Dream the crow like dream...
May 12th, 2005 7:53PM I've loaded up my I-Pod with tons of my favorite songs from movies, and for some reason it seems to like THE CROW soundtracks (I'm working with the Shuffle model I always put into "random" mode because I am crazier than a bag of angel dust and love the chaos it creates). Made me wonder when that new Crow movie is ever going to get made - not likely considering how bad the franchise dwindled after the tragedy with the first one. But everytime I hear The Cure's "Burn" I float off on about 7 minutes of retro heaven picturing Brandon Lee and his stunt double jumping the rooftops. Put the original The Crow on my wishlist of a movie that deserves more special treatment than it got when it was first released. No deleted sequences, and we all know the "Skull Cowboy" stuff is out there somewhere. And I hated the PRODUCER'S commentary - what an insult. Give me the director and the cast any day over the guy who funded the project. Funny though -- that movie defined the 90s for me. Kinda dark and dirty with some great grunge soundtrack and constant rain. A tragic real story behind it, and plenty of heroin chic to go around with a "don't do drugs, just look like you do" message. It was the action version of My Own Private Idaho in a way. Okay, maybe not - but those two flicks together make my ultimate grunge '90s movie night -- The Crow and My Own Private Idaho. |
