(I'm only calling it "horror" because it's at least implicitly about Satan--actually, I guess Daniel does invoke "Beezlebub" pretty frequently.) It is, anyway, much more of a dessert than a meal, though I guess that's fitting for Halloween in its own way--I think I might have diabetes by the time I'm done eating my way out of the overstocked candy we bought from a grocery store that had clearly not recognized this whole "global pandemic" might have suggested adjusting their holiday inventories a little.<br /><br />Anyway, I'd give it another spin, it's on the Criterion Channel right now--though, of course, who knows for how *long.* Other than the probably-foolhardy hope I'll eventually get around to the foreign art films that'll probably be permanent fixtures there, I'm not 100% sure it's a good investment for me, considering how frequently they pull shit. I'm livid over the Albert Brooks stuff only being there long enough for me to see it and miss a chance to finally rewatch Defending Your Life.<br /><br />Apologies, this grumble got long.Hunter Allenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10925220178171355473noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4633480297352890314.post-14282170328123183612020-11-16T16:15:24.334-11:002020-11-16T16:15:24.334-11:00I watched this last year as part of an annual Hall...I watched this last year as part of an annual Halloween movies exchange thing (think secret Santa crossed with a movie club, but with gore) and it's very, very charming. I probably would've liked it more if I saw it under pretty much any other circumstances though.Brianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04546972990126033036noreply@blogger.com
