or is it mainstream? either way it's a classic and a masterpiece.

but if the half fish girl/half human girl was more beautiful than any other girl in dagon wouldn't you want to have sex with her more than with any other girl in this film? so isn't it more important what a girl looks like than the fact that she is only half human?
I thought the other woman (Spanish actress Raquel Merono Coello) was more attractive. I like Southern European women.
The actress who played the half-fish girl is attractive too. But, sexually, I'd prefer her as a human not a half-fish person. I don't believe in interspecies sex.
did you know that william castle actually produced rosemary's baby? i find this extremely odd. i just found this out about a year ago. i find this extremely odd bc when i think of castle i think of old '50s innocent, kids horror films like the tingler or house on haunted hill not something evil and adult horror like rosemary's baby.
No, but that's interesting. Maybe he agreed to produce Rosemary's Baby after seeing Polanski's Fearless Vampire Killers (1967), which was much more of a horror comedy film and similar in some ways to Castle's tongue in cheek horror films.
she a horrible person sophie whatever her name is on here. she pretends to care about me deeply having these passionate and in depth emotionally messages to me with love letter kinds of endearing words and then she leaves me alone for months on end and never replies to my messages that i keep sending her over and over again.
she proclaims to love me and told me we'll be together someday but never means the words she is saying is only playing with me, is only using me for a good time at my expense.
Are you sure she wasn't just joking around or that you weren't talking to someone who was pretending to be her (we have a lot of impostors on this board)?
My interactions with her have been pleasant.
by the way when you said post punk it immediately reminded me of my all time favorite band pixies. the reason why is my friend i told you about who loves the misfits told me that pixies is a post punk band. do you love pixies?
i love that samhain is a gothic band bc i love gothic music like bauhaus. do you love bauhaus?
Yeah, I like Bauhaus but I'm not much of a Pixies fan (admittedly, I haven't heard much by them).
what about the black sabbath album master of reality? do you love it? also do you love their album sabatoge?
Yes and yes. Those are both classic Sabbath albums.

no way, you'd actually have sex with the half fish girl if she was fully human over the more beautiful girl in this film if she was a half fish girl? that's amazing to me bc you said your mind is in the 1800s so i'd think you would be more independent of a thinker than liver than that. more open minded than that.
nothing wrong with sex with animals by the way. if you are a girl nothing wrong with having sex with a gigantic donged horse and nothing wrong with me watching you having sex with said gigantic donged horse. i mean they have freaking insanely big dongs so every girl at least has thought of in a fantasy way about having sex with a horse.
yes, i'm so glad you mentioned the fearless vampire killers bc this is such a wonderful film and its so well made. its almost a classic.
do you love it? i thought it was boring in a lot of parts bc well it was made in 1967 so it almost has to be boring to me but i liked a lot of it and thought it was quite original and quite clever with it's humor and lines of dialogue.
also it's quite ahead of it's time as far as it being a vampire film with comedy and it's humor was quite ahead of it's time and quite clever with it's humor and lines of dialogue.
yes, didn't i tell you she pretended and professed to love me and get together with me? also she sent me nude pics of herself and even audio recordings of her voice.
she did everything you can possibly expect from a girl who wants to be with you in a relationship but then would not reply for 2 months and did this more than once and when i asked her to please talk to me she would either say nothing or said she will but never did. she's a horrible person who only wanted attention.

Yes, I'd prefer to have sex with the fully human one. However, I'd still think the Spanish one is prettier (half-fish or not).

Yes, there's plenty wrong with it. Humans shouldn't be having sex with animals. Period.

What went on between you and her is none of my business so I really can't comment on any of that but I find it hard to believe that she sent any guy here nude photos of herself. -

I can understand why this resonates with you, lukejbarnett. You like putting women in what you assume is their place.
You asked a pretty question; I've given you the ugly answer.

