But the total effect is enhanced by seeing the old witch come toward the guy with arms outstretched ("Hi Honey, you're home!") in scary silence. Especially when it's dark in our long hall. Unnerving AND funny!<BR/><BR/>After looking up the film to mention it, Paul and I are keen to Flix it again to see it with new cinema appreciation. (I showed Paul the trailer and he thought it holds up visually, even today!)Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1161593523052337362006-10-23T01:52:00.000-07:002006-10-23T01:52:00.000-07:00Whoah..... !Just flipped to TCM and Kwaidan is on!...Whoah..... !<BR/><BR/>Just flipped to TCM and Kwaidan is on! It's something I've always wanted to see since sombody brought it up on the epic Silent Movies thread (which obviously ended up covering a lot of classics and world cinema after a while, completely outside of silent cinema). <BR/><BR/>OOps... it's over, and Robert Osbourne is talking about it now. Oh well.

I like the laser bore intensity of my right eye staring through the lens, which is emblematic for how I generally go through life, looking hard deeply trying to understand its workings. I like the Japanese witch hairstyle as that's how I typically walk around at home. <BR/><BR/>Paul once showed me a 1964 Japanese "horror" (not scary, artful) film called, Kwaidan <A HTTP://WWW.IMDB.COM/TITLE/TT0058279/TRAILERS HREF+ HREF="" REL="nofollow">cool trailer here if you like</A> whose name means "weird tales" and was four supernatural ghost stories in one. (The trailer says that Kwaidan is as close to fine art as cinema can get. Nice line.) but all I remember of it, in addition to the beautiful title sequence of ink dropping into water, was a grey crazy-haired "witch" haunting her betraying husband. She turns around with the same hairdo and expression I have in the photo above and floats toward him and scares the bujeebus outta him driving him mad. <BR/><BR/>Paul and I joke that we replay that scene when he comes home from work at night as I greet him from across our long wide colonnade! hee. (I walk around in tattered rags and stopped brushing my hair about 3 years ago. Looking nice too too much time away from other things.)Shelley Noblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10968333057020378002noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25158433.post-1161501836056043802006-10-22T00:23:00.000-07:002006-10-22T00:23:00.000-07:00What 'chu talkin' bout Shellis?!??!?!?!!That looks...What 'chu talkin' bout Shellis?!??!?!?!!<BR/><BR/>That looks like a glamour shot!Darkmattershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15410415900992364189noreply@blogger.com
