Title: always go back to the classics Post by: The Whacker on August 22, 2003, 05:24:36 PM See Brain Damage -- Paramount Studios
You know, it really is a great piece of sci-fi, slow paced and drawn out at times and sometimes quirky. The film gets points for the authenticity and street shots in Manhattan. There is murder in the strangest ways and strangest places, especially to the main character's girlfriend. There is the token sex scene, which lasts about 3 minutes, so I guess Brian's brother is just a minute man... oh yeah, then the girl takes it through the mouth.... literally.... Overall, it does get addictive watching this film a few times.... Title: Re: always go back to the classics Post by: Ash on August 22, 2003, 07:24:29 PM I bought it on DVD...watched it several times and then watched it with director commentary and I'm firmly convinced that director Frank Henenlotter is gay.
He is obsessed with phallic imagery on...and I'm pretty sure off the screen. Aylmer didn't look like a turd to me...he looked like a big slimy blue dick and this is confirmed by Henenlotter in the commentary. He admits modelling it after a penis. Andrew even said it himself in his review that there's more male nudity than he's comfortable with and also mentioned being turned off by Aylmer telling the kid, "You need my juice." Sounds more like a money shot to me. Listen to some of the things Henenlotter says on the director commentary....it's so obvious! Post Edited (08-22-03 19:33) |
