Dogma, no relation to Dogme 95. 😉 Dogma was interesting, created a real hoopla with the Vatican. Getting more ununusual, and into arthouse territory, the German movie about angels called Wings of Desire was most interesting — I imagine that Dogma was at least partially inspired by it. They did a sort of a remake of Wings of Desire starring Nicholas Cage called City of Angels — not very good I thought. Hey, there’s another parallel, Nicholas Cage in a mediocre remake, that is assuming that he will star in a new version of Wicker Man.
Never got around to watching “Mating Patterns…”, wanted to. Will look for the Swedish movie you mentioned (I’m part Swedish you know), the English name is very familiar.
I loved the Tales From The Darkside television series as a kid, miss it. I saw the first of the TFTD movies in the movie theatre, knew one of the cast. I still vividly remember that scene with the cat flying into that person’s mouth — gross! 😆 If you liked that and you haven’t seen the Creepshow movies yet then you should!
Going back to Mandara’s Freaks reference, needless to say it freaked me out a bit at first, but I did I found it quite moving and poignant. It’s an amazing film, surprisingly non-exploitive, particularly for its time.
So I guess it’s time for my next weird film choice: the horror film [url=http://www.thespinningimage.co.uk/cultfilms/displaycultfilm.asp?reviewid=421]Basket Case[/url]. It’s a about a siamese twin, not much more than a lump of flesh that was seperated from his brother at the age of 12, and the brother’s contined relationship. The “normal” brother keeps his crazy twin in a basket.
Or maybe several of the Troma classics (hmm, classics hardly seems the term), which one. Hmm, Tromeo and Juliet, Trey parker’s Cannibal the Musical? There are just so many weird movies to choose from, and that makes me very happy! 😀
