I see nothing to LOL about.

"Deep Red" didn't hold my attention either. Argento's giallos don't interest me very much in general. I could watch "Suspiria" or "Inferno" a hundred more times, but the murder mysteries are boring.  I do love Bava's "Twitch of the Death Nerve", though. And "Torso".

His last request: "I wanna be cremated".

My recs:

I keep scouring ebay to find a complete Hugo, in the box, for a reasonable price. I love that beatific smile of his. I wish to disfigure him with prosthetics.

Lewton and Tourneur's "Cat People" was all about sex, but it was also a studio film made in the 40's, so it had to be symbolic. You were also left to wonder if there was any supernatural element (people turning into cats) at all. Schrader's remake made all of that stuff literal, and to its detriment. I don't like to…

I believe it. The "Cat People" remake isn't my idea of a smart or innovative screenplay. The can't all be winners. Lynn Lowry was in it, though, so that's okay.

Alan Ormsby, man. Besides the screenplays for "Deathdream" and "Children Shouldn't Play with Dead Things", Alan Ormsby also wrote Deranged", "My Bodyguard" and "Popcorn" (a film with a lot of potential, ruined by poor direction). Plus he invented and sculpted "Hugo, Man of a Thousand Faces"

"Black Christmas" could be the most influential horror film of the 70's, being that "Halloween" used it as a template. It's also brilliantly made. I've never read a poor review of it, including above. "A bracing amalgam of low-budget clumsiness and conceptual intelligence" is hardly a criticism.

Life of Pi and Coraline are the only two films that come to mind for me.

Their first album, "Mix Up", is extremely raw and aggressive. If you're not into first wave Industrial music, you might not be into it. If you are, then I would instead recommend the "Living Legends" compilation.

"Quark, Strangeness and Charm" and "Church of Hawkwind" are both pretty great, but if you didn't grow up reading comic books, watching Doctor Who and listening to Gary Numan, then it might just seem too silly and geeky.

I see the appeal of the Schmoelling lineup… "Exit" and "Hyperborea" especially are good in their own way. But they're nothing like the potent, hallucinatory, evocative work they did in the early 70's. Hard to pick a favorite, but I love "Zeit", "Atem" and "Phaedra" equally.

Only if he battles a 50-ft. tall animatronic dragon.

When they said "70's offbeat science fiction", I wasn't thinking Shivers so much as Starcrash or The Humanoid.

YES.  Star Wars was designed to blow people away with state-of-the-art effects, but THX has a minimalist aesthetic; like when he's is in the prison, but it's just a pure white soundstage with nothing more than Walter Murch's brilliant sound design setting the scene.

Thomas Kincaide  painted backgrounds for "Fire and Ice", so in some instances, Bakshi is more like a Bizarro-Corman.

I've seen all of his films except the above ("Hey Good Lookin"), "Cool World" and about half of "Coonskin". I think "Wizards" is his most tolerable. but like the other commenter said, that isn't saying much. And ditto that his last two seasons of "Spider Man" are some excellent and bizarre outsider art.

His films always seemed to suffer from a lack of pacing. I think the reason "Fritz the Cat" is his most lively movie is because he used Crumb's comic as a storyboard. Copied it, pretty much.

I hated that Marquis movie, but the fake news show has me intrigued.
