Elinor naps on my lap, upside-down, occasionally glancing at the screen. Wonder what she makes of the flick. Mon, 03:22 : It's been a few years since I've watched The Wicker Man. This FEARnet HD print looks lovely. Mon, 03:26 : The film is best considered cosmic horror predicated on a protagonist finding himself immersed in a questionably-sexy folk musical. Mon, 03:27 : "I think you all ought to know I am here on official business." Mon, 03:27 : "A stroke as gentle as a feather..." Mon, 03:31 : Love the vignetting and ritual hand motions during the Landlord's Daughter's song. I remembered this film more naturalisticly shot. Mon, 03:35 : "Now, Daisy. Can you tell us what it is that the maypole represents?" Mon, 03:49 : "I am confident your suspicions are wrong, Sergeant. We do not commit murder here. We are a deeply religious people." Mon, 03:51 : "Religious? With ruined churches, no ministers, no priests... and children dancing naked!" Mon, 03:51 : "Well, naturally. It's much too dangerous to jump through fire with your clothes on." Mon, 03:52 : "Sir, have these children never heard of Jesus?" Mon, 03:55 : Sergeant Howie: "He brought you up to be a pagan!" Lord Summerisle: "A heathen, conceivably, but not, I hope, an unenlightened one." Mon, 04:10 : "You'll simply never understand the true nature of sacrifice." Mon, 04:34 : Why hasn't anybody done The Wicker Man as a Broadway-style musical? Mon, 04:36 : Summerisle Apples: The sweet, sweet taste of sacrifice. Mon, 04:45 : Oh my!
