Don't know much more about it.<br /><br />You know, a video work would be the next step. I've entertained it, and I thank you for bringing the idea up!<br /><br />I agree about the "art"/experimental approach. Ken Jacobs/"forensic cinema" it, perhaps! I've already sort of done it: I excerpted a scene from <i>The Dark</i>, labeled it "The Most Perfectly Constructed Scene Ever?", slowed down portions to 50%, and then showed it to unsuspecting audiences. Might share it eventually... :PJRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544454753709801525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175631797077198516.post-81453593226532831792014-03-25T10:54:22.901-07:002014-03-25T10:54:22.901-07:00Friedkin, of course, an John Milius (wasn´t he int...Friedkin, of course, an John Milius (wasn´t he interested in directing the sequel of "Texas..."?).<br /><br />P:D: What about a video essay about Hooper?.

Kit Carson... Bill Friedkin?<br /><br />Does Dante have much an association with Hooper? Outside of both having projects shepherded by Spielberg, and Dante whom I heard speak in good faith saying Spielberg simply protected his project from the avaricious will of studio execs (<i>Gremlins</i>, of course, only <i>became</i> funny as he shot it).<br /><br />Fleischer I'll admit is still somewhat of a blind spot for me, though <i>Mandingo</i> was appropriately jaw-displacing. I can only look forward to exploring such a diverse filmography.JRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15544454753709801525noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3175631797077198516.post-78135205683572342652014-03-20T04:58:14.542-07:002014-03-20T04:58:14.542-07:00Maybe a collaboration, a long interview in two par...Maybe a collaboration, a long interview in two parts, with some texts of Mick Garris, Joe dante and... Spielberg.<br /><br />Fleischer is one of my favourite directors too. "Conan the Destroyer" and "Red sonja" are the most beautiful films of the eighties, along with "Lifeforce" and "Invaders from Mars".
