OK y'all I have a movie you need to see. It's called Pan's Labryinth (PL) and it is a departure from the normal drivel that curses the modern cinema, to put it mildly. Guillermo Del Toro wrote and directed and the audience was lucky enough to have some Q & A with Del Toro after the film.
That's right, he was there in person. Del Toro is fat, sailor mouthed and twisted and funny as isht. In other words, I thought he was great. He has directed Hell Boy, The Devil's Backbone (check that one too) and most recently PL - the premise of which is nutty, yet Del Toro pulls it off with flying colors.
In a post-Civil War northern Spain in 1944, a 12-year-old girl, Ofelia (Ivana Baquero), moves with her heavily-pregnant mother and stepfather, the captain, into a new home in the countryside. Captain Vidal (Sergi L__pez) has been posted to this remote area to rid it of a small Republican militia.
Disliked by the sadistic Vidal, Ofelia, who revels in ancient stories and fairy tales, discovers an immense and ancient labyrinth guarded by a Faun (Doug Jones). He tells her she is the long-lost daughter of the king of a magical land, and to regain entry to her kingdom she must carry out three tasks. So, Ofelia then enters a strange and no less dangerous world of fairies and extraordinary creatures such as the terrifying Pale Man (Doug Jones) pictured...see why this movie is great?
Now, what to rok? How about Nasty Nas "Can't Forget About You" and Miho Hatori "Ecdysis" two different genres clashing, yet meshing, just a page from the book of Del Toro.
Can't Forget About You
Are you referring to Doug Jones the former Indians closer. He's awesome
I thought you were dead. Regardless, this movie has been on my must see list for awhile. You lucky SOB.
Dying, but not dead. Doug Jones, you sure you don't mean Todd Jones? I don't remember any Doug Jones, sounds like an alias of yours, Dr. Thunder.
Check again C$. Doug Jones was, for many years the Indians all time saves leader. He had a big mustache and a beer gut. Just two reasons why I love baseball. Mustaches and beer guts.
I was just funnin' Thunder. I'm familiar with Dougie. I love beer guts and mustaches as well. What a sport!
