I'm interested in the movie but kind of wary on it. I honestly love Guillermo del Toro movies so of course I will watch it eventually.

Devil's Backbone was my fav creepy one from him. Pan will always have a space in my heart. It's probably because I used to daydream about being a faerie princess or something when I was a kid. Plus I like to act like the creepy hand/eye monster at home. Walk around like that when I don't have my glasses on.

isn't it based off a real Spanish creature in mythology, that eye-hand guy? anyways, he freaked me out, genuinely.

so Devil's Backbone is definitely something i should check out, it seems to be in some good-standing. :strokebeard:

well, kudos on him, he made it seem very believable, to an extent. i could've swore it was based on like real folklore of somekind. :yesnod:

and i've got it booked on my big list of movies. i've got a lot of ground to cover....

:speechless:

Are you serious? Kung Fu movies are like...by definition one of the simplest and most formulaic kinds of movies. :lol: You'd have to be on insane amounts of benzos to be confused by the storyline of one.

Quite possibly the only kung fu movie I've ever seen with even a mildly confusing storyline, if only cuz it goes in such strange directions.

Not strictly kung fu, but A Chinese Ghost Story and Peking Opera Blues have confusing as hell storylines.

Chinese film is awesome.

The Story of Qiu Ju
Ju Dou
Farewell My Concubine
Raise the Red Lantern
Hero


classics. still gotta see Yi Yi though. fuck i should not have discarded it. :nonono:

and Blue Kite and Yellow Earth too. i had them and then i got rid of them! whhhhhat a doofus.

i miss when Allmovie had the links to lists of movies based on their Country (of origin) i don't know why they got rid of that. i wouldn't have seen not nearly the same breadth of awesome movies if it wasn't for that. wish i could have bookmarked it...luckily there is a good compilation of British films i could look at, but is it as comprehensive, i don't know. :sad:

and Germany and Spain and Italy, so many i miss out on now...luckily i remember most of the greats from Italy and like Russia and stuff, because they're more well known...but British and German and Spanish classics don't get enough love. :sad:

Allmovie kinda sucks now, but it's made some improvements. slight improvements. still, i wanna be able to search West Germany and get classic old school German film. :archiebunker:

i still haven't seen Das Boot...what a crime.