Katharine Hepburn spells her name this way.
But she probably does not count because she's a manly lesbian who doesn't have any tits.
What do you think of Bette Davis? She had pretty big tits. In Whatever Happened to Baby Jane? her tits come down to her stomach. Do you like old ladies with big tits? -

You can probably title it under a "cult classic" these days, as I believe the years have been kind to the film. The Stepford Wives was modestly successful during its initial release, but wasn't a huge hit on par with previous cinematic adaptations of Ira Levin novels. Which was what the studio was hoping for im sure.
Its not a film that has enjoyed numerous re-releases on dvd, bluray, like other films, so its very much a cult classic as it certainly has its place, but I wouldn't go as far as claiming the film is mainstream.
I really feel sorry for anyone who watched only the Nicole Kidman version and not this one. Talk about "missing out"! -
lukejbarnett — 4 years ago(June 17, 2021 05:23 PM)
"the years have been kind to the film." it's very entertaining even to me who is a gen x person which is very impressive. so it's not a usual slow moving '70s movie, it's entertaining all the way through, that's why it holds up so well according to my film likes.

Johnny Wadd — 4 years ago(June 20, 2021 05:32 AM)
Yeah, I remember buying the dvd of the original shortly before the Nicole Kidman version was released in theaters. Which obviously pales in comparison to the subtlety nuisances of the 70s cult classic.
About the best thing I liked about the Nicole Kidman reboot of The Stepford Wives was the teaser trailer. I'm not sure if the film itself really had a specific identity? As some of the Stepford wives seemed simply hypnotized, while others came across as actual cyborgs.
I remember reading somewhere that some people involved with the reboot were under the impression that the film would be akin to the psychological thriller the original was, while others thought the film was going to be an outright comedy.
Apparently, this confusion carried over to the film itself.
Thankfully, the original was MUCH more focused and CLEARLY the better film by a mile! -
lukejbarnett — 4 years ago(June 21, 2021 03:40 AM)
i was so ticked off when i saw they remade it that i couldn't stand it.
it's yet another "cash grab easy money remake of a classic film so lets **** on the original film by making a completely unnecessary and not anywhere close to as great of a film as the original film bc it's impossible to make a remake as great as the original film film.
and you know what they also remade robocop, ghostbusters, footloose, and a nightmare on elm street. all movies that can not be remade bc it's impossible for them to be any better which should be the only reason a remake is made, can it be better than the original.
lukejbarnett -
lukejbarnett — 4 years ago(June 22, 2021 03:35 PM)
you should also avoid the remake of the stepford wives bc it can't be better than the original.
apparently i just heard this from my sister. one of her all time favorite films the princess bride, filmmakers were working on a remake of it. this better not happen ever.
my sister made a funny line about this that she read on a website about this remake. someone make a reference to a line in this film about the remake. it was "it would be a waste of a perfect film, in reference to the line, it would be a waste of perfect breasts," a line made about princess buttercups's tits.
it's interesting how she views a remake of a film as making it worse for her and the original film. a remake if you really think about it does nothing to the original film. it just makes us resent the remake, and the existence of the remake bc to us, the loyal fan of the original, it shouldn't exist.
i can't believe they remade the texas chainsaw massacre and black christmas and the last house on the left and i spit on your grave and the hills have eyes. i really could go on and on listing all these horror movie classics that they had no right to make remakes of.
the only horror film that has been made since 2003 that should have been made is silent night, but it want' a remake it was just a tribute movie bc it wasn't like the original at all, it just has a very similar tribute to the deer antler impaling linnea quigley scene.
you really have to watch the most comprehensive and very informative documentary in search of darkness. you can watch it for free on this website. just look up this documentary and click on the video for it.
the filmmakers of classic horror films made in the '80s take the time to talk about almost every important horror movie made in the '80s, film by film, year by year.

