Mondo has some good illustrators, but I haven't seen anything from them that suggests they have any decent designers.

I too saw Black Hole when it came out, and although the production values are sub-Battlestar Galactica I still liked it, if only because most Disney films don't feature anyone getting shredded by a whirling-bladed Murder-Bot. I also recently had to label a dilapidated laptop at work and wrote "OLD B.O.B." on it.

I remember Pete's Dragon as being one of those weird Disney movies they made back in the seventies, along with the Leprechaun one with a very young Sean Connery, and errr the one with the old woman and the pirate ghost? It seems looking back they were flailing around with live-action integrated with cartoons and at one end of the spectrum you had Bedknobs and Broomsticks and at the other end you had Pete's Dragon et al. The Black Hole I remember was some other thing entirely where on the one hand it started as kind of a Lost In Space-style sci-fi adventure. But then about halfway through maybe it turns downright Faustian as you find out whoops the crazed doctor made his underlings by ripping their faces off and replacing their heads with circuitry, and his robot companion (who's big and sharp and red, the opposite of the harmless friendly robots the heroes have) is basically Mephistopheles and even the main bad guy is scared of him. Then the finale was the main characters all dying and going to heaven, while the antagonist is forced to spend eternity in hell inside his robotic enforcer's body, stood atop a burning mountain as the damned parade below him. Not "oh hey the bad guy tripped and plummeted into the flames!" like Hunchback or "he fell and came to an off-sceen and nonspecific but definitely final" fate like Up or Tarzen or whatever, it's pretty drat explicit where he is. I come from a very religious household so yeah that film left an impression. Pierson fucked around with this message at 23:41 on Mar 9, 2014 |

Not exactly, but close. I'm not going to use spoiler tags, because The Black Hole is 35 years old now, however. While Dr. Reinhart did do some awful things to the crew, it's heavily implied that he's lobotomized them and made them "robot-like", stuck doing the same menial tasking all the time. Old B.O.B. states that he doesn't know how the Doctor has kept them alive and doesn't want to know. However, we're given a clue as to what happens when Kate gets taken to medical and they start zapping her brain with the same devices that the "robotic" crew had been zapped by earlier. What is unusual about the "Hell" scene, is that it is implied that the Reinhart/Maximilian hybrid/avatar is lording over almost all of the crew of the Cygnus. What did they do to deserve that? Or if the figures aren't the crew, then who are these figures? As for "Heaven", the floating spirit going down the crystal hallway is never explained as blatantly as "Hell". Is it Jesus? Dr. Durant? Or even Kate's father, Frank McCrae? We're never told. But for Charlie, Kate and Dan, they basically emulate Dante's trip through both Hell and Heaven, albeit much more abbreviated. They exit out of a white hole and happen to be near a new planet. Since the mission of the Palomino's crew was to discover new life, the triumphant notes in the soundtrack, while the probe ship heads to that mysterious world, hint that their quest is now over. (And in fact, in the comic books that went further into the story, they do find life on that world, but that's not really canon.) I mean, the religious symbolism is there absolutely. I mean, the good doctor paraphrased Goethe's supposed last words for his last words. "More light." I guess what I'm saying is that I'm a huge nerd for this film and I love it for it's total campiness and the adult questions it tries to ask. Even though it's kind of ham handed at times.  Pierson posted:The ending to The Black Hole is insane and when I found out it was a Disney film years later I think I probably went "no loving way". What's interesting is that it took the Black Hole for Disney to make Touchstone Pictures, so that the good name of Disney wouldn't be sullied by more "adult" themed movies.

Pierson posted:Man that is some pretty heavy stuff. Black Hole isn't something I really want to revisit since I know the second time around won't be anywhere near as good you know? Might change my mind now. Had no idea Touchstone had anything to do with Disney so I guess that tactic worked! Looking through the wiki entry there's more stuff there too, including apparently a Jack Kirby adaptation(!) and they developed a whole camera system for it. I really think you should give it another watch. All this talk about it actually inspired me to watch it again, and while I'm writing up this post, the Cygnus is falling apart! There is just so much that is interesting about this movie that I know, as a child, I would have never have picked up on. I've heard people call The Black Hole Disney's attempt at Star Wars, but it is so much more dark and horrifying. Take Dr. Durant's disembowelment itself... In Star Wars, there is violence shown with Ben Kenobi cutting off that alien's arm, but the violence is so quick, you barely have time to react to it. The cantina freaks out during the act of violence, but immediately goes back to everything back to normal. Inversely, when Maximilian shreds Dr. Durant's stomach, you hear and see the act coming and then happening. Kate reacts in horror, while Dr. Reinhart just takes it all in stride... on the outside. Right afterward, he has this one moment of clarity where he breaks out of his insanity. The fear of Maximilian in his voice and eyes is so palpable, but after Kate rebuffs him, his grip on sanity is finally lost. That all said, I feel that any sort of remake of the film would some how dumb down the metaphysical aspects of the original for the sake of making an easy buck or two. The Black Hole asks all these really deep questions, but it is held back because it is stuck in this PG film. Which is a shame. Jedit posted:I don't know what happened at the end of The Black Hole, but it couldn't have had anything to do with God because it's not out on Blu-ray. I've seen it on TV in 720p, and it is a gorgeous film. The setpieces and model work are beautiful. It's a huge shame that Disney refuses to release it on Blu-ray.

We just did an Alcohollywood on The Black Hole, and I definitely agree that it doesn't hold up quite as well as you'd think. Basically, between the initial reveal of the Cygnus up until Anthony Perkins gets disemboweled (gently caress spoilers, the movie's older than I am), it's a complete and utter slog. The movie decides to actually pick up and get nice and dark at around that scene, and the rest of the time all the actors are completely phoning it in. The John Barry score is beautiful, as is the production design, which makes the dark Faustian stuff interesting, but the cast (despite their ability to incredible pedigree) is dull, and the pacing is incredibly slow.computer parts posted:I thought that was Land Before Time at first. Yeah, I literally thought it was The Secret of NIMH or something at first. It took other posts for me to figure out definitively what movie that was.

As of September the remake is still slated for 2016. Joe Kosinski is on board as director and the script is being written by Jon Spaihts, who did Prometheus.
