beautiful, bloody, bare: pretty as pulp.

Bava's lighting is absolutely wonderful. I can't believe that I never fully appreciated it before.

meticulous to insane amounts of fill, and always in just the right spots--streaks of hair, the lips, the cheek, the breast, the thighs--like brushstrokes. his women pop. (and his curtains are fabulous.)

Even though he hated it, I love what 5 Dolls For an August Moon looks like.

it's funny, despite the S.N. Johnsen reference in the post's title, Blood and Black Lace was what prompted that entry. I thought it was gorgeous. still haven't seen 5 Dolls for an August Moon, unfortunately. I'm slow.

oh, but I do have The Whip and The Body waiting upstairs. I'm so excited. I tried to watch it with Randy yesterday, but he wasn't into the subject matter (or the overtly S/M related title of the film). we ended up watching Fantasm Comes Again instead. ha.

on another (whip related) note... have you seen Jess Franco's The Sadistic Baron Von Klaus? I started it, got incredibly excited about it, but haven't been able to finish it because, again, Randy's not into it.

oh well. I miss watching movies with you. you have (/have seen/know of) all the good stuff.

Even if the movies are kind of crappy Bava makes everyone look colorful and amazing.

I actually haven't seen The Sadistic Baron Von Klaus though it looks awesome. That one may still be on netflix. I've kind of slowed down on the Jess Franco binge recently and have moved on to giallos and pink movies. Though, I think Matthew is getting totally sick of all the rape and the stabbing. We finished off all the Lone Wolf and Cub movies which were great and now he wants more samauri.

I miss watching movies with you too! Everyone else just gets sick of all the rape and the stabbing.

Randy says he wants to watch movies with Matt. something about "at least there are samurais."
