.

--Because I was raised in a religion that doesn't really have a devil, ROSEMARY'S BABY never scared me. I love quite a lot of Polanski's stuff, but this one always left me cold (though I really like all the actors). It's so implausible from my perspective. I've had to comfort Catholic girlfriends who went nuts at the end, however.

The devil--who wouldn't exist without religion--simply doesn't scare me. He ain't real.

Which is why the scariest movie for me is probably HENRY: PORTRAIT. There are Henry's out there. First time I saw it, I was scared to leave the house after dark.

I have always had what seems like a mild case of asperger's or something, and cannot read emotions or thoughts in faces very well at all. I misconstrue facial expressions unless they are very very broad.

soooo, I felt nothing. could have given a fuck really. just how it is.

will watch it again this weekend though, for I love other Bergman lots.

[Rob Instigator]

Henry is too plausible for me to enjoy as entertainment.

I like old crazy spoooky flicks, Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, original Nosferatu as well as Herzong's Nosferatu.

[evollove]

Oh, don't get me wrong. Henry is not fun at all. I don't anticipate watching it ever again. I'm just saying as far as horror films go, I find it extremly effective.

Benny's Video. The slaughtering of a pig in the first scene is pretty hard watching...

[Rob Instigator]

The rosemary's baby is a great film!
the scary part is that it is all true, everything in it happenes every day. satan may not be real, but satanists are, and not the anton la vey dyonisian satan wanna-be's. I am talking real, sick, twisted Satan worshippers of all stripes who believe this shit is real. they kill, rape, and torture for their fucking bullshit beliefs.

Fo shizeee

i like most fulci. i found lizard in a woman's skin too stupid by fulci standards even, although the soundtrack is worth seeing the movie for. am especially a fan of the city of the living dead. always was a fan of house by the cemetery as a teenager but am worried to watch it again in fear i won't like it anymore, the beyond i don't particularly like. gonna watch don't torture a duckling again sometime, liked it but it's been a long time. his barbarian movie 'conquest' is the dullest thing ever

i haven't seen rosemary's baby but i have the soundtrack LP and it is quite cool indeed, i like it but could potentially get more into it after seeing the picture

I'll drop this on this thread as it may be of interest to you movie buffs. It's the full transcript of Armando Iannucci's Bafta lecture this year.

I absolutely (to the point of passionately) agree with AI's position but he's pissing in the wind.

I agree with a lot of the rest of your post but I'm possibly the only person alive who really really likes Conquest. It has it's boring bits (like every Fulci movie) but, I dunno, I just love it.

[Severian]

Are we talking scary/disturbing films here?

Then I will just say this: Anti-Christ, with Willam Dafoe.

I mean, if you're into having your psyche raped and violated completely.
For me, never... NEVER again. Once was so much more than enough.

[evollove]

I think we've moved from scary to another level.

So I'll mention that I've been tempted to watch PHILOSOPHY OF A KNIFE, but I am old enough to understand that one cannot unsee something once it has been seen. I think the descriptions I've read are enough.
