listening to: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9IqnNlsgcUQ as i write up what i thought about phantom of the paradise i liked it, i thought it was very creative and had a lot of great effects the plot was simultaneously simple yet interwoven with some twists and turns that kept things interesting winslow was a cool character, i liked how he could hulk out as part of a defining character trait, just rage incarnate, it made him more than just a victim, there were times i felt bad for the villain having winslow on his rear end the villain, swan, is also cool, all i know his actor from outside of this is dexters lab, there was a musical episode where he taught dexter to mix his passion for science with the creativity of music but here he plays the shadiest son of a bitch music executive ive ever seen, a real bastard, and it was neat to see his range compared to his good guy outing in dexters lab here are some spoilers of stuff i liked i really liked the scene where swan has winslow hooked up to his voice box and the recording studio, it was fun seeing swan mix winslow's voice back into existence and i liked how modulated it sounded i also loved a lot of shots of winslow, the way his eye peeps out of the mask set up some really emotional scenes and it was interesting how much he could emote with that hunk of junk on his head covering up most of his face the gay singer guy, beef, was also a more comedic highlight, for what was sort of set up on the amazon video page as a comedy, id say beef had the scenes that made me laugh the hardest, there was otherwise just some sensible chuckles at most but this comedy is mostly played pretty straight for how outlandish and stylized it is if there was one thing i didnt like it was how many loving hard cuts there were in the finale, it was dizzying how the editing was, i get it was going for a certain level of energy but the constant hard cuts all over the place was making me go crosseyed kickass thanks for suggesting roth

watched videodrome will read what others have said later but it was a cool movie good effects and symbolism and probably a wealth of little details that id need to rewatch to pick up on one of them that i think i did catch was the guy at the end saying he has his head in this box and then later on stage they chiseled out a head from a block of marble it might have been supposed to be james woods lol but yeah cool story unreliable narrators are hard to pull off right but i think they did a good job here even if james woods was a huge pussy lmfao, obviously a commentary on how media preys on the pleasure center of our brain so yeah a lot to extrapolate but good will watch again a few years down the line

watched horror express and it was cool made me wonder how they made the eyes glow back then, looks like contacts with lights under them but that would be blinding/hot right against the eye crazy not a super shitton to say, had some dry bits of humor that made me lol scattered throughout, i liked the song the baggage guy whistled that kind of became a motif throughout the movie, it was funny to think of some ape skeleton dude pursing its lips to whistle after the baggage guys song was cut short, it continued the song after he died lol because it absorbed his thoughts, didnt even put that together now how the ape knew to continue the song but thats the first clue it steals thoughts isnt it cool lol also i noticed creepshow in the list, theres a story in it very similar to this one called the crate
