For some reason blogger won't let me leave comments on that site - but just to say that I found your essays on 'Evil Dead', 'Day of The Dead' and 'The Fly' full of insight. Looking forward to more.systemshockshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11764053627155230451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8121497265402071351.post-42855896368058937582011-12-02T13:16:20.471-08:002011-12-02T13:16:20.471-08:00Very True.

Two middle-aged scientists, both proficient on the electric guitar, throwing shapes against the timeless expanse of the icecaps.<br /><br />2. A lone penguin, its human observers legally obliged to refrain from physically interceding, tottering off in totally the wrong direction, its final destination certain death.<br /><br />Either of these images would utterly define a film.<br /><br />Throw both of them into the same production and the dichotomy ought to overwhelm the film.<br /><br />Put Herzog in the director's chair and the insane contradiction somehow makes sense.<br /><br />And the best thing is: he made this movie on the Discovery Channel's coin.<br /><br />I fucking bloody love Werner Herzog!Neil Fulwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14686296295535235988noreply@blogger.com
