Just got out of it. Didn't stick around for the q&a. Movie was fine but that was the WORST audience I have ever had to endure. Three assholes sitting in the front (shows how smart they were, there was like 18 people in the theater) tried to make jokes whenever the movie hit a comic beat, some guy I'm guessing was an RLM fan actually yelled "what a piece of poo poo!" when it ended, starting a shouted conversation over the credits. Just awful. I had never seen a Cosmatos picture before and didn't know what to expect. A fairly straightforward delightful revenge picture, like Tarantino might make if he was born in the first half of the 70s. Cage's beer belly and workingman thickness is perfect, his stomach almost steals the show. The movie seems to have a definite love-hate relationship to fantasy it's trying to work through. I'm sure somebody already said this but lmao at the villain's lame-rear end folk music, best gag in the movie

ruddiger posted:It's a very self-indulgent movie, but that's alright. I really liked the title cards, though 1983 A.D. made me roll my eyes pretty hard. Also, none spring to mind, but has there been any other movie where the main title for the movie shows up an hour into the movie? Usually it's at the beginning or the end, I think this is the first time I saw it show up smack dab in the middle of the movie. Implicitly, Mandy is also the name of the axe

Coffee And Pie posted:He was definitely supposed to be a Mason type, obsessed with himself to the point where his music sucked so he decided to be a cult leader instead. Just with The Carpenters instead of the Beatles/Beach Boys It's great how perfectly almost everything about the way Jeremiah presents himself, down to the toneless didactic song lyrics, tracks perfectly to real new age weirdo types you can see on Youtube

I didn't want to spam the thread but it's a seriously great moment and wonderfully acted. Cage perfectly gets the awkwardness of realizing you are at your most tragic moment--that you will never go through anything worse than this. It's a kind of mourning really.
