Was there something ominous at the ending with the General coming out of the shadows like that? Did I misinterpret that or was it an Indian General?

Was Rick Veitch's MAXIMORTAL mentioned yet? My favorite alt-superhero. Didn't think Veitch did too much superhero stuff either.

I really like Rodriguez, but I honestly was embarrassed for DeNiro in this movie.

Ben Gazarra's last words (as Saint Jack):

We can't forget the theme song from "The Christmas That Almost Wasn't".

Hey! I'm not that old!

I remember seeing this at the Majestic theater in Madison (when it was still a theater and showed indie films.) when this first came out.  Along with SLACKER the same year, this was one of my favorites of that time.  Haynes' SAFE achieved a more personal connection, but I couldn't get some images of this movie out of…

I can say that Eraserhead is the only one of all the R-rated or strange art house movies that my dad took me to that I was too young to watch.  I was only around 7 or so and I had nightmares of the Man in the Planet for a long time.
