This movie was about a half hour too long. Cage REALLY fucks this one up with his garbage acting. 52 minutes into it, and he was actually doing the VAMPIRE'S KISS accent again, complaining about the alpacas being out of the barn. The whole melding scene and the incessant noises was annoying; I'd say overall, I found it a chore to watch. It had it's good parts, but it didn't change my mind about Stanley being a mediocre filmmaker.
So, shit, I think I agree with Alex K. , so everyone take note.

I mean, I love his original performance in VAMPIRE'S KISS, but his COLOR performance felt like a half-assed medley of personas. Like an aging solo musician whose performance of his old band's greatest hits sound like bad cover songs.
Originally posted by JoeS View Postthe second half of the picture doesn't fulfill the promise of the first - tonally or substantively. It would have been preferable for it to have all have been of one piece - either the fairly sober one of the first half, or the gonzo second. Half-Crazy Cage is a compromise.Last edited by Curwen; 09-11-2020, 02:25 PM.

Originally posted by Darcy Parker View PostStanley, to my estimation, has always been a great visual composer who tends to leave actors to their own devices. I've always thought he should just be a cinematographer/visual concepts artist, and leave the directing to someone who can engage the actors better.

File under: goddamnit and fuck shitty news. Scarlett Amaris has posted this to her blog, evidently exposing Stanley as an abuser. This bums me out on a number of levels.