The remake of The Hills Have Eyes is pretty good, I must say, but it still pales in comparison to the original film. -
lukejbarnett — 4 years ago(June 25, 2021 06:08 AM)
but that's my point. it's a losing cause making a remake of a classic film bc you are going against all the fans of the original so you have to win them over which for some people is impossible to do.
also with some films my friend just said today that remaking ghostbusters is very very hard to do bc there is a 1% chance that the remake is better than the original.
so you have to do a test screening of the remake and see if audiences love it before you complete it. the original film is a perfect film. it has perfect casting, a unique and original story, prefect and very memorable acting by all the actors, there is not a weak acting part and not a performance that you think could be better if played by another actor.
so if a movie can't be improved upon it should never be remade and ghostbusters can't be made better so it shouldn't have been remade. also my friend said this remake damages and tarnishes the original film by it's existing bc from now on we live in a world in which has the original film, a classic film and the stupid and wrong remake. also he said the remake is an inferior product to the original film in the same way that the wnba is an inferior league to the nba.
i said having these 2 movies in the world is like being made the best gourmet meal in the world and getting fed this food and being full and then being given a generic hamburger from mcdonald's and then having to eat it so over eating when you don't need to eat it. so we have 2 movies and only one is necessary to watch. we don't need the remake and we shouldn't have the remake bc it's unnecessary bc it's not as good as the original.
movies are about giving us something we've never seen before. so to make a remake is starting off as a bad idea inherently it only becomes necessary if you can make it better than the original.
then the hills have eyes remake shouldn't have ever been made.
now what did you think of piranha(2010) which was directed by the same director who directed the remake of the hills have eyes, alexandre aja? my gosh this film is amazing. even if it's a remake of one of my all time favorite films piranha (1978)directed by joe dante i would be ok with that bc this film piranha(2010) is technically one of the best horror films and films ever made.
this film has a greatness in technical aspects: makeup effects, digital effects, acting, directing, story, pacing, tone, sound that is remarkable and truly astounding.
it puts you at the heart of this meltdown, this emergency that is happening on this beach area to all these people in a way that is unnerving and really realistic. in this way it is like jaws, where you feel this is a big and dangerous problem we have with people being in danger of their lives.
it puts you there in the massacre part of this film in the last about 30 minutes. i've never seen anything like the massacre that happens in this last part of this film. it is on a movie scale that i've never seen before. i've never seen so many people getting chewed apart, body parts half there and 100 people mangled and half their body being ripped apart.
and all of this part is done in the most realistic way that i've ever seen in a horror film. all the cries, all the noises of pain, all the sounds of them trying to get away from the piranhas.
did you actually watch the joke that is the black christmas remake? my gosh what a ****ing horrible movie and it ****s no the original by being horribly bad which is horrible and inexcusable. it's basically just a i know what you did last summer kind of movie, well that's what it looks like the in trailer anyway.
i cant' believe andrea martin stooped so low as to act in this movie when she was in the original film. she lost all my respect by acting in the remake.
did you like the texas chainsaw massacre remake or the i spit on your grave remake or the the last house on the left remake?

I agree with all of that. However, the studios and producers that are raking in all of the cash don't care. They just want to see profit so all of the classics seem to be getting remade these days. Also, a lot of young people might think the original films are outdated and prefer a "modern" version of said film.
Thankfully, Jaws is one classic that has never been remade but I wouldn't put it past someone to try to remake it someday.
then the hills have eyes remake shouldn't have ever been made.
I read somewhere that Wes Craven preferred the remake to his own original film. Go figure. I thought the Hills remake was pretty good but it was completely unnecessary. I feel the same way about the Dawn of the Dead remake - the running zombies really pissed me off though. (Apparently, Romero didn't like the running zombies either.)
now what did you think of piranha(2010) which was directed by the same director who directed the remake of the hills have eyes, alexandre aja? my gosh this film is amazing. even if it's a remake of one of my all time favorite films piranha (1978)directed by joe dante i would be ok with that bc this film piranha(2010) is technically one of the best horror films and films ever made.
I've never seen the remake. I'm surprised that you like it though. After all, it is a remake…
Maybe I'll check it out someday.
did you actually watch the joke that is the black christmas remake?
Hell no!
i cant' believe andrea martin stooped so low as to act in this movie when she was in the original film.
Maybe she needed the work.
did you like the texas chainsaw massacre remake or the i spit on your grave remake or the the last house on the left remake?
TCM remake was tolerable but unnecessary and NOTHING like the great original film in terms of atmosphere or outright terror. I'd rate it maybe a 5 or 6 out of 10.
I've never seen the I Spit on Your Grave remake (the original was enough…it was such a nasty, mean-spirited film) or Last House remake. I did see The Crazies remake though..it was decent.
Schrodinger's Cat walks into a bar, and doesn't.
