and so does christ-figuring our hero
bonus episode looking back at andy as a cinematic christ-figure (using the kozlovic-black scale) after he has been wounded yet again in #mandy minute 79
and so does christ-figuring our villain
but what's good for andy is good for fishmouth. so, let's see how fishmouth measures up on the kozlovic-black scale for cinematic christ-figures before we get to #mand...
and so does christ-figuring the, you know, sacrificial victim of the film
but airquotes ought to be in the running for biggest #christfigure of the film. will she win? will she lose? does it matter? we're just going to get back to the film p...
and so does slowing down when you need to ramp things up
nevermind the bad luck of crashing your truck on your first attempt at vengeance-fueled murder, nevermind the good luck that these drugged-up (nee supernatural) bikers...
and so does effortless escape
blurry shots and otherface walking back and forth--yeah, take your time with that. but, andy getting his hand un-nailed from the floor--you gotta rush the crap out of ...
and so does not knowing where we are or what's going on
we need context. you can't just have andy casually find two dead bodies, when there are no other characters in the film at all. maybe if you had introduced us to the n...
and so do disappearing penisblades
not your normal, everyday problem, to be sure. but consider it like this: villain in S&M getup has a knife. how do we know this? we see it in his hand, we see him bran...
and so does bringing the presumed dead up from the random pit just to hear andy say something stupid
nevermind the poorly shot fight on the floor and on the pieces of the broken coffee table, let's throw the character we just saw die--right? i mean, who can tell these...
and so does this casual drug use
i don't need to complain about how vegas can break a man's neck like an 80s action hero. later he's gonna crush a guy's head with his bare hands so he's obviously supe...
and so do andy's stupid fucking choices
and so do panos' and... whatever the fuck the other writer is called--their choices in writing this, directing this. and my choices in talking about it. and yours for ...
and so does this seizure-inducing stupidity
for the record, i've never tried LSD. but i imagine that trying it would not be this fucking stupid. and welcome to the episode where i assume panos cosmatos is a di...
and so does everything in this script, really
and in the world, sometimes. imagine this: this movie i don't even like gets me ranting about movies to the point of anger, sadness, palpable emotion because i take it...
and so does this badly lit minute of fighting in which we can't tell what's happening and it goes on forever
it's interesting to edit these episodes a good while after recording them. in this one, it's like i'm ready to give up, never speak of this movie again because it just...
and so do the latter hellraiser movies, and this movie every time it apes them
we're not quite to what is probably the stupidest thing in this movie--and given the amount of stupid in this movie, that's saying something--so let us relish this poo...
and so does the queen of dumb (aka this cigarette lighting scene)
but when every choice you make in production is the wrong one, inevitably, you will find a perfectly horrible thing to put on screen, and people in the audience will t...
and so does this new guy and his golden gun and his tiger
this scene is just another waste of time in a film full of wastes of time. the chemist serves no plot purpose, andy doesn't kill him, the stupid tiger as metaphor for ...
and so do the 'reaction shots' from andy
i've seen more expression in your classic cut-to-the-dog moments in so many movies. nic cage CAN act, he just mostly isn't bothering here, and it's a problem. he's pro...
and so does andy's psychic vision of this radio tower
a quick bonus because we mustn't neglect any of this film's stupid.
and so does this waste of a tiger
it's like that bear in midsommar. it's there and i want it to matter, i want it to do something, i want the plot to go someplace, for any of anything to make any damn ...
and so does taking the time to see this guy's hallucinations when there's a tiger on the loose now
but hey, bugs of some sort, and this scene is obviously vital to the plot. it's good to pause from time to time and forego any momentum. #mandy minute 95
