Though I'd be interested to know which movies you saw where you felt he was looping particular scenes--the only one I can think of where he does that is <I>Hallucinations of a Deranged Mind</I>, which is basically a cutting-room clip-show (though I still love it).<BR/><BR/>Sometimes a horror fan finds just the right thing at just the right time to make it click for him, and I think that's what happened with me and Coffin Joe. Also the innovation that Mojica displayed, being self-taught and basically creating the Brazilian horror show from the ground up, is inspiring to me. I've said before that I'd be very surprised to find out that David Lynch never saw any of his stuff, because there could definitely be some influence there.<BR/><BR/>But as they famously say, there's no accounting for taste. ;) Just don't expect to get a lot of traction from me dissing Ze do Caixao! <BR/><BR/>Of course if you start ragging on Paul Naschy, THEN we go to war! :DThe Vicar of VHShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832137990485130735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4032450846239938332.post-83845179039308900952008-02-12T18:30:00.000-06:002008-02-12T18:30:00.000-06:00Wish I could say I was a Coffin Joe fan, but the t...Wish I could say I was a Coffin Joe fan, but the truth is I find his films to be a little on the ho-hummy side. Now before you scream "HERESY!" or "SACRILEGE!" don't get me wrong, some of his stuff definitely contains some horrifically incredible visuals, but these don't usually add up to a good movie, and it's almost like he knows that too so then he loops those particular scenes over and over and well... tedium leads to the over use of the fast forward button and that to me equals horror disqualification. I like his costume though. Alot.Mr. Karswellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15889717828895556186noreply@blogger.com
