They're all kind of the same one dimensional character and are just there to complement Wolverine's character development. If these washed up losers who've seemingly lost everything can still fight and die for something, then so can he. X-23 could've had more than one dialogue scene to flesh her out as a foil, though.

The reason why some opinions suck. Fuck this guy for sure

Taylor kitsch should've came back as gambit

"Parade of Grasshoppers" LOL!! 😂 Wasn't that the title of an unreleased album from Iron Butterfly circa 1968?

Mark with the twizzlers - LOL

The directors full name is Giuseppe Avati his stage name also brings out the Beavis and Butthead in me for that’s the reason I call him Giuseppe Avati

I arrived just for the goodbye🤦‍♂🤦‍♂🤦‍♂ ...have to settle for watching it offline...😤😤😤

Jen Kirkman is weird she blocked me on Twitter and never interacted with her lol

He never blocked the door and even this awful doc never claimed he did

Divine!

oakes is terrific. a very moving brilliant movie, really enjoyed it.

25:15 Besides the obvious exhibitionism, it's provocation. He is a sex addict and wants other people to join him in "debauchery". A sex dirtbag. I was listening to a podcast of "reactionary" commentators from England and they were discussing the painter Francis Bacon. He was of the post-WW2 generation and , going from the commentary from the podcast, had a knack for serving a little extra alcohol to his guests. Guess to make them lose their inhibitions. Louis likely is on the same ballpark. Sex addict that is always chasing the latest high. He thought that now that he had made it to the "Big City", away from the prudes and now he can jerk off, drink alcohol and call hookers anytime he wanted to. As a comic he had a life on the road, spending hours driving and living in hotel rooms likely watching hours and hours of the porn channels. Giving birth to the anomie. I can think of another comic that could get in trouble anytime. But his fetish is ... special and few would thread there.

Saw it when it came out

Great discussion!

I have to take small issue with the critique of the insertion of the”Strange Love” segment to the soundtrack: It was sappy, syrupy, and ridiculously mawkish-perfect for Lust for a Vampire.

I love the Hammer films but I feel like they had started to run out of steam by this point. There were a few gems left to come but it was mostly downhill from this period on. Amicus were producing much better and memorable films around the same time (in my opinion) . Hope you guys enjoy your next return to Hammerland a lot more.

Good point about showing how other regions, etc reacted to the invasion. Day one was over all too quickly, so it's not really Day one, is it? I understand that we're living through our heroine's eyes. But her being knocked out, albeit plausible that such a thing should happen, was a creative cheat.

What a disappointment this review is. So much wrong with it. Firstly, before you pontificate, check your history. Vampires were always content in light until the 20th century when the film Nosferatu was released. It is a modern myth. Secondly check the pronunciation of the name of the main actress before recording it wrongly & disrespectfully . .And how can you pompously state a view when you admit you were distracted throughout, even possibly missing the final half hour. I would like to point out the stunning cinematography, shown up beautifully in the more recent release of the BluRay , the superb British actors universally employed,( there are actually no poor performances) & the light hearted & fun feel to the whole movie; if you like, a Disneyfied take on The Karnstein story. A shameful review in my opinion.

I know thte actual house is Dawes Farm in Farmhurst, West Suffolk. It's still standing but remodelled.

Ralph Bates was in a much loved UK comedy called 'Dear John' , and was also the great, great , grandson of Louis Pasteur, fyi.

Very glad I happened upon your discussion on this film! My favorite film (along with 2049) I saw the film when I was 15, blew my mind! Loved it! Was my fist dvd purchase and then my first blu-ray! So it's my opinion that Deckard is human! The original book he's human, the two screenplays he's human, and despite the ambiguous and more overt comments by Scott...the story works so much better with him as a human. So in my Bladerunner world he's human! Works for me and I'm sticking with it lol Thanks for the discussion!!! - The animals were extinct (or extremely rare) and illustrate the loss due to ecological collapse. - The photos are from Rachael's (used by Tyrell to reinforce their implanted memories) They're not Deckard's pictures. And he's drinking and musing...which could naturally lead to his "dream sequence) btw - Might be of interest: "In the documentary Dangerous Days: Making Blade Runner, Hauer, director Ridley Scott, and screenwriter David Peoples confirm that Hauer significantly modified the speech. In his autobiography, Hauer said he merely cut the original scripted speech by several lines, adding only, "All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain". One earlier version in Peoples' draft screenplays was: I've known adventures, seen places you people will never see, I've been Offworld and back… frontiers! I've stood on the back deck of a blinker bound for the Plutition Camps with sweat in my eyes watching stars fight on the shoulder of Orion... I've felt wind in my hair, riding test boats off the black galaxies and seen an attack fleet burn like a match and disappear. I've seen it, felt it...![ And, the original script, before Hauer's rewrite, was: I've seen things... seen things you little people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion bright as magnesium... I rode on the back decks of a blinker and watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments... they'll be gone. Hauer described this as "opera talk" and "hi-tech speech" with no bearing on the rest of the film, so he "put a knife in it" the night before filming, without Scott's knowledge. After filming the scene with Hauer's version, crew-members applauded, with some even in tears. In an interview with Dan Jolin, Hauer said that these final lines showed that Batty wanted to "make his mark on existence ... the replicant in the final scene, by dying, shows Deckard what a real man is made of"." - wikipedia Again (imo) pointing to Deckard being human. Also in 2049 he has aged. It's very apparent 😉

This story screams remake The novel by Matheson is a classic. The important P.G. rating or G.P. rating to get the kids in kind of toned down the scares stated in the novel. As it stands the film in okay. Specially in set, photography, acting, directing dept. Loads of atmosphere. The climax with R.M. screaming in the wind did nothing for me, kind of a anticlimactic choice. However it was interesting seeing good old Michael Gough as Balasko's corpse.

