Seriously though make sure you watch the proper cut. Especially this year that we lost Daria, gotta make sure you get the full Daria experience.

I'm running out of big Argento films to first experience. I might watch Mother of Tears.

I liked Mother of Tears more than I was expecting. Probably because I had my bar of expectations set at "Argento's Dracula" and it wasn't nearly as bad as that.

Rewatched Deep Red and saw Tenebre for the first time today, and I definitely enjoyed Tenebre more.

They're definitely very different giallo(gialli?), at least if you watched the Daria cut of Deep Red. Tenebre is much more of a straight ahead, but very intense and very effective giallo. Deep Red is more meandering and has a lighter tone in certain parts.

The more you delve into Hooper's filmography the more you understand that the narrative about Spielberg/Poltergeist is like 90% horseshit. The 10% that's true involves the fact that yes, Spielberg was involved and was often on set. Being involved doesn't mean you directed the film, as Spielberg has proven many times over the years with his producing work. There's a difference.

A big part of the issue comes down to the fact that Hooper is "The Texas Chainsaw guy" in the minds of so many people, and so they have a hard time with the idea that he'd make something like Poltergeist. But Hooper was versatile, and I think he proved to be absolutely capable of doing something with a lighter, more Spielbergian slant to it without having to give up the reigns completely to someone else.

Scott's "I Believe" speech at the end is pretty great.

It's just funny that they got Boorman to do this highly anticipated sequel and then everyone was like "wait a second, this is kinda weird!" as if he hadn't just made Zardoz a few years before.

Not that I'd recommend it, but Kwaidan is an anthology with no wraparound story so watching it over multiple sittings is an option.
