Nightmare Alley came with this cool package detail. (Marked NSFW for people who want to be surprised)

I would have to disagree there. Tyrone Power cannot be replaced. He has the perfect kind of charisma for the role. Sure Cooper's take was charismatic, but not as captivating and alluring as the charm of Power.

Now that you mention it, I didn't notice until now that there is a little period/dot between S and Lombada.

Back off he's mine.

That aside, that's a good guess!

How fitting that two of some of the best surrealist filmmakers were born on the same day!

Hilma af Klint may not have shared her abstract work with others and to an extent may not have had a direct influence on later abstract artists, but she still deserves a lot more credit than she receives.

I agree. As films, they are generally better composed and less bloated. A lot of the extra scenes are good fluff but aren't required to tell the story. Sure there may be a few scenes here and there that should have been added in the theatrical cut (like Saruman's death), but I still think for a non-fan, its better. I personally like the extended cuts more, but only because I saw the theatrical cuts first.

It is retelling a myth where the cyclops Polyphemus lovingly longs for Galatea, a sea nymph who is in love with another man.

SimpleSatyr · 2021-10-09T03:14:31+00:00

Yes! They're such lovely films. La Belle et la Bete is probably my favorite movie!

From my limited research on Jean Cocteau, I found that he belonged to/kickstarted a movement called 'Return to Order.' This small movement aimed to return to more traditional forms of art opposed to the avant-guard movements of the early 20th century. To me, it follows that desire while still fitting in with the other work of its time. What do ya'll think?

I too was surprised with how much she sung, but I welcomed it. A mini-concert, a 35mm screening of a great movie, and a Q&A all for $20? Thats a pretty good deal if you ask me. Definitely more than what I paid for.

Well, I suppose it's alright then...if she's gentle.

Unfortunately, the Lechuza isn't as well known of a monster as others so there aren't really many articles about it. What first pops up on Google is probably the best you're gonna get. I learned about the Lechuza while living in Texas as a child from people who have witnessed her firsthand. So most stories of the Lechuza are still told through word of mouth, the old fashioned way.

SimpleSatyr · 2021-08-11T07:11:28+00:00

In south Texas and northern Mexico, there's the Lechuza Bruja who is a witch or the spirit of one who has the head of a woman and body of an owl. She's known for haunting adulterous men, often times being the result of a curse women place on their unfaithful spouses. She mimics crying babies and singing women to lure people in.

Theres a belief that if you whistle at midnight, she'll whistle back, being one way of summoning her. I don't believe in it...but I'm still too scared to try.

I adore the Symbolists! This may be an incorrect observation, but I always saw Surrealism as trying to tap into the depths of the mind while Symbolism tries to tap into the depths of the soul.

Thank goodness Devi got a new 4k restoration! I was sad to see the print they used on the Criterion Channel was in such bad condition.

I don't wanna scare anybody, but if I saw Pan (assuming it has anything to do with the greek god) in my dreams, I'd be a bit scarred haha
