Just got out of a packed screening at the Alamo, what a loving beautiful movie. Well worth the effort to see on the big screen if it's showing near you.

They certainly nailed the on-screen depiction of a horrific acid trip. I loved the gorgeous lighting and the various visual effects on hallucinations, especially Mandy and Jeremiah's faces bleeding into each other

That scene was so amazing.

I just read an interview with Cosmatos where he reveals that he originally planned for Cage to play Jeremiah, not Red :aaa:

I'm glad it ended up the way it did, because that performance by Roache was fantastic.

This movie reminded me of an 80s Schwarzenegger movie (I hate this cliche but it really applies here) on acid.

It's funny you mention that, because I just learned that Panos Cosmatos' father directed Cobra and Rambo: First Blood Part II.

e: haha wrong thread

On topic - I convinced a buddy of mine that lives in Singapore that he needed to see Mandy asap. He then managed to convince a group of 8 co-workers of his to all go with him, and he texted this from the theater about 2 hours ago. Eagerly awaiting an update to see how that went for them!

Am I mistaken or did Red spare the young female cultist his wrath? If so, why? She was complicit in all of it.

I got the feeling he rescued Mandy from a similar past, and the cultist girl reminded him of her.

It's been posted a few times, but absolutely essential viewing.

I keep telling you the popcorn trick doesn’t count if you’re alone

It counts, you just have to sit on one hand for 20 minutes until it goes numb first.

Now that you mention it, that shot is pretty much just this shot from Enter the Dragon (which makes me love it even more)

In the GQ video interview (that everyone should watch) Nic said that was exactly the shot he wanted to copy.

Someone upthread a ways back posted a huge imgur album of high res screengrabs. I'll have to dig that up.

So I went ahead and uploaded a shitload of high quality screenshots from Mandy, in case anybody else wanted some.

Print them out and watch a Mandy flip-book movie!
