That’s a very interesting article. I worked on a movie with Lorraine Bracco right in the middle of all this, and several times noticed Olmos standing quietly off to the side; and between shots they would always go into tete-a-tete conversations. Now I know what they were talking about.

Ah, thanks. And now that you mention it, I knew that twist - that “Revelation,” ha ha - somewhere in my brain. Pretty sure I never saw the movie, so I must have read one of those reviews that give away endings in an effort to ward people off from the movie.

Yes, I was searching for exactly that fix and as a result saw most of these clams as well. Not Dracula 2000 however, and now you’ve got me wondering about this twist I shouldn’t consider. Does Dracula turn out to be the devil or something? Would that even count as a twist?

Well the movie is based on a book called “Shrine” - a perfectly good title they could have used!

Sometimes the critic’s shorthand of referring to another movie is the absolutely perfect indicator of what it is, and in this case your invocation of Stigmata did the trick. I can very safely ignore this movie and simply rewatch 1988's The Unholy, starring Hal Holbrook, Ned Beatty, and Ben Cross with a crotchful of…

An interesting thing that I just realized is that both the Mario Bava Black Sunday and the John Frankenheimer Black Sunday feature people with their faces riddled full of holes.

“It reeks!”

Ha ha!

History has lessons for us in matters such as this. For example, “Stop The Planet Of The Apes, I Want To Get Off” was a legitimate theatrical hit despite the unsavoury rumours surrounding its human star.

But Isaac Hayes wore a coat made of hanging lamp chains!

That was my feeling too. He’s just kind of irked, whereas I’d have been busting out my Yogi and Boo Boo voices. “I don’t think the ranger’s gonna like this, Yo-gi.”

PYLSUR

I’ve also done my best to instill a love, or at least an appreciation, or at least a lack of disdain, for black and white movies in my own son. (Of course I showed him the 1933 King Kong at a young age.) The process was helped by my recounting of something I overheard at a screening of Natural Born Killers, which…

Funny thing is, just the other night I watched The Kid With the 200 I.Q.

Double Dab, ‘cause he plays two characters.

I just watched the Henry Thomas move Cloak & Dagger last night, and now this.

The futuristic catalogue from which Phoenix chose his pants was also released.

For the full story on Berenger, it’s important that everybody see Last Rites. Priestgasm!

I saw Dune in the theater and got one of those glossaries. Man, I wish I’d kept it! I was in the middle of reading the book at the time and fancied I knew just exactly what was going on, so I tossed it.