Voting for Kennedy 2024 you should be like a music celebrity bro. Kennedy III hell yeah

The log splitter was disappointing, the hooks were very creatively utilized

I had to turn this off halfway through because I just got sick of Jeff being all holier-than-thou and talking over Cati the whole time. This video draws an interesting parallel to the movie it discusses in that we spend entirely too much time on one man's point of view and are given very little payoff for it.

As a big fan of this film, I appreciated AC's comments, but honestly found Ian's comments to be very juvenile (typical of this younger generation of fans addicted to the drivel of "horror" that is released on the big screen these days). The vast majority of Modern "horror" films lack any atmosphere and plot and seemingly only exist to shock and thrill audiences to make a quick profit.

One part where you can see a change of heart, is where Jeff Gerber has a difference with his boss, over his not wanting to write exploitative insurance policies. This causes him to have a change of heart, since his interacting with the black community as an insurance agent, gives him some insight into their lives.

Fuckin great movie.

Great analysis and conversation! I agree with your take on the depth of this movie and the writing of the female character. Other reviewers say that she is one note, but i disagree. I loved this movie!

A colorful fact, the protagonist is the daughter of a very well-known singer in Latin America, Ricardo Arjona and she is dating, or at least dated a couple of times, with Jason Momoa... I am for the gossip section of the channel.. Ian later gave you a couple of references...🤣🤣🤣🤣

good video, best critics ever!!! It's a pitty that it wasn't a live show so I could bombard you with my extensive, out-of-context and silly questions... you guys had a lot of patience with me and answer all of them... this comment is for the KZbin algorithm. 📈⏫⬆

Wish this was playing somewhere near me!

Hi Ian, to complement a little more the threat that AI's are for the future of the movie business, now a new player is the Chinese with their new AI, called Kling, which allows given a text as input, interprets it and generates a movie as output. Very good live and I look forward to the next one.💪💪💪

Really interesting conversation. I agree that the answer for theaters is to get more into showing sports events etc. Oh, on the trailer spoilers discussion, if you watch the classic trailers for the old Hammer movies, they are FILLED with spoilers. They basically show a condensed version of the movie. One final thought - I haven't gone to a movie theater since my son was born and I can't see myself going back until he's old enough to go. I'd like him to have the experience, mostly based on my own childhood nostalgia. It's possible that the movie theater won't mean much to him - or most kids in the coming years.

Too many ads; at least Armond White can be fun to listen to.

Terrific discussion, Ian, and I love this panel. I still love the first two Mad Max movies from years ago. I think I enjoyed Fury Road on a technical level when I saw it, but I felt it was so removed from the earlier films and I can't imagine why this prequel was endorsed. The first Mad Max is a great Aussie revenge flick that is more grounded because it's not in this overly stylized and rather dry universe. I just feel so uninspired by this. Haven't been to the cinema yet in 2024 and this was not going to do it.

Excellent observation about parent swapping. Also I think the leader Buzz should be with Platos rich parents. Then h doesn’t have to steal and just throw house parties.

Bro’s camera cannot be any foggier lmaooo this guy is hilarious

One of my favorite movies

FYI There is an Italian Giallo 'The Embalmer' 1965 set in Venice where the killer wears a scuba outfit and stalks women thru the canals of Venice. Also there is a great motorboat chase thru the canals of Amsterdam in 'Puppet on a Chain' 1971. Seen 'Amsterdamned 'many times and love it , been to the great city of Amsterdam many times and also love it.

Democracy isnt free speech. Democracy is dead.

The people that are are absolutel lunatics. How dare he say that most women would love be moms. It's true. Being a parent is the most amazing thing I could EVER do. I'm just a dad.

😂😂😂😂 no one that matters cares

Oh God. The fact is everyone ..you me and Buttkiss ...we all have our opinions. So you see Butkiss might believe women should be pregnant making a home but I believe a man should be indebted and inservitude working his ass off for his wifes' fake boobs, fake hair, fake lips, gawdy nails, indebt to his eyeballs for his home and car and whatever debt he takes on to increase his fake wealth. I believe men should be slaves to society so their wives can sit around drinking wine while they enjoy play dates, and send their children to universitys and pay for their education... so they can be frankly working citizens of this country. Look dude it goes both ways.... think what you think and I will think what I think. You want me as a woman staying home making babies.. okay.. I can entertain that..but it will cost you. Yah, My free speech.

Amen🙏❤️

Freedom of Speech, Democracy...

She, she she... lol

You might already know this. But Vampire Circus was an incomplete film. Hammer pulled the plug on the film two 3rd's into production. The director had to assemble what footage he had into a coherent storyline. It was released as a second feature. I would love to have seen the directors original vision.

It explains why Gary's acting was so corny. That stood out to me immediately. It did feel like a complete waste of energy. The beginning with the crazy guy made no sense.

Thank you : )
