You could tell the scene was going down hill when you started getting things like "Hot Topic;" (the store that me and my friends used to call "Goth In A Box"). I always like the early stages of the scene; when their was real eccentricity; not just a bunch of pop-culture garbage...Ah, for the goo...

Riff...one of those rare voices that cab scream and growl lyrics, and it sounds fucking great!!!

Having got introduced to Argento in the early 80s, I watched a lot of his earlier movies, and reached the conclusion that they are scary in the same way the the original Evil Dead was; the bad acting, and borderline special effects actually contribute to the feeling of something being off kilter;...

Been listening to KISS since Rock N' Roll over was the "new album". I do have to admit, that for an album that came out after their original, and I still believe, most creative period, Revenge was very strong. There is a dark intensity to songs like this one, and Paralyzed, that was unlike anythi...

@KellyGreen5555 Very unjustly underrated. Unlike so many of the Stephen King adaptations, despite the fact that the story line divergences greatly from the book, it still captures the mood perfectly. And, you hit it just right with the word "tragic." I never really thought of the novel as a horro...

@RangerDanger117 Well said...! Or as a certain dark jester once put it..."Why so serious?"

This was the first Cooper album I ever owned; but not the first one that I had heard. I love 70s Cooper, but I think this is one of his best; never understood fans who tried to shoot it down...

I was diagnosed as BLP about two months after I bought the album. I was in and out of "psycho wards" for most of the late 80s and early 90s. So, yeah, I love it and hate it, all at the same time.

Was this on a Euro or Japanese release? I've got the album and I haven't found any bonus tracks...

As an interesting side note...surviving documentation from Jean indicates that she planned, after driving the British out of France, on launching her own little Crusade against the Huguenots, the French protestants. So, essentially doing the same thing to the "heretics" that the Church did to her.

As so many here have said, best moment in the film. I was really surprised by this movie. It starts out as a "Braveheart" style epic, and then becomes something else entirely. I have heard so many theories on who/what the cloaked figure was supposed to be. In the credits Hoffman is listed only as...

Like any Maiden fan, I cannot say that I was unhappy to see that Bruce was coming back to the band. But, I loved Blaze, as well. I personally think that the X-Factor was one of the most underrated Maiden albums every; unjustly I might add. I was disappointed that I would not see the evolution of...

It disturbed me because I knew the history of the SS/Waffen SS. Both the general and armed(Waffen)SS participated in the Holocaust. Also, at the time I was reading about Project Paperclip and other examples of the US aiding and abetting Nazi War Criminals. It mad...

I don't feel the same about Jerry as the vocalist though. I know that Misfits style vocals doesn't require Operatic skills, but Jerry's range and resonance is just too limited to do a lot of the songs justice. I love him as a bassist and lyricist. But, they need Doyle back, and they need Graves, ...

Anyone who enjoys this scene should check out an essay on Hamlet by G. Wilson Knight; some great insight in this.

I didn't think it was possible to contain so many clever word-plays and morbid jokes in one scene! If I were pressed to give a favorite scene in the film, this would be it.

Even his seemingly disdainful, "Not I; I never gave you aught..." can be read to be an attempt to armor himself against the pain that he feels; it's not just a way of hurting her.

It should be noted that the CIA's program of acquiring ownership of what were ostensibly civilian organizations (i.e. media outlets) parallels the modus operandi of the Nazi SS; I would be interested to learn if they acquired ownership of any non-media related industrial concerns as well. I brin...

A great song from a sadly over-looked album. I bought it when it first came out, and listened to this track over, and over.

Thanks again for this forgotten jewel.

Much belatedly, I wanted to thank you for posting this. I am a long time reader of the Batman comics, in various forms, and I think that I have never seen a more unique, and powerful version of the Joker than the one that Heath Ledger gave us. I have watched his performances in this film over and...
