...the scary story. One of my earliest memories is a similar one. Boris Karloff in "The Mummy". I was at once absolutely transfixed and petrified in fear. My muscles were locked up and I couldn't turn away. Didn't want to. The relentless monster lived, and would not die! I was marked. Today, my granny would be locked up for child abuse. Truly.Now, I'm scared of exposing myself through the publishing of my "list". LOL. I'm averse to just compiling a list of my "greats". I'll try to think of something interesting to do in that regard but just a top 10 or 20 won't happen. I doubt you or any of these others in the audience have much to learn from me. If it's fun, I'll do it; if I become self-conscious, I'll probably just disappear into the balcony. I'll be damned if I'm going to get defensive over a movie.
Fact is, I'm still pretty much that little kid when it comes to movies. Overwhelmingly, it's primarily an emotional, a visceral experience. I look to live with the characters on the screen. Any reflection or comment on my part is framed initially in the depth of involuntary immersion in the story on the screen.
I criticise efforts like "The Departed", didn't think that highly of "Children Of Men". And so on. Likewise for DeCaprio, Damon and so on. However, I am grateful to everyone who makes movies; grateful for a lifetime of the most sublime enjoyment in two hour blocks that I can imagine. Well, ............next to sex. Hey, that's an idea. What about the greatest sex scenes on film?
About the swap, let me speak to my son and I'll get in touch with you to help set it up. Coincidentally, he speaks Portuguese. The Brazilian films you mention are new to me. Hope they're subtitled.
I'll be in contact soon.
